I pray all of you are doing well. I know it has been a while since we have had a chance to talk and meet about Faith formation. I am writing to you because we have hired and brought on board St Dominic’s new Coordinator of Religious Education, Sister Maria Mercedes Castillo. Sister comes with a lot of experience and a warm heart. I hope all of you will help me welcome her to the St Dominic Community. Below is a little about her:
Sr. Maria Mercedes Castillo, belongs to the Institute of the Camboni Missionary Sisters. She has a double masters degree in pastoral ministry and mental health. As a missionary she has been in Italy, Zambia (Africa), Spain, Mexico, her country of origin, and in this country, U.S.A. serving in different Parishes in the formation of Catechists and lay people for the service of the Church. She loves to be part of the Religious Faith formation program. In San Antonio she collaborates with different associations that welcome, integrate, and accompany the asylum seekers in the city and at the border.
