Fr. Mike Perucho and Fr. Peter Saucedo serve as Vocation Directors for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Fr. Michael Mesa, a native of Southern California, had originally hoped to pursue a career in medicine. However, after graduating from USC with a degree in biology, and with hopes of applying to medical school, everything changed when he began to grow in his faith. Through deepening prayer and relationship with the Lord, the thought of priesthood began to grow in his heart. After a few years of prayer and discernment, he entered St. John’s Seminary in 2013 and after seven amazing years at St. John’s, he was ordained to the Priesthood in August of 2020.

Holy Family Glendale is his first parish assignment, where he is currently assigned as an associate pastor. At Holy Family, he strives to serve as a bridge connecting people to the love of Jesus Christ. On a personal level he enjoys nature, the ‘outdoors’, hiking, running, cooking and spending time with friends.
