Pastor
Father Edgar Elamparo
Fr. Edgar Elamparo was raised in Manila, Philippines, in a devout Catholic family whose faith was shaped by his grandparents’ active parish life in Zambales. After earning a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and building a successful tech career, he immigrated to the U.S. in 2004. His involvement at Saint Maria Goretti Church in San Jose led to a deeper spiritual calling, and in 2009, a discernment retreat at Saint Patrick’s Seminary revealed his vocation to the priesthood. He was ordained in 2011 after formation at Saint Patrick’s Seminary & University and Mundelein Seminary, and has since served in culturally diverse parishes across California and Illinois. He began his role as Pastor of Santa Teresa Church on July 1, 2025.
