HISPANIC EVANGELIZATION

Contact Me for:

• Catechesis and formation in Spanish
• Youth ministry to the children of Hispanic immigrants
• Any Questions about Hispanic ministries in the Archdiocese

Bio: I will be at the service of the growing Hispanic community in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, providing catechesis, sacramental prep and formation in Spanish and English. I love to share the life-giving beauty of our faith with all people but I am especially drawn to service to the poor. Hispanic Catholics suffer from a great disparity in outreach by the Church and I am utterly thrilled to be at their service. Hispanic immigrants need Christ more than anything and I want to serve that need.

A Little About Me: I am married to the Managing Director of Marriage and Family, Adriana, and we have two children: Peter Julian and Zoe Anastasia. I love to workout, read, listen to all sorts of music and follow sports. I was raised in California and went to college at Notre Dame (Go Irish). My parents are Mexican immigrants and I have two brothers and two sisters.

Favorite Saint: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Thomas Aquinas, Therese of Lisieux and John Paul II

Favorite Bible verse: "Look towards Him and be radiant," (Psalm 34:4)

Bio: I am very excited to be involved with the faith formation of the Hispanic Community. In 2019 I earned a Doctorate of Sacred Theology (S.T.D.). My doctoral topic was Mary as a Jewish Mother in relation to the women of the Hebrew Bible. I have also been working as a faith formation teacher for more than fifteen years. I am a theology Catholic speaker and I have been writing articles for different publications. My former job position was Director of Faith Formation and Evangelization at a parish in Indiana. I have spent my life studying theology and also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Sciences from La Salle University in Mexico City, and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) in Biblical Studies from the Pontifical University of Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico. Concurrent to my studies in Mexico, I studied at the International Marian Research Institute (IMRI) at University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio.
