I am Miriam Arelis Cruz, Director of Faith Formation. I have been coordinating in the Faith Formation program, for over 15 years. My duties at my prior Parish were: pre-baptismal preparation in Spanish, assisting English classes, RCIA Spanish, all Faith Formation Elementary Spanish and English classes, sometimes a sub teaching, and I am also a Eucharist Minister.  I am a chef, a talent that God has given me and that I truly enjoy. My call for my ministry was at a very early age, when I found myself in a strange country with a variety of cultures. When I became a mother, I made a promise to myself that I will raise my kids Catholic; I have two, my daughter Stephanie and my son Andrew. My faith and my kids are what give me  strength to walk everyday in this journey that God has called me to. On August 1st, 2015 God sent me the opportunity to share my faith in a different community, and here I am with all of what God has given me in my ministry, to share with the community of St. Vincent de Paul. Bendiciones.
