This past year the Indiana Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross inaugurated the Spirit of Holy Cross Award to acknowledge the critical importance that collaborators play in living out the vision of Blessed Basil Moreau. Rosalinda Sanchez Garcia is among the first eight award recipients—a group spanning the world from East Africa to Latin America to several individuals in the United States.
A parishioner of Parroquia Nuestra Madre De La Luz parish in Guadalupe, Mexico, Rosalinda Sanchez Garcia is a trained and professionally educated social worker. In her personal life, she is a dedicated wife, mother, and woman of faith. As well, Rosalinda is integral to the social service ministries at her parish and the development of the Holy Cross seminarians who assist in this area.
Among the many programs that Rosalinda coordinates are several week long student plunges for high school and college groups from the US, a program that provides assistance to needy students in area schools, and the parish Caritas program that collects food for the hungry and provides meals for the elderly. Holy Cross Seminarians regularly work with Rosalinda in her outreach programs and, through her supervision, they have developed as modern day disciples who “must have the competence to see and the courage to act.” (Holy Cross Constitution #2.14)
Holy Cross thanks Rosalinda for her efforts to carry out the mission of our founder, Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., who sought to make God known, loved and served in education, parish and mission settings.
