As a diocesan priest in Los Angeles, his first assignment (1990) was to Holy Family, Artesia. After four years, he wanted to become more proficient in Spanish, so he chose to go to St. Elizabeth, Van Nuys. He served this community from 1994 through 2001, as both Associate Pastor and Pastor. In 2001, he was assigned to St. Augustine, Culver City, to serve as their new Pastor. He lead the community in working on a much needed master plan, renovating all the buildings, completing fund raising, design and construction. During his tenure at St. Augustine, he was elected by his brother priests to serve as Dean, for Deanery 13, of Our Lady of Angels Pastoral Region. He served on the Priest Personnel Board for eight years, and enjoyed getting to know many priests and parishes throughout the Archdiocese. In 2012, he took a much needed personal break from ministerial service and worked for Putnam Accessories, in Los Angeles. On July 1, 2014, Fr. Kevin returned to active ministry at Holy Family in Glendale as an associate under Pastor Fr. Jim Bevacqua (former Associate at Holy Trinity, San Pedro).
Beginning July 1, 2018, Fr. Kevin will be here with us as our new Pastor. He enjoys serving the parish community and looks forward to walking with us in our journey of faith.

Mail: 209 N. Hanford Ave., San Pedro, CA 90732I come to Holy Trinity after serving three other parishes, Holy Family in Glendale, St. Mary’s in Palmdale, and St. Michael’s in Los Angeles. I look forward to being with all of you. Prior to my coming to the USA in 2011, I served the Archdiocese of Bombay (Mumbai) for 21 years as an Associate in 3 parishes and later as a Pastor in two parishes. I came to the USA on my Sabbatical leave in 2011. Sensing the acute need of priests in the USA, I told the pastor in Palmdale that I could serve the USA for some years, provided my archbishop consents. Accordingly, Archbishop Cardinal Oswald Gracias, one of the nine Cardinals on our Holy Father Pope Francis’ Advisory Team, accepted my request to allow me more time to serve here in LA. Later on, I submitted a request again to remain in LA.

In my family, we have four kids: two boys and 2 girls, coming originally from Goa, in India. However, we were all born and raised in Mumbai. I am the third in the family, preceded by my elder brother and a sister. I have a younger sister too. Both of my parents have completed their earthly journey, and, as our faith reminds us, are now with the Lord for eternity. My elder brother is a music teacher in Mumbai, while my elder sister is a teacher in our parish school. My youngest sister tutors and is actively involved as a Catechist.
I joined the seminary in Mumbai, and also completed my Philosophy and Theology there. I was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ on March 31, 1990. I relish my ministry here at Holy Trinity Church.
