2 More about Msgr. Marc Trudeau from an interview conducted by by Zachery Hipolito, SJHR 5th grader: I was born in California and attended St. Finbar Grade School, Luther Burbank Jr. High and John Burroughs High School. CSUN and graduated from USC. I entered St. John s Seminary and was ordained in I had always been active in my parish, even as a young adult. Prayer was always an important part of my life and I felt a special connection to Christ in the Eucharist. I ve been a priest for 25 years. My favorite part is connecting with people, especially in the key moments of their lives. I love celebrating the Sacraments and meeting many different people on Sundays. I haven t been bored since 1986 and that s a lot to say about the priesthood! I started at St. James the Less in 1991, moved to St. Philip the Apostle in Pasadena in 1995 and then on to St. Pius X in Santa Fe Springs in 2001 where I was pastor for 3 years. I served as Cardinal Mahony s priest secretary from In 2010, I was named pastor of St. Margaret Mary in Lomita and in 2013 was asked to come back to St. John's Seminary to serve in the Pastoral Formation Office for a year and then as Rector in As a priest, it is a particular privilege to be able to celebrate the Eucharist and to share it with our community, becoming what we receive and then sharing it with the world around us. Things I enjoy are college football, (Go Trojans!) and baseball (Go Dodgers!). I am a Middle-earth nerd and have read The Lord of the Rings about 40 times along with scholarly works about J.R.R. Tolkien s writings. I am a NCIS and NCIS New Orleans fan and enjoy sci-fi. The beaches we visited while growing up were Paradise Cove in Malibu or Zuma. In high school and college it was Will Rogers. When I lived in Lomita, I liked Hermosa Beach. I like Hawaii and have been there a number of times. This year, I am going to Ireland with 3 classmates. I ve been there before but my friends haven t so it will be fun. I read a lot and paint. I like the beach and mountains and spending time with my family. I enjoy my work and have never thought of it as a drudgery from which I needed to escape.
