New seminarian greets the kehillot

"Brothers and Sisters of the Hebrew Speaking Congregations, my name is Luis Perez. Although we have not met I feel connected to you all through Jesus Christ our Lord. I am an Israeli through immigration who now lives in the Los Angeles area in California. With the help of the Blessed Mother, I returned to the Catholic Church after practicing Judaism most of my life. It is with the greatest honor that I announce to you that I have been accepted to St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, CA representing the Diocese of Orange under Bishop Kevin Vann. I ask you, brothers and sisters, for your continued prayers as I embark on this most holy journey to becoming a priest. I am proud of you all, and I am very proud to be an Israeli. Keep the faith, and I too will pray for you. Thank you all for your support and I hope that God will find a way for me to visit you all in person. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!”
