Annunciation Catholic Church, Altamonte Springs

Fr. Ivan Olmo was ordained a priest by Bishop John Noonan on May 25, 2013 at St. James Cathedral in Orlando. He is originally from New York & previously worked as a manager with AT&T for 23 years. He was involved in many parish ministries & in 2007 a conversation with a priest planted a seed in his heart that led to his vocation to the priesthood.

Fr. Olmo graduated with a master’s degree in theology from Blessed John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, Mass., a seminary for men who receive their calling to the priesthood later in life. He also has an associate’s degree in accounting, a bachelor’s degree in business management and an MBA. He speaks Spanish fluently. Before being appointed pastor of Annunciation, Fr. Olmo served as parochial administrator of St. Mary Catholic Church in Rockledge, and as parochial vicar at Resurrection Catholic Church in Lakeland.
