“God does not deserve to have what is left of us, but He deserves to have the best of us!”

I am the director of the Guadalupe Choir at Our Lady of Guadalupe church in Montreal, Canada which is under the pastoral care of the Claretian Missionaries since 2005. The reasons and motivation for my involvement is to inspire the youth so that they may immersed themselves in our mission.

This journey has given me a sense of purpose and it has also filled my life with happiness. The children are my biggest motivation. Their willingness to learn and influenced by my work makes me believe that I am in the right place. Also, it gives me joy to know that I can provide avenues for migrant children to build a personal relationship with God through music. Through my passion in music, I hope to inspire the members of my congregation so that their talents and gifts will be of use to serve God.
