Meet Eloy Escamilla
Our New Pastoral Associate for Religious Education and Youth Ministry
Eloy Escamilla joined the parish staff on Monday, August 2 as the Pastoral Associate for Religious Education and Youth Ministry here at St. Gertrude.
Eloy comes to us after six years in a similar position at Our Lady of Guadalupe parish on the southeast side of Chicago. He has received both a Master of Arts in Theology and a Master of Divinity from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
Eloy's email is eescamilla@stgertrudechicago.org.
Below is a letter from Eloy:
Hello! My name is Eloy Escamilla, and I am the new Pastoral Associate for Religious Education and Youth Ministry here at St. Gertrude Church. I am from Pachuca, Hgo., Northeast of Mexico City. I obtained a Master of Arts in Theology, majoring in Scriptures (New Testament) and a Master of Divinity from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. I am so excited and thankful to God to be a new member of the staff!
It is always exciting to come to a new place and learn new things, get to know new people, and share our talents so together we can all build up the Kingdom of God that Jesus would always talk about.
Teaching Religion is one of my passions, so I am looking forward to meeting with our students who attend Religious Education classes. I am also looking forward to meeting and working with catechists/teachers and parents who share their faith with our students. And of course, I am looking forward to meeting you all!
I am always going to try to do my best with a big smile!
Prayers!
~ Eloy Escamilla
