Hola! My name is Andrea Elizarrez and I am thrilled to present this new blog for Lo Cotidiano: Latina/o Faith Formation!
About Me: I am currently finishing my graduate studies at the School of Theology and Ministry at Boston College, working on an M.Ed in Religious Education with a concentration in U.S. Hispanic Theology and Ministry. I am also working as a graduate assistant at the Office of AHANA Student Programs (OASP), an on campus office which provides academic, social, cultural, and spiritual services for Boston College multicultural students. At OASP I am the grad assistant for Spritual Development and Outreach and I love my job! I have valued the opportunity to apply the education that I have gained at the STM to help foster the growth of the Spiritual Development and Outreach department at OASP and promote student involvement in spiritual opportunities.
About the Group: In addition to promoting student involvement in spiritual opportunities both on and off campus, I am also happy to say that I have established a new faith formation group on campus specifically geared towards Latina/os. This group, which is sponsored by AHANA is called Lo Cotidiano to express the U.S. Hispanic concept of Faith lived in the Everyday. And while last semester, it was specifically focused to serve BC Latinas, now the group is being expanded to include BC Latinos as well!
New and Exciting: Yip, this semester, Lo Cotidiano is Co-Ed and its taking another new direction as well, in that the group will now integrate more web-technology so that group members can communicate via this blog, a new facebook group and even You-tube in addition to the more traditional face-to-face meetings and emails!
I'm really excited to get started so sign up now to become part of this fun new venture!
