Fr. Reynaldo Clutario Jr., was born on July 24, 1967, in Tiwi, Albay, Philippines.

In 1980, he graduated elementary education and in 1984, graduated secondary education. In 1988, he graduated from Our Lady of the Angels Franciscan College Seminary, Quezon City, Philippines, receiving a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies, with a minor in philosophy and sociology. In 1993, he completed his master’s degree in Theology (Cand) at St. Vincent de Paul Theological Seminary, Tandang Sra Quezon City, Philippines.

Ordained to the Priesthood at the age of 25 on July 16, 1993, at Holy Cross Parish, Novaliches, Quezon City Philippines.  For him priesthood is Christ’s gift to the Church. It is his joy to be that gift and to be an instrument of Jesus’ love and mercy in administering the sacraments to many people who are lost and to people who need to experience the love of God and his forgiveness. Though unworthy he is to be Alter Christus, yet he believes at what St. Theresa of Calcutta said: “God does not call those who are qualified, he qualifies those who are called.”

His first assignment was to serve as a Formator or (Priest In-charge) of the SOLT College seminarians in Naga City, and at the same time he was assigned as Chaplain of Bicol Medical Hospital of the same place for two years and also as the Parish Administrator to a Quasi-Parish of St. Anthony de Padua. His first Parochial Assignment as Assistant Parish Priest was in Holy Cross Parish in Manila for 2 years. A meaningful ministry as the Pastor was devoted to the Parishioners of St. Vincent Ferrer Parish in Camarines Sur from 1997 up to 2002. In 2003, he became again a Pastor of the Parish of Holy Family Parish in the province of Sorsogon where he served for three years.  Aside from being a Pastor, he became a member of the (SOLT Asian Regional Council), second assistant to the Superior of the religious order (SOLT) from 2000 to 2003.

He is grateful that God has been given him the grace of good health; happy disposition in life coupled with a sense of direction and special charism and personal power that draw people together in unity and solidarity in his twelve years ministry in the Philippines.

In June 2005, he came to the United States of America having a Religious Working Visa and served in the Diocese of Phoenix, assigned to St. Elizabeth Seton Parish, Sun City for one year. After that year, the Bishop of Phoenix appointed him to be the Pastor of two medium size parishes: St. Frances Cabrini Church in Camp Verde, Arizona, and St. Joseph Parish at Mayer, Arizona. He served there as Pastor for six years and became a permanent resident of America. After 8 years, he became a Citizen of the United States of America in October 2013.

In July 2012, He was assigned as Parochial Vicar to the parishes of St. Francis of Assisi in Flagstaff, Arizona, and Cristo Rey Parish in Grand Canyon. He served there for three fruitful years. There he experienced how to work in the hospital (Flagstaff Medical Center) as volunteer chaplain with a little exposure at the prison ministry.

In July 2015, he was assigned as Parochial Vicar at Corpus Christi Parish, Phoenix, Arizona. In October of 2016, he was incardinated to be a Diocesan Priest of the Diocese of Phoenix.

In May 2020, Father Rey was appointed Temporary Parochial Administrator and in July 2021, he was installed as pastor.

We love having Father Rey with us at Corpus Christi, as he always reminds us: BE HAPPY!

My name is Fr. Shia Reh Marino and you can call me Fr. Marino. I was born on the 20th April, 1980 in Lawhtotanaw village of Phruso Township, Kayah State, Myanmar (Burma). I came from a pagan family and was baptized by a nun in danger of death. I joined Minor Seminary in 1994. I spend most of my life in Seminary. I completed my priestly formation both Philosophy and Theology in Myanmar (Burma).

