Guest Speaker: Fr. Aristotle Quan
“In the world you will have trouble, but fear not for I have conquered the world.” John 16: 33
Father Aristotle Quan was born in Fountain Valley and grew up in Irvine, California, where he completed high school before pursuing higher studies at Cal State Fullerton.
Like many young people, he grappled with doubts about God’s existence for several years. However, a transformative trip to Jerusalem in 2009 profoundly changed his perspective. That pilgrimage to the Holy Land opened his eyes to new spiritual insights, turning what was initially a quest filled with questions into a sincere journey of faith.
He was eventually ordained as a Catholic priest and is currently serving his parishioners at St. Edward the Confessor Parish in Dana Point.

History of Orange Diocese Magnificat Queen of Peace Chapter
Est. 1992
In 1991, a group of women attending the Southern California Renewal Communities (SCRC) Charismatic Convention was inspired by a priest speaking about Magnificat, a Ministry to Catholic Women. The Holy Spirit touched the hearts of Pat Rensing, Anita Williams, Billie Walter, and Barbara Clark, prompting them to decide to launch Magnificat in the Orange Diocese. Fr. Eamon O’Gorman served as its first Spiritual Advisor. Bishop McFarland approved Magnificat for the Orange Diocese, and Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapter was born!
The first OC Magnificat Prayer breakfast took place at the Holy Family Cathedral Parish Hall in Orange, CA, in February 1992. The event was a potluck-style prayer breakfast. As Magnificat members continued to grow, they needed a larger space to accommodate more.
We are proud to celebrate 34 years of OC Magnificat! Our Lady’s mantle has protected and guided our Chapter, and we sing with her, “The Almighty has done great things for us, and Holy is His name!”
