Leonidas (Leo) Herrera Ramirez is from Guatemala and joined the community in 2021. Leo says that he's eager to meet people and pray with them. He hopes that by teaching about the sacraments people will come to know Jesus. Leo has been living in Idaho since August 2021. Jesus Romero Angeles is from Mexico City and joined the missionaries 2021 and arrived in Jerome in May 2022. After some 8 months of doing discernment, he decided to give a year of service to the Church by serving as a Catholic missionary in Idaho. The missionaries will be living at the rectory in Hailey and are eager to meet people of both Our Lady of the Snows and St. Charles parishes. Join me in welcoming Leo and Jesus to the Wood River Valley and let us pray that their mission with us will bring people closer to Christ! They ask for no monetary payment for their ministry, but meals and transportation so they can do home visits.
