As of September 1st, 2023, the new Parochial Administrator
of El Cristo Rey and Sagrado Corazon is Fr. Dan Vanyo.
He was ordained in 2012 as a priest for the Diocese of Phoenix.
He is originally from Woodland Hills, California and has lived in Arizona since 1986.
We thank Fr. Raphael Bercasio for his eight years of service as a Spiritual Father for the souls of these two parish communities. We wish him well at his new assignment
of Santa Teresita in El Mirage, Arizona.
May Christ bless you!
