Apr. 30, 2021 Nicholas Wolfram Smith San Francisco Archdiocese seminarians Deacon Jerald Geronimo and Deacon Gerardo Vazquez are one step closer to priesthood after their ordination to the transitional diaconate Apr. 17, when Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone conferred Holy Orders upon the two in a small Mass at St. Patrick s Seminary & University. Deacon Geronimo has been assigned to Church of the Epiphany, San Francisco for diaconal ministry and Deacon Vazquez has been assigned to St. Veronica Parish, South San Francisco. Growing up in “a solid Filipino family” in Daly City, priests were an important influence in Deacon Jerald Geronimo’s life and an example he wanted to follow. As a small child at his grandparents’ daycare, he would play at saying Mass and gather the other kids around him.
