At the end of 2007, I was touched and honored to be invited
to the annual awards service for
Mision Cristo Rey, a Spanish-speaking congregation in Watsonville,
CA. Cristo Rey was one of the missions of the
Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real with which I worked
when I was Convener of the Department of Missions (2003-2007).
It was a triumph when, through the efforts of a great many
dedicated supporters, Cristo Rey was finally
welcomed into union as a diocesan Mission at the October 2007 convention.
The plaque is “For the great effort on helping us become a mission. Thank you
– we will always remember your hard work!”
