Our Pastor

Rev. Randy Gonzales, CICM

Pastor

Rev. Randy Gonzales is a missionary priest of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, commonly known as CICM (Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae). CICM was founded on November 28, 1862, in Belgium by Fr. Théophile Verbist for missionary work in China. Today, CICM missionaries continue the work of evangelization in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, serving the Church through intercultural missionary ministry. As an exclusively missionary congregation, CICM missionaries leave their country of birth to proclaim the Gospel in foreign lands and cultures.

Fr. Randy Gonzales was born on November 21, 1974, in the northern part of the Philippines. He entered the CICM seminary formation program in 1992. He professed his first vows in May 1997 and later made his perpetual vows in 2004. He was ordained to the priesthood on July 29, 2004.

Following his ordination, Fr. Randy received his first pastoral assignment at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where he served from August 2004 until September 2007.

From 2007 until 2018, Fr. Randy served in a missionary promotion and development ministry for CICM in the United States. He first worked as Assistant Director and later became Director of Promotion at a 501(c)(3) mission organization dedicated to raising awareness of the Church’s missionary work and supporting CICM’s global missions through education, outreach, and fundraising. In this role, he traveled extensively around the country promoting missionary cooperation, mission education, and support for communities served by CICM missionaries around the world.

Fr. Randy later served as pastor of Transfiguration of Jesus Catholic Church from December 2019 until June 30, 2026.

In July 2026, Fr. Randy became pastor of our Parish.
