IPS has had so much success with the Hispanic Ministry<\/a> efforts of our Parish Leadership and Management Programs<\/a> that we are expanding our efforts. As part of the expansion, we have been fortunate enough to hire\u00a0Felipe Legarreta-Castillo, Ph.D. as the instructor for the Spanish language Bible Study program, which will add other parish ministry\u00a0sites to that currently operating at\u00a0the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Des Plaines.<\/p>\n

Legarreta-Castillo has been a student, adjunct faculty member and most recently, a chaplain at Loyola University Chicago. As he continues his work at Loyola IPS, we ask your help in welcoming him to our IPS family as a full time faculty member.<\/p>\n

Get to know a little more about him in the Q&A below.<\/p>\n

\"Felipe<\/a><\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong>\u00a0Chihuahua, Mexico<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?<\/strong> Sports: Triathlons, Basketball, Kayaking<\/p>\n

What is a fun fact about you?<\/strong>
\nWell, I have a pet, a bilingual non-German speaking German Shepherd called Apache who came from Mexico, and now has\u00a0an identity crisis.<\/p>\n

You know several languages (ancient and modern), which one has been the most difficult to learn?<\/strong>
\nGerman, I studied the language, but I still do not understand why it takes several pages to write one sentence. By the time I get to the next page, I forget what I read on the first page.<\/p>\n

*For those curious, he\u00a0knows: Biblical Hebrew and Greek, Ecclesiastical Latin, Spanish, English, Italian, French and German.<\/em><\/p>\n

What about Loyola\u00a0makes you want to continue to be a part of it?<\/strong>
\nIt is a Catholic Jesuit University\u00a0with the highest academic standards\u00a0seeking God in all things to the service of all, especially the underprivileged. AMDG!<\/p>\n

What are you looking forward to most about being the instructor for the Spanish Biblical Theology courses?
\n<\/strong>Transforming peoples and communities through the\u00a0reading, interpretation, proclamation and celebration of God\u2019s salvation as found in\u00a0the Scriptures in order to form\u00a0one Community, the children God.<\/p>\n

What previous education or experience has best prepared you for this role?<\/strong>
\nMy studies at Loyola and teaching Bible here in Chicagoland and before in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Do you have a mentor(s) or experience(s) in your life that helped shape who you are today?<\/strong>
\nGod\u2019s people, every community I have served and worked with. They have revealed to me God\u2019s love and compassion in a humble and pristine way.<\/p>\n

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment so far (personally or professionally)?<\/strong>
\nEvery accomplishment has been simply another step forward in my journey of service and love. Thus, we really never\u00a0\u201ccomplete\u201d loving and serving: it is a journey until we meet our Creator, our Father, then all will be accomplished in Christ.<\/p>\n
