Biography:
- I was born in Michoacán, Mexico. I came to the U.S. in 1983, and have lived here since that year. I am married and have four children. I directed the Spanish choir at Holy Rosary from 1983 until my Ordination. Since my ordination, I sing at Christ the King on the second Saturday of the month at the 7:00pm. Spanish Mass. I was Ordained as a Deacon in 2005. Before I was ordained, I worked for our community as a Pastoral Associate. I am doing many different things for our community and for our diocese. I enjoy my ministries here at our community, including coordinating Spanish RCIA, advocating annulment cases, administering Sacraments and visiting the sick and imprisoned.
Hobbies: I like to read, walk and run, to observe nature, and to meditate on all of God’s creation.
Sayings or quotes: “With God and prayer, all is possible.” “Do good, it doesn’t matter to whom.” “Do what God wants, love what God makes.”
Other facts: Be open to learn, to love, to share, to forgive and to ALWAYS depend on GOD.
