Meet SSJ Clergy & Staff

Michael Rangel

Sacristan

[email protected]

As a sacristan, I coordinate and schedule volunteers for all of our liturgies and ensure that all necessary supplies for Mass are ordered and prepared. I work closely with our priests to train and support our liturgical ministers, helping them serve with reverence and confidence. I also assist families in planning and coordinating every aspect of funeral liturgies, offering compassionate guidance during their time of loss. 

  • Tell us a fun fact about yourself: I came to the very first Mass held at Saints Simon and Jude. We used part of the school for our Sunday Masses. 
  • What is your favorite holiday tradition and why:  After the midnight Mass, the kids and I would go to Dennys for a late-night dinner. It was a time when we were all together, with no outside distractions. No phones, just time together as a family.
