Pray for a Fiesta next year!
 

St. Catherine Laboure parish has lost a wonderful advocate and volunteer.  Marco Sandoval, who died December 15, 2020 grew up in a house whose yard backed up to the school playground, in a neighborhood of big, active Catholic families. Marco graduated from St. Catherine Laboure School in 1976, but he never forgot his roots.  He maintained lifelong friendships with many of his classmates and kept close ties to both the parish and the school.  Marco coached the B football team as well as various levels of boys and girls basketball at St. Catherine’s school. He was also a member of the school’s marketing committee for many years.  He served as publicity chairman on the parish Fiesta committee for 12 years, while Fiesta attendance grew to record numbers.  He helped with entertainment during Fiesta weekend for 8 years, overseeing the bands and dance groups and serving as MC.  He was so energized seeing his friends and his parish family reuniting to support the Fiesta. 
Marco, you will be greatly missed. 
May you rest in peace.
