"He Was Everywhere": Fr. Guillermo Treviño's Posthumous Lumen Christi Nomination – Fr. Rudy Juarez – 08/11/2026

Father Rudy Juarez talks with Bo Bonner about the life and legacy of Father Guillermo Treviño, a priest of the Diocese of Davenport who has been posthumously nominated for the 2026–2027 Lumen Christi Award — the Catholic Extension Society's highest honor, presented annually since 1978 to those who "radiate and reveal the light of Christ" in the communities they serve. In this conversation: Fr. Treviño's roots — born in San Antonio, raised in Moline, Illinois, and ordained for the Diocese of Davenport after studying at Mundelein Seminary His deep commitment to the poor and marginalized, shaped by his own upbringing and inspired by the "two feet" of social ministry — charity and advocacy His long-running chaplaincy at Regina Catholic High School in Iowa City, and the outpouring of grief from students at his visitation Stories of a priest who was, in Fr. Juarez's words, everywhere — active in his community, in ministry, and on social media — and beloved for it The overflow crowd at his funeral Mass and what the Lumen Christi nomination means for the community he served Learn more: Read the full nominee announcement at Catholic Extension Society, and read Fr.
