Dear Saint Charles Borromeo Family:
My heart is heavy with the information I am sharing with you today. On Saturday, May 27, Jonathan "Jonny" Nguyen - an active and well known youth in our community - passed away unexpectedly while visiting the Feather River in Plumas County. Jonny is a recent graduate of Chico State University. He and his family have been long time parishioners of St. Charles and have been residents of Livermore for many years.
We will miss Jonny's welcoming smile, positive attitude, contagious laughter, and ambitious nature. He was a bright light to all of those who were around him. Our hearts and prayers go out to Jonny's family and his many friends during this difficult time.
If you, a friend, or a family member are in need of council, I am available to meet with you. To schedule an appointment, please contact our parish office at 925-447-4549 ext. 101.
Additionally, Jonny's family has set up a GoFundMe account in his name. If you feel inclined to contribute, please do so at the link above.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
- Matthew 5:4