I was ordained on the 22nd November 2009 and was assigned to Dolaco parish as an assistant priest for a year. After one year of assignment to Dolaco parish, I was assigned to Maphroshye parish as an associate pastor for a year and then to the Immaculate Conception parish in Phruso, the parish which I belong to. After serving over a year in Phruso as an assistant priest, Bishop Sotero Phamo, bishop of Loikaw Diocese asked me to come to serve in Phoenix Diocese which I have never heard before and dream about in my life. At first, I deny my bishop’s request by giving an excuse that I don’t speak very good English and people will not understand what I say or preach. Bishop Sotero told me that I won’t need to speak English at all time but in Burmese and Karenni most of the time for I would be looking after Burmese Catholic immigrants in Phoenix Diocese. Then, I reluctantly say yes to my bishop that I would go.

I came to Phoenix Diocese on the 3rd October 2013 and was assigned at St. Andrew the Apostle in Chandler as an associate pastor. As I arrived at St. Andrew, I have to preach in English every day. I went to English class every Thursday for 13 weeks until people came to understand what I say to them. I served as parochial vicar at St. Andrew in Chandler for four years and was assigned as a parochial vicar at St. Clement of Rome in Sun City for six years. Emeritus bishop Thomas J Olmsted appointed me to be a chaplain to Burmese Catholic Community in Phoenix in 2018 where I say Mass for them every Sunday at 3 pm at St. Louis the King parish in Phoenix until now. After six years of serving at St. Clement of Rome, I am now assigned to Corpus Christi Parish.

As a priest, I am happy to serve people of God especially celebrating the Mass. My hobbies are playing soccer and going hiking and camping. My priestly ordination moto is “ You are the light of the World” (Matthew 5:14). My main desire as a priest is to bring Jesus to others by offering Mass, bringing communion to the sick and homebound, becoming a healing instrument of God by hearing confession and giving spiritual direction and be an approachable person. Let us serve the Lord with gladness. God bless you all.

I am very blessed to have served as the Parish Manager since 2011. I primarily manage parish finances, accounting, human resources, IT, and corporate matters, as well as helping to coordinate building and improvement projects. I have a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and an MBA. I like to think of myself as the Pastor’s “right-hand man” and attend all Pastoral and Finance Council meetings. This parish is my second home. I have been married for 14 years to my wonderful wife, Jaime, and we have three children: Lucas (13), Lily (10), and Michael (8). They are all currently attending St. John Bosco Catholic School! My hobbies include family time, board games, video games, movies, hiking, and fantasy football.

Greetings to everyone!

My name is Steven Orlosky, and I am the new Coordinator of Communications and Parishioner Engagement. Connecting parishioners and staff, gathering online prayer requests, and making the e-newsletter are some of my tasks. I am your guy for anything related to parish events or if you’d like to request to hold an event at the parish. I also help ensure all volunteers meet the Safe Environment Training requirements.

My family and I are coming from Barling, Arkansas—a small town just outside of Fort Smith. My wife Huong and I have been married for nearly 12 years, and I have four young children: Josephine (7), Marie (5), Stevie (3), and Michael (2). As you might expect, there’s never a dull moment at our house. 😊 As an owner of a web development company, I have a strong background in online communication, as well as graphic and web design.

I feel so privileged and blessed to be part of the mission of Corpus Christi in bringing people closer to Christ. I can’t express to you the joy I feel in doing the Lord’s work, serving Fr. Rey and Fr. Johnson and everyone at the parish. As Fr. Johnson recently said to me, “You are a servant of servants.” Thank you for welcoming me into the Corpus Christi family, and please reach out to me for anything you need.

I have been the Bulletin Editor since 2007 and have had other administrative and communications roles over the course of my time on staff. I am married to my amazing husband, John, and we have been blessed with six children whom God has entrusted to our care as well as one child whom we hope to meet in heaven. I enjoy playing board games, watching Sci Fi and crime dramas, baking, reading, and sharing my Faith. I have a deep love for our Lord in the Eucharist, our Blessed Mother Mary, and my friend St. Thérèse.

I have been in the parish for 11 years, 10 as music director and 1 in my newly expanded role as Director of Music and Liturgy. My hobbies include playing board games and fishing.

