With a heavy heart, we write to tell you that Father Jeffrey King passed away in the early morning hours of April 14, 2026.
Fr. Jeff experienced a decline in health since early March. He received continual care from his doctor, as well as his pastor and friend, Fr. Frank Chacon. He also received great comfort and support from the many parishioners, family and friends who visited and prayed for him. He was surrounded by love and care in his last days with us. Fr. Jeff understood for some time that the Lord was calling him home, and passed on from this life with great peace.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Father Jeff, and for peace and consolation for his family and parishioners.
The funeral schedule has been finalized and can be found below.
May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
