Make an Appointment with a Priest

Priests

  • REV. FR. MARK WAGNER, PASTOR

    About Fr. Mark (excerpted from his 2018 “How I became a priest” article for St. Joseph’s Church):

     

    “I attended 6:30 am Mass every day at Presentation Parish before my classes at Lincoln High School.  I also tried to do a daily holy hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, following the famous recommendation of Bishop Fulton Sheen.  As the only young man in the Legion of Mary group,   I was “blessed among women” at meetings.  As a high school foreign exchange student in France, I discovered that most French people are non-practicing Catholics, who were amazed that I wanted to attend daily Mass.  By bicycle, I went to countless wonderful churches! Attending Delta College for two years, I played on the soccer team and gradually began to lose interest in becoming a priest.  Next, I studied journalism at Chico State University, becoming a disc jockey for a campus radio station.  I also attended parties and chased girls (but God prevented me from catching any!)  Throughout, I was not able to drown out the voice of God calling me to the priesthood.  I felt unfulfilled and resumed my practice of daily Mass and holy hour, and decided to enter the seminary.  When I told my roommates about my decision, they said it was “cool,” and I found out that some of them were Catholic.  After two years of college seminary, I was sent for five years of theology study in Rome. This was a blessing, as I was able to visit the shrines of Europe and the Holy Land.  I received a theology degree from the “Gregorian University” and a license degree (S.T.L.) in moral theology from the “John Paul II Institute for Studies of Marriage and Family.”   Upon finishing my studies, I returned home and was ordained a priest by Bishop Donald Montrose on September 24, 1988.”

     

    Fr. Mark is pleased to return to his “home parish” and looks forward to serving the parishioners of Presentation Parish.

Meet our Councils

The Pastoral Council is an advisory board that assists the parish in its spiritual growth. The Council, a representative body, collaborates with the Pastor in making major decisions, both pastoral and administrative, which affect the parish as a whole. The Pastoral Council consists of active members from our community that are appointed by the Ministry Team. Each are leaders of their respective ministries and serve a 3-year term with the option of re-election or re-appointment.

The Stewardship Council exists for the purpose of establishing and articulating the concept of stewardship in parish life. It also engages parishioners of all ages in stewardship practices and connecting the overall concept of stewardship with the parish’s mission to become a more deeply Christ-centered and Eucharist-centered community of faith. The Stewardship Council meets regularly to carry out and evaluate the stewardship effort on an annual basis, prepare a time and talent list or catalog of parish activities and organizations, ensure that those who volunteer are contacted and asked to become involved and updating of ministry and parishioner information.
