We want to welcome a newly assigned Deacon to Our Lady of Fatima parish, Deacon Charles “Chuck” Navarrete, Jr. and his wife Rebecca. Deacon Navarrete served in the U.S. Navy for 12 years as a Religious Program Specialist and was tasked with supporting clergy of all faiths in their pastoral activities as well as providing physical security for them in combat environments.
In the summer of 2005, he became the Business Manager for St. Margaret Parish in Oceanside, CA. He filled that role until 2017 when he was ordained a Deacon in the Diocese of San Diego and began serving St. Margaret Parish in that capacity. Today, Deacon Chuck Navarrete is the President and Co-Founder of The Emiliani Project, a Catholic non-profit organization which helps abused and abandoned children and he is supervising the construction of a facility in Medellin, Columbia that will provide shelter, education, medical care and meals for needy children.
We are grateful that he has been assigned to Our Lady of Fatima Parish. Please keep all our clergy: Deacon Navarrete, Deacon Lujan, Fr. Schultz, Fr. Ezeaputa and Fr. Trambley in your prayers.
Welcome Deacon Navarrete!
