Hal Embree entered the Catholic Church through RCIA in 1984 and has joyfully sung in his parish choir ever since. He moved to Oxnard in 2013 with his wife of 46 years, Angela, after retiring from the Nevada Department of Corrections, where he worked as a Prison Mental Health Counselor for over 30 years. He is excited to serve as the new English RICA Coordinator for Santa Clara parish.
