I sincerely wish to thank and appreciate the parish Administrator Fr. Chris and his associate pastor Fr. Altuna and all the parishioners of St. John Chrysostom church for all your love, prayers and support you have given to me these past two years of my studies in Loyola Marymount University. I thank you all for the material and spiritual benefit especially allowing me to have experience in this multicultural parish. Cultural diversity in our pastoral ministry encourages interest in the evangelization of the gospel. To God be the glory.

However, I wish to officially inform you that I will be leaving on the 31st of July to the Diocese of Fresno. I was permitted by my Bishop to have a ministry assignment with the Diocese in Fresno. Meanwhile, I will be traveling to Nigeria for the burial of my mother who passed away a few months ago.

I thank you immensely for your prayers. I also assure you of my prayers as I continue to minister in the Lord's vineyard.

In the union of prayers,

Rev. Fr. Jude Okonkwo
