The archdiocese also recognized several Catholic school educators for their contribution to accompanying students in Christian service. Among them was our own Caroline Schmeisser, a faculty member at Don Bosco Technical Institute. Also honored were two of our alumni, Moon Cordero, from St. John Bosco High School Class of 1997, who currently serves as the campus minister at St. Anthony High School in Long Beach, and Diego Mora, from Don Bosco Technical Institute the Class of 1999, who serves as a counselor at Damien High School in La Verne.
Congratulations to these young men and these Salesian educators. They serve as examples of Don Bosco’s vision of “Good Christians and Honest Citizens.”
