Deacon Luis Sanchez
Luis is the first Hispanic Deacon of the Diocese of Green Bay. He was ordained May 20, 2000. Luis comes from a large family in Cuquio, Jalisco, Mexico. His parents were always very active in the church and Luis followed their example. In fact, Luis mentioned that he was considering priesthood but his parents did not have money to send him to the seminary. When he came here almost 25 years ago he began working at Packerland Packing.
Since arriving here, he and his wife, Maria Carmen, had five children, Ricardo (Ricky), Oscar, Sonia, Monica, and Laura. He soon became a leader in the Hispanic Community. When they came to St. Willebrord Luis assumed a leadership role in the church. After much prayer and then four difficult years of classes he was ordained.
