Father Mike Rizzo of St Edwards Catholic Church gave a very interesting talk about his journey after retirement as a business executive and corporate attorney. Unexpectedly, his wife passed away in 2012 and he needed a new plan for his life. Mike felt God's calling to the priesthood and was blessed to be accepted as a seminarian for the Diocese of Orange. He is thrilled to be the administrator at St Edward the Confessor Parish and has the responsibility for the parish school.
