We have a new coordinator! Marie Connelly de Palacios has
been selected for the job of guiding and coordinating Guatemala
Partnership efforts in the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, a
position ably filled for many years by the Rev. Ellen Dozier. Formerly executive
director of Catawba County Hispanic Ministry/Centro Latino in Hickory,
Marie has years of experience working with nonprofit organizations and
educational outreach programs and she's a certified court interpreter in
Spanish. Plus, she views her life's journey as led by God.
In
addition to her work with our Presbytery, Marie has another new job:
executive director of Exploring Joara Foundation. Located near
Morganton, Joara was an indigenous village and site of Fort San Juan, an
active archaeological site where a 16th-century Spanish fort is
currently being excavated.
Welcome, Marie!
