In 2012, I started in the Episcopal Church serving in several ministries as lector, Eucharist Minister, catechist, and leader of the Latino services. Through service to our neighbors, the poor, the needy and the sick and by the grace of God, I received the call to serve God. In 2016, I was ordained as transitional deacon and in 2017 became the first Latino priest trained and ordained in the diocese of Nevada.
I am the celebrant at the 11:30 and 1:00 services at All Saints. I serve our community as a volunteer chaplain at Sunrise Hospital. I am also the Treasurer of the Dioceses. As a faith leader, I provide guidance and hope to those who seek help and I am dedicated to families through marriage and youth counseling.
