Marco Raposo made a name for himself leading the Justice for Immigrants campaign in the Diocese of San Bernardino, working alongside Jeanette Arnquist, office director. Now the master of four languages turns his attention to leading the justice and peace office in the Diocese of El Paso, replacing the retiring Sr. Kathleen Judge. With others heading up Justice for Immigrants, Marco will focus on fighting poverty and promoting social justice ministries in parishes. Marco is an exponent of the “Fowler Flower Model” (clickhereforimage) of parish social ministry, a reimagining of the vision of Communities of Salt and Light utilizing the image of the parts of a flower developed by Rich Fowler of the Diocese of Stockton. He seeks to implement this vision in the diocese over the coming months.
