Our Clergy
Fr. Joseph Thu Le
Pastor
“I love the outdoors. On my day off, I’m either hunting or doing something in the wilderness. What I love even more is to see a family rooted in the faith. I also take the Sacraments very seriously so if you ever have an emergency and need the Sacraments, I will do everything I can to be there for you and your family.”
Fr. Gregory Cheo
Parochial Vicar
“I am passionate about learning new things. I enjoy research and writing books. If I could, I would live in a library. I also love my priesthood and being with the people. I’ve only recently moved to the United States and am constantly moved to tears by the generosity and hospitality of our church community.”
