Sr. Lourdes is currently missioned to Migrant Border Ministry in Edinburg, TX. Sr. Lourdes has a strong connection to our Missionary Cenacle Family and a deep love of our charism which is often expressed in her affirmation of others and encouraging them to “Be good, Do good and Be a power for good” in their daily lives. Sister was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and always looks forward to return visits to the “Isla del Encanto” (‘Island of Enchantment’).
