Senior Program Officer Caitlin Furey Mayo and Philanthropy Fellow Emily Fairbanks recently joined the Catholic Schools Office, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington for its 2nd annual Hispanic Liaison Appreciation Day. This event recognizes the incredible work that Catholic school educators, staff, and volunteers do to engage their communities in Catholic education.   As “gente puente,” Hispanic and Latino Liaisons provide vital translation and family liaison support services for current and prospective Latino families. We appreciate Barbara Quisquinay, ADW’s Hispanic Marketing and Enrollment Coordinator, for organizing this event, and Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala for celebrating Mass in Spanish for the group.   The event was a concrete demonstration of the importance of community in fostering welcoming and inclusive Catholic schools.   Check out our #community page for a full recap: https://lnkd.in/dx4e2yWc   #catholicschool #catholiceducation #bilingual #inclusivecommunity #HispanicLiaisonAppreciation
