Welcome Father Estrada!

Please welcome our new Mission Director, Father Guillermo Estrada Jacquez, S.J.

Fr. Estrada is 45 years old, originally from Chihuahua. Before entering the Jesuit Order
he studied Industrial Engineering. He entered the Jesuits in 1991, and has an
undergraduate degree now in Social Philosophy and also in Religious Sciences. He
was ordained a priest in 2004, and from there went to Oaxaca to help kick off a very
impressive educational project for different groups of Indians in that State. This
project, largely due to the fine work of Guillermo, is now an Intercultural University
that attends to various indigenous groups in the region and in the southern part of
Mexico. He worked there as a teacher and Director.

Guillermo is a member of the Higher Education Council for the Mexican Province of
Jesuits and has collaborated with a research project for Latin America related to
higher education for Latin America, the Caribbean, IESALC and the UNESCO.

He recently finished his Tertianship in Habana, Cuba, as the final step in his formation
process as a Jesuit.
Fr. Guillermo Estrada will begin his job as Director in Creel on May 3rd, 2012. He will be
working closely with Fr. David Ungerleider, S.J. Together, along with all of you, we will
continue to give life to Fr. Verplamcken's dream and the commitment so many of you
have made over the years.
