Around The Diocese For May 15
Moving to Michigan
“It is with great sadness that I share with you that Cesilie Cordovilla, our Immigration Legal Services Specialist, will be moving to Michigan later this month,” writes Sharon Burns, diocesan director of Catholic Charities and Hispanic Ministry.
“While we knew she would be following her husband to graduate school for quite a while, the day seemed to arrive far too soon.
“Cesilie has served Catholic Charities very well. Her creativity, foresight and hard work have allowed us to build a robust Immigration Legal Services program as well as increase our outreach to Spanish speaking residents of Southern Indiana.
“She was instrumental in getting the Latinos Love Evansville program off the ground. Cesilie has served as our connection to a variety of community organizations -- invaluable in building our reputation as passionate, caring and connected to the community.”
