Leader Bio:
Fr. Daniel was born in Riverside (Chicago) Illinois in 1961, the third of four children born to Joseph and Margaret Barica, of Czech heritage. The family moved to Hollywood, Florida in 1968, where most of his schooling took place. Daniel holds a B.A. in Art from Florida Atlantic University (’83) with a concentration in photography and an M.A. in Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia (’88).
Fr. Daniel joined the Saint Barbara Province of Franciscans, entering postulancy in Portland, Oregon in 1991, after spending the summer of 1991 at the Casa as a Covenant Worker. His education continued with the Franciscans with an M.Div. degree from the Franciscan School of Theology in 1998. His solemn profession into the Franciscan order was in August, 1998, and he was ordained a priest in 1999 at Mission Santa Barbara.
Ministry assignments included his time at St. Barbara parish before his ordination, then at St. Francis of Assisi parish in Los Angeles (2001-2006) where he became pastor in 2003. Later he was sent back to St. Barbara Parish at the Mission as pastor from 2006-2012. Fr. Daniel just finished an assignment as pastor at Sts. Simon & Jude Church in Huntington Beach from 2012-2020.
Daniel spends most of his free time learning new things to cook, as well as engaging nature through bird watching, gardening and photography, where he likes to “focus” his lens on the natural beauty of God’s creation. A website featuring his nature photos, calendars and note cards is in the making!

Our Lady of the Angels History
The Franciscan Renewal Center – or “Casa de Paz y Bien” – has existed since 1951 as a place for spiritual retreats, wellness, worship, healing and more. It predates the affluent Town of Paradise Valley – with resorts, mansions, pools, paved roads, and all. That a dusty, former dude ranch would become a God-filled spiritual retreat center and that the Franciscan friars –grounded in vows of poverty – would become surrounded by some of the area’s wealthiest residents speaks to nothing less than the astounding “coincidence of opposites;” that which unifies rather than divides.
Nov. 1, 1951 – The Kachina Lodge is purchased by the Franciscan friars and the 25-acre site officially becomes The Franciscan Retreat, the “Casa de Paz y Bien.”
Jan. 1, 1952 – The Casa opens with a retreat for Diocesan clergy, led by Fr. Owen DaSilva, OFM, as Superior.
Feb. 1, 1952 – The Casa begins its retreat ministry to the public. It holds its first retreat for men.
Feb. 8, 1952 – The Casa holds its first retreat for women.
Feb. 22-24 – What is believed to be the first retreat ever held worldwide for married couples takes place at the Casa.
Nov. 6, 1952 – Stations of the Cross by artist Fr. Luigi Sciocchetti are installed.
1953 – Fr. Owen, Fr. Conrad Wear, and Very Reverend David Temple led a pilgrimage of 80 people from the Casa community to Guadalupe, Mexico.
April 24, 1954 – The Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine by artist Fr. Luigi Sciocchetti is installed. Art conservators today believe it may be the largest example of Della Robbia style ceramic in Arizona.
June 19, 1954 – Ground breaking for the new chapel, built to accommodate approximately 60 people
Dec. 13, 1954 – First Mass in the new chapel was celebrated. Eight mass were held simultaneously.
Feb. 1, 1955 – Groundbreaking for a “Community House” (the friary)

1960s – The universal church sees declining numbers yet elects the nation’s first Catholic president. The dynamism of this decade leads the Casa to shift its focus from solitude and piety to a new commitment toward educational programs and interaction.
1961 – Fr. Conrad is reassigned. Fr. Ronan O’Sullivan becomes his successor as Superior, working alongside Fr. Ivo O’Sullivan and Fr. Albert Braun.
1965 – Br. Mario Vasquez arrives and begins a vegetable and floral garden.
