Rev. Mr. Raffi Rey

Deacon

Deacon Raffi has been a part of St. Vincent's for many years. He and his wife Diosy have been very active, especially after Raffi was ordained to the permanent diaconate. You will see Deacon Raffi active throughout the parish, using his financial background to help with free tax preparation as well as the annual budget for the parish. He also coordinates our RCIA program for those wishing to enter into communion with the Catholic Church. He regularly serves at the 815am Mass so you can always see him there!

Rev. Mr. John Bockman

Deacon

I was born in San Diego, CA. We moved to Memphis, TN and Oahu, HI due to my father being in the Navy, finally settling back in CA in 1967. I attended high school in Union City where I graduated in 1979. Was married in 1987 to my wife Beatriz, and we have three children who are all in college now. I started my diaconate formation in 2009 and was ordained a Deacon on June 28, 2014 by Bishop Jaime Soto of the Diocese of Sacramento at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. I was assigned to St. Vincent Ferrer Parish. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching movies, and listening to music. I love to cook various foods, but BBQ is my favorite. I look forward to serving our SVF community for many years to come. My two favorite bible scriptures are 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and Ecclesiastes 3:1-13.
