We want to ensure that this semester is only a start and Catholic Counseling at Our Lady of Wisdom can expand and be sustainable in the future. The Development Office announces the start of the Anna Maria Hernandez Endowment Fund for Catholic Counseling. We would like to thank the San Marcos Knights of Columbus for making the first gift into this fund.
Anna Maria was a Teacher/Counselor/Director of Counseling and many leadership roles in the Pecos School District from '77 to '99. A graduate of Sul Ross University in Alpine, she made a positive impact on students in West TX for many years. One indication of her impact is her daughter "following in her footsteps" as a Counselor and School Leader. San Marcos ISD was blessed with her arrival in '99 and she led the Counseling Department here in town for five more years until she retired.
Anna Maria started as a Catechist to teach her daughter's Kindergarten class and has continued as a Catechist for over 40 years teaching all levels. She has led countless Bible Studies, Baptism classes, Marriage prep classes, and Ethics and Integrity Workshops. Some would call her an expert in marriage, as her and her husband, Robert, just celebrated their 53rd year of marriage!
You are welcome to join me in honoring a Catholic Counseling Superstar by giving a one time gift on the give page.
