Many parishioners, more than 30 guest priests, and even Mayor Esteves turned out for a recent celebration to install the church's newest pastor.

The excitement grew as the congregation of in Milpitas turned out in overwhelming numbers to celebrate the installation of its newest pastor, Fr. Justin Lee, recently.

More than 30 guest priests, including former St. Elizabeth Pastors Fr. Loi Huynh and Fr. Dan Urcia, were on hand for the joyous occasion.

San Jose Diocese Bishop Patrick McGrath celebrated the 11 a.m. mass and installation of Fr. Justin Le. A much larger than average choir was assembled for the occasion. A large contingent of Knights of Columbus Color Corps from St. Joseph Assembly elevated the event.
