Joe Sanchez
My husband and I have been active members of the Parish since 2013. In my time at St. David’s, I have participated in Open Table, Altar Guild, the Hispanic Outreach Ministry and Education (HOMiEs), Foyers, and the Arbor Terrace Supper Club. I also currently serve as a Eucharistic Minister and have previously served as an usher. One of my most rewarding experiences was assisting a group of parishioners who traveled to Brownsville and Matamoros to assist those seeking asylum. Professionally, I am currently the Director of Assisted Living at Westminster. My work in this position has given me experience working with budgets, working with families in transition, and experiencing the unique gifts of a special segment of the population. In my community, I have numerous years of experience assisting various fundraising organizations in the Queer Community, raising money to support those living with HIV/AIDS. I feel called to serve on the Vestry because I feel it is a gift of service of my faith to the parish.
St. David’s is my home where I feel both welcomed and affirmed in who I am as a Queer Person of Color; that combination is hard to find in a faith community.
