Patrick Rivera

Patrick Rivera is the director of the Office for Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of San Diego. He is a graduate of Seton Hall University. Not knowing what to do with a degree in philosophy, he was an automotive technician before God called him into ministry. Patrick’s storytelling, humor, and depth comes from his experience as a youth and young adult minister, missionary, seminarian, and worship leader, but most importantly from his first church, which consists of his wife, Margot, and their five children. Patrick was born in California, raised in Tennessee, studied in New Jersey, and calls San Diego home for now.
