Meet Mr. La Rocca

 
A native New Yorker, I have been married for 37 years and raised five children in Maryland to serve and love God by loving and serving their neighbor.  My Venezuelan wife and I originally came to Texas to live in the Valley and be closer to our grandchildren.  After three years of sharing our South Texas experience, God provided us with the wonderful opportunity to serve Him by sharing our talents with the St. John Paul II community.  It is an ongoing mission which blesses us daily for in giving we receive much more.
