New LA priests 2025: Christian Morquecho
While away at university in San Diego, Christian Morquecho struggled with his faith, as college students often do.
College life was overwhelming: classes, stress, fitting in, big decisions.
Thankfully, his family had been a faithful one. The youngest of four, Morquecho had grown up in the Church, attending his share of youth ministries and confirmation retreats.
One time while he was home visiting, his mother suggested he check out a beautiful church near his college campus.
