Priests
Fr. Alwyn Anfone
Priest Administrator
aanfone@sbdiocese.org(909)987-9312 ext. 1101
Father Alwyn B. Anfone was ordained as priest of the Diocese of San Bernardino by Bishop Gerald Barnes on May 20, 2017. Originally from the Philippines, he was born in 1959 and grew up with devout Catholic parents, two brothers and one sister. Although a late vocation, he felt the call for priesthood starting at the age of nine as an altar boy until high school. He thought priesthood was just “wishful thinking,” so he pursued a bachelors degree of science in chemistry at Silliman University, Dumaguete City, Philippines.
Father Alwyn continued to serve the Catholic church as he pursued a career in science. He worked for several years in a research nuclear reactor specializing in radioanalytical chemistry techniques in the elemental analysis of various samples.
Father Alwyn obtained his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina and his Masters in Divinity at St. Johns Seminary, Camarillo, California.
Fr. Andres Rivera
Parochial Vicar
anrivera@stpeterstpaul.com(909) 987-9312
Fr. Andres is a recently ordained priest for the Diocese of San Bernardino. Although born into a Catholic household, he did not really embrace his faith until his senior year of high school when he first felt the calling to the priesthood.
Over the course of 10 years, he volunteered at St. Joseph in Fontana as a youth group leader, lector, Extra Ordinary Minister of Holy Communion, Confirmation catechist, and pastoral council member. Serving at St. Joseph and neighboring parishes became his joy, even more than his digital media work in the Diocesan Media Office. It was through these experiences that he was able to grow closer to God and become more receptive to His plan for his life.
Father Rivera was ordained on May 28, 2022, and looks forward to accompanying St. Peter and St. Paul parishioners in deepening their relationship with God and His Church.
Deacons
Dn. John Barna
Permanent Deacon
jbarna@sbdiocese.org(909) 987-9312
Deacon John Barna and his wife Marie have been part of St. Peter and St. Paul community since the mid 1980’s. Working over 24 years from his home office in the salad dressing business provided the flexibility to be more involved with our church. Ministry for the Barna’s was ‘music and youth’, Marie as the first director for the beginnings of Life teen and Deacon John along with Louise Wilkerson, as the directors of the Sunday night choir. During this period of ministry the call to the diaconate came from this blessed community.
Deacon John sees a tremendous blessing in so many vocations coming forth from St. Peter and St Paul! We have enjoyed new Priests, women Religious and so many Deacons that he has lost count. He feels that the parish’s uniqueness comes from its sense of hospitality and its spiritualness, which feeds vocations and the community at large. Deacon John and Marie feel blessed to be a part of such a rich and diverse community here at St. Peter and St. Paul. They look forward to the many exciting years ahead, ministering and listening to families as we share life’s journey in faith together!!
