We now have a Parish Council.
Our Parish is growing and has not had a Parish Council in over a decade, maybe two.
Fr. Angelo has been working on establishing a Parish Council for several months.
We now have a few members we would like to introduce you to.
Geri Salazar, Parish Council Chair
Geri has been a part of the Estancia Valley Catholic Parish for over 33 years. She has served in various ministries within the Parish up through today.
Currently Geri serves as the Parish representative on the Deanery B Rebuild My Church Advisory Group and has been active in bringing the wishes of the parishioners identified via the Listening Sessions held at each church within the Estancia Valley Catholic Parish into a reality, starting with the Church Fiestas in San Antonio, Saints Peter and Paul, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Churches. The goal is to continue to bring the rest of the parishioners recommendations to fruition.
Geri is looking forward to continued service to the Estancia Valley Catholic Parish serving on the Parish Council as we move forward with God’s blessings.
