My name is Monica Lopez-Cedillo. I attended St. Mary's Catholic School, volunteered and coordinated both elementary and high school religious education classes for several parishes for at least 33 years in Odessa. I currently teach Spanish and Religion classes in both the elementary and middle schools of Christ the KIng Diocesan School. I believe in ongoing Faith Formation whether in a formal setting like Loyola University (blessed to study for 2 years through an extension program) or through informal groups like Arise, Gathering, Cursillo Movement or Christ Life programs. Because my four young adult children and 7 grandchildren do not live in Lubbock, I am able to devote my time in serving both my husband, Gilbert and Christ the King Cathedral which have welcomed me since my arrival 3 years ago.
