The Very Reverend Olivero

It is with sadness and a heavy heart; that the Lord took home our beloved, The Very Reverend Cesar Olivero on Sunday, July 20, 2025, The Day of the Lord. He was surrounded by his wife and daughters Jessie and Josie.

The Very Reverend Cesar Olivero was born on June 12, 1959 in Queens, New York. He graduated from the Virginia Theological Seminary in 2003. He was ordained a Transitional Deacon on June 14, 2003, and was named Deacon-in-Charge of St. James Episcopal Church in Port Charlotte. He was ordained a Priest on December 19, 2003, and was installed as Priest-in-Charge following his ordination. On November 5, 2005, Fr. Olivero was named Rector of St. James and served that community for the life of his ministry.

Fr. Olivero was the Dean of the Venice Deanery, serving in 2024-2025, 2017-2020, and 2010-2013.
