Join me as we reflect on God’s design for the family and the sacred roles of fathers and mothers. Together, we will explore how a strong, Christ-centered home can protect our children from falling through the cracks of today’s culture and form them in faith, virtue, and truth.

BIO
Fr. Gerardo Vázquez is Pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in East Palo Alto and a priest of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Ordained in 2022, he previously served as a parochial vicar in San Francisco and at the Mission parishes of St. Peter, St. Charles Borromeo, and St. Anthony of Padua, and has assisted the Missionaries of Charity.
Fr. Vázquez has supported Gabriel Project retreats as well as marriage and family retreats and has taught Sacred Scripture through the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s Leadership Program. Before entering seminary, he worked for nearly twelve years as an aerospace engineer.
His vocation to the priesthood was deeply shaped by Eucharistic Adoration, through which he discerned God’s call to give his life more completely to Christ and His Church. His love for the Eucharist also fostered a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom he credits with continually leading him closer to her Son.
