WALNUT CREEK, CAMy Greatest Supporters
Without a doubt, my parents Cielo and Neil Ricafrente have supported me through every aspect of life and raised me into the man I am today as well as my sister Sam, and my dog Luna. Special shout out to my professors Roy Allen, Dr. Julie Ford, and Sharon Lee Kim for allowing me to grow and develop. Lastly, I would like to thank the Academy as well as sidewalks for keeping me off of the streets.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My favorite Saint Mary's memory would either be when I traveled to South Africa for the World Choir Games in 2018 with the Saint Mary's College choir or when I studied abroad in Japan for Jan Term 2020. In addition, I will always treasure the infamous "water cooler talks" I had with my boys Michael Prebil, Moises Gonzalez, Ryan Ford, and Trent Cox.
My Next Chapter
Currently, I am working as an Agent at New York Life in San Francisco. I will be staying in Walnut Creek to spend time with my family and friends. At the same time, I am looking to further my career in music on the side and release an album in the future.

I wouldn't have gotten through all this if it weren't for my family. My mom, dad, and two brothers Diego and Mateo were always there to support me.
All my friends taught me things I couldn't have learned alone.
Shout out to Ross Leong, Jacob Ricafrente, Sarah Gallo, Clarissa Mongcupa, and Ruger Welty for always propping me up when I thought I'd fall.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
Working late night shifts at the front desk in the library because my coworkers were great friends and turned an unexciting college job into a party. Sharing stories with them and getting to talk to friends passing through the library was an enjoyable time I cherish.
My Next Chapter
This fall I will enter the seminary for Diocese of Oakland to study for the Catholic priesthood. God willing, after 6-7 years of formation I will be ordained a diocesan priest.
