New LA priests 2025: Allan Carodan
Sometimes Catholics, especially in the United States, might take their faith for granted. Allan Carodan is not one of them.
Trying to practice your faith in Saudi Arabia will do that for you.
Carodan had felt called to the priesthood in high school, and had been accepted into the Comboni Missionaries in the Philippines at 18 years old. But after two years with them, he said he had to leave to support his family.
As part of that journey, he found himself years later as the executive assistant to a CEO in Saudi Arabia.
