They generously and enthusiastically meet with a number of couples who live in Manitowoc, but attend Mass at St. Willebrord's and think nothing of driving into Green Bay on Saturday and Sunday to meet with Green Bay couples. Being the 'elders' of our sponsor couple team, they are greatly admired and appreciated. Carlos and Guadalupe started their involvement in parish life at St. Clement Parish in Sheboygan. Through that parish, Carlos attended a leadership community class in Milwaukee and eventually became involved with St. Willebrord Parish. Carlos and Guadalupe like to think that they are helping to make a difference in the lives of engaged couples.
Communication is so key in any relationship in every vocation.
Carlos and Guadalupe encourage the couples they mentor to talk openly about anything that concerns them. We are available to answer any question for people about anything. We tell the couples that if we don't have an answer for them, we will get one from Fr. Ken or Sr. Melanie, but we have not had to bother them yet.