Raised in Minnesota by active Catholics, Wendy Sue graduated from Clarke College (Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) in Dubuque, Iowa and followed her family to Arizona in 1992. Her spirit led faith journey deepened with a life altering pilgrimage to Međugorje, saying “yes” to serving Christ through a myriad of ministries, including Life Teen, which had inspired her move, and Assistant Directing the Diocesan Musical Jubilee 2000.

After a decades long Advertising Career with a local grocer’s family of stores, Wendy Sue was led to Corpus Christi in 2024 and is grateful to serve as Pastoral Care and Administrative Coordinator. Married since 2006, she and her husband Dave have a blended family with their son, a daughter & grandson. Her daily inspiration comes from The Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.

I have been a member of Corpus Christi for over 20 years. A job transfer brought me to Arizona from Maryland in late 1997. My late husband Kevin and I were married for 34 years and were blessed to raise a blended family. Together, we have five children and six grandchildren, living in South Carolina, Maryland, Tennessee, and California. I am a professed member of the Secular Franciscans, a Eucharistic Minister, and I volunteer in various other ministries at Corpus Christi. A favorite quote of mine from Joyce Coronel of The Catholic Sun is, “The love of God isn’t virtual—it’s real, and it’s in Person at every Mass, waiting for us”!

Corpus Christi had been my parents’ parish since the mid-80s, long before my family (wife, Dee Dee, daughter, Brandelyn, son, Graham, and I) came to live in Phoenix in 2000. While here at the Parish, I helped fix a few things here and there and was asked what I was doing the rest of my life. HA! So “The Handyman Ken” became a staff member. I love our Parish, its surroundings, the staff and of course, all of our parishioners. The work here is endless, as anyone would expect it to be when called the House of God. We strive to make each day count towards the safety, structural and mechanical functions of our buildings and grounds as well as unleashing the beauty of our parish.

I have been a parishioner of Corpus Christi since moving to Ahwatukee in 1991. I was originally a volunteer in the gift shop and later became the Gift Shop Manager nearly 16 years ago. I am also very involved in the planning of many of the Parish events such as the Parish Picnic, the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and various receptions held in the Parish Center, including the Parish Feast Day receptions. My husband, Steve, and I have a son and a daughter and 2 grandchildren. I love spending time with my family and reading.

A native Arizonan born and raised in nearby Chandler, Rob is excited to joyfully serve Corpus Christi Parish as Director of Faith Formation and Family Ministry. A lifelong Catholic, Rob has spent his entire life serving the Church in youth ministry, campus ministry, adult faith formation, and education at parishes and schools in the Dioceses of Phoenix and Salt Lake City. Most recently, he served as Director of Campus Ministry and Theology faculty at Benedictine University. Rob holds Master’s degrees in Pastoral Theology, Secondary Education, and Educational Leadership.

While he is truly humbled to be able to serve Christ in the numerous ways he has been called, none mean more to him than his vocation as a husband to Carrie, and father to Taylor, Molly, and Austin.

I have been a part of Corpus Christi since January 2023! Funnily enough, this the very first parish my family belonged to when we moved to Arizona from New York when I was just 4 months old (wild how life works, huh??). Shortly after, we moved to Gilbert, where I currently live. I have been a volunteer for my home parish since I was 13 and my passion for serving the church has only grown. And now I’m doing what I love most – serving and teaching about the Lord to our youth! I’m the second oldest of 5 kids (big families rock!). I love to hike, read, and spend time with family and friends.

Born andraised in Arizona; youngest of 3 with two older brothers. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education with an emphasis in special education. I was a special education teacher for 3 years teaching middle school students. I continued my education and pursued a master’s degree in applied behavior analysis with an emphasis in special education and worked in the field of ABA for 5 years providing early intervention therapy to children specifically with autism both in home and clinic settings. The Lord answered my prayers and called me to serve in ministry and with that, it is such an honor, and I am beyond grateful to be serving here at Corpus Christi as the Coordinator of Children’s Ministries / Faith Formation Office Manager.
