Dear Parishioners,


I write today to share with you an important transition in our parish’s youth ministry and Confirmation leadership.


For the past four years, Mike Aliscad has been a dedicated and joyful presence among the young people of our community. With energy, depth, and reverence, Mike has guided our Confirmation program, helping our teens grow in faith and connection with the Church. He has played a central role in leading our deanery youth group, Praise, organizing annual gatherings that have brought together nearly 400 Confirmation candidates on our campus, along with fellow ministers and dynamic guest speakers.


Mike’s contributions extend far beyond the Confirmation program. He has actively supported our K–8 Faith Formation by teaching classes, coordinating liturgies, and assisting wherever needed. With his natural aptitude for technology, Mike has also generously supported our staff and volunteers by maintaining our website, helping with livestreams, preparing programs and flyers, and solving day-to-day tech challenges.


I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mike for his hard work, creativity, and the genuine love he has brought to this ministry. While he is stepping back from his leadership role in youth ministry, I am happy to share that Mike will continue to assist us with our technology and communication needs.


As we thank Mike, we also welcome Mr. Nelson Gonzalez as our new Youth Minister. Nelson brings tremendous experience and passion for accompanying young people on their journey of faith. He previously served as the Diocesan Youth Minister 

for the Diocese of San Jose, and has led many successful initiatives, including retreats, reflection days for youth and school children, and pilgrimages to World Youth Day.


Nelson will be formally introduced to our community in the coming weeks, and I invite you to join me in giving him a warm Christ the King–St. Stephen welcome. I am confident that under his leadership, our youth ministry will continue to flourish and grow.


Let us continue to pray for Mike, Nelson, and all those who serve our young Church. May the Holy Spirit guide and bless this new chapter in our parish’s mission.


As we look ahead to next year, we will be celebrating two significant anniversaries: the 75th anniversary of the founding of Christ the King Church and the 60th anniversary of the founding of St. Stephen Church.


These anniversaries are more than just dates on a calendar — they are moments of deep gratitude, reflection, and renewal. They remind us of the generations of faithful men and women who built our parish communities through prayer, sacrifice, service, and unwavering faith in God's providence. Their legacy is our foundation, and their witness continues to inspire us as we move forward in our mission.


We are entering what I would like to call a "year of grace." A time to remember the past with thanksgiving, to celebrate the present with joy, and to look to the future with hope. It is a year to give thanks for all that God has done and continues to do in and through our parish.


To begin preparations for this special year, I will be asking our Pastoral Council to take the lead in planning celebrations, liturgies, and events that will help us mark these anniversaries in a meaningful and uplifting way. We hope to include all members of our community — young and old, past and present — in

the celebrations. This will be an opportunity not only to honor our history, but also to deepen our identity as a united parish family, rooted in Christ and sent forth to serve.


Let us pray together for a spirit of unity, gratitude, and joy as we prepare for this sacred year. May Christ the King and St. Stephen, our patrons, intercede for us and continue to guide us in faith, hope, and love.


~Fr. Paulson
