Justice and Peace bids farewell to Estrada
|
|  |
| |
It is with sadness and regret that we announce the departure of Keith Michael Estrada, our coordinator for the past year and a half. Keith Michael brought a keen mind, with sound theological grounding, to his work among the Justice and Peace Community. His commitment to a Christ Centered approach to justice ministry, which encompassed the full range of Catholic Social Thought, inspired and challenged all who came in contact with him. His excellence in communication, especially the use of social media, enabled us to reach a new generation with the Gospel of Peace and Justice. His leadership in both the Anglo and Latino communities will be sorely missed.
Keith Michael and his wife, Caitlin, along with baby daughter Josephine, have moved back to Washington state to be closer to family. We wish God's blessing upon the Estrada family. We know we will one day again see Keith Michael as he continues his rise in leadership on to the national stage.
