It was announced in November that Scott Santarosa, S.J., has been appointed by General Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., as the next provincial of the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus. You can learn more about Father Santa Rosa in this video from Ignatian News Network.
Father Santarosa will take over this summer, succeeding Pat Lee, S.J., who has served as provincial since 2008. Eventually, Santarosa will be provincial for the new West Coast Province that will form when the Oregon and California Provinces unite.
Santarosa currently serves as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Los Angeles and previously taught at Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, Calif., and Verbum Dei High School in Watts, Los Angeles.
