Fr. Matt Murphy

Fr. Matt Murphy was raised in an Irish-Catholic family with two amazing parents and three older brothers. His father encouraged a life of sacrifice for the sake of others and his mother modeled a life of prayer. Despite these two great teachers in faith, he chose a path of life outside the Catholic Church for twenty years. Many lessons were learned along the way, but he didn’t find his passion and purpose until he returned to his Catholic roots in 1998, most assuredly drawn there through the relentless prayers of his mother.

Shortly after his return to the faith, he served in youth ministry for nine years at St Kateri in Santa Clarita, while discerning his call to the priesthood. The years serving the youth in his home parish were filled with fond memories of watching young people’s lives being transformed by God’s grace. He then entered St John Seminary to study for the priesthood in 2009. 

Fr Matt was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on June 4, 2016. His assignments for the Archdiocese include Associate Pastor at St Monica (2016-2018), Pastor at Our Lady of Malibu (2018-2024), and Pastor at St James (2024-present). He finds great joy in serving the “beautiful children of God” entrusted to his care. 

During the years preceding the priesthood, Fr Matt enjoyed a 27 year career in the grocery industry, working with Safeway, Weber’s Bread, and Snapple Beverage Group along with several startup beverage companies. He also spent a couple of years in the financial services field, specializing in life and health insurance. 

He looks forward to helping the Bishop Montgomery family with his God-given gifts.
