Melia Chittenden - summer Intern 2020
My name is Melia Chittenden and I am a rising senior at Princeton University studying Public & International Affairs, with a focus on Arab culture/history and immigration. I had the pleasure of interning for Catholic Charities, NM during the summer of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to cancel my original plans to intern abroad. Thankfully, I was able to help Catholic Charities with communications, outreach, promotion of the 2020 Census, and volunteer activities.
My experience with Catholic Charities was very unique due to the limitations of COVID-19, but I learned a lot and loved that I was able to help during this especially difficult time. One of my favorite projects this summer was working on increasing participation in the 2020 Census among hard-to-count populations. Carolina, Daniel, and I worked on finding small local businesses in hard-to-count communities and partnered with them to provide $10 gift cards to the first 50 customers who showed that they had filled out the Census. I enjoyed visiting these businesses myself and interviewing the employees to create promotional videos for social media. I also really enjoyed working at the In-Kind Donation Center with Kathy Freeze collecting backpacks and school supplies from generous donors to distribute to refugee families and their children. When I was not working, I absolutely loved exploring Albuquerque and New Mexico. After self-quarantining and testing negative for COVID-19, I was able to go for runs along the beautiful Bosque, hike the gorgeous Sandia trails and Petroglyph National Monument, watch drive-in movies at the Balloon Fiesta Park, and explore the rest of the city. On weekends, I drove down to White Sands National Park and up to Santa Fe and Taos. Growing up in Los Angeles, I never imagined the myriad of landscapes and excursions that New Mexico has to offer. Just like its residents, this state is an incredible mosaic of diverse experiences. Thank you so much to Catholic Charities for this amazing opportunity, I look forward to continuing to work with the organization (remotely) throughout the fall! |
Sandra Stewart - volunteer and St. Nicholas virtual gala chair
When I retired a couple of years ago, i wanted to find a volunteer “home.” I could have given time here and there but wanted to get to know an organization and hoped to have an impact. Well, I got that and more! Catholic Charities was much in the news at the time because of the many asylum seekers looking for respite in our country. Their companions on the journey program piqued my interest, but I knew that they had a lot of wonderful volunteers stepping up to help. My skill set was more in administrative support, so I filled out an application online and pressed send. Within ten minutes my phone rang, and I was asked how soon I could come in for an interview! And thus, my own journey began. I worked a bit with senior transportation and housing, but then found myself a scanning queen in human resources. I spent some time there and, in the process, learned the names of all the employees. It was always fun to finally meet the people behind the names! Somehow, I began helping in the development department and that became my home base. I actually did a short stint as a part-time employee! I started learning more about the programs of Catholic Charities and was really impressed with their breadth of services to the community. Although I am missing my “people” during this time of Covid, I have found myself staying involved by being on a few committees. I get to see folks on zoom calls and stay informed with all that Catholic Charities continues to do in these challenging times. Still have my “home!”
robert wilson - senior transportation volunteer
I drive in the Senior Transportation program for Catholic Charities in Albuquerque, NM, and have done so for 7 years or so. It is very rewarding to know that if not for me accepting a CC assignment, one of our elders may have to cancel a doctor’s appointment or not be able to get their medical prescriptions or food that week.
Besides the warm glow that I feel when helping, I also get to meet and chat with a variety of people, hear their life stories – past and present – and tell them my own. It’s amazing how often I find that we have things in common; places we’ve lived or visited, what we like about Albuquerque and New Mexico – or what we don’t like, our medical histories (although that conversation can go on forever!), our families, and more….. So, when I drove Lucy Charles (not her real name) recently, for the 3rd time, the conversation inevitably came around to where we grew up and went to school. She told me that she grew up in New York State, and I replied that I did as well, and asked her what town. Lucy replied that it was just a small town, down state, about 30 miles north of NYC, and that she was sure I hadn’t heard of it. When she said Shrub Oak, I nearly ran the car off the road! That was where I went to high school as well! We both laughed in amazement, but then I had to ask what year she graduated, and wouldn’t you know, we were in the same class! “Lucy” told me her unmarried name, but with a graduating class of over 300, it was not surprising that I didn’t really remember her. Nevertheless, we were able to swap stories about our school, our teachers, and our classmates and our town, for some time after that. I have decided to continue to drive for Catholic Charities during the coronavirus pandemic, using social distancing guidelines, masks, and thorough cleaning of surfaces, and I hope to be able to continue to do so. It is an extremely rewarding part of my life in retirement. Robert Wilson |
Elizabeth Ziers - asylum seeker effort volunteer
I'm not Catholic. I'm not even religious. But it was with awe and wonder that I watched Catholic Charities swing into action last spring to help migrants new to this country. I was but a tiny cog in a well-oiled machine. Migrants were being dumped in the streets of El Paso by ICE. So Catholic Charities stepped up to help them get to their destination. I was very busy because there were so many families who needed help, but sometimes I just had to step back and watch as so many volunteers filled their roles with such proficiency. From the moment the migrants stepped off the bus, they were attended to by volunteers providing them with a hot meal, clean clothes, a sparse but clean room, medical aid, language interpretation, and most importantly, communication with friends/family in distant cities. As the numbers of new arrivals increased, Catholic Charities increased their aid even as they reached out to other community services and charities to pitch in. The aid came to a rapid halt due to ICE effectively tearing up the U.S. policy of asylum. I'm glad I volunteered when I did and met so many selfless Burquenos.
CHRIS SPAHN - Refugee support and asylum seeker effort volunteer
In 2016 I applied to be a Catholic Charities volunteer after retiring from a seventeen year ministry as a pastoral associate at a local parish. I wanted to do hands-on, non-administrative work and that's what I was assigned: taking refugees to the post office, doctor's and pharmacy, registering children for school, and familiarizing folks with the ABQ bus system, libraries, and laundromats. Because of the language challenges of assisting people from many different countries, I sometimes had to be inventive, but so were they, and it was a joy to aid people whose courage and resilience were so evident. Later I organized a team to work with a recently arrived Muslim family of six from Iraq. We visited at least once a week and responded to the needs and concerns voiced by family members. They learned from us and we learned from them! During the Companions on the Journey effort, I was a co-coordinator of the Hospitality Team. It was sometimes exhausting work, but team members served so generously that we were buoyed up by each other. And it was a privilege to offer a welcoming smile and all the comforts we could give to people who had suffered so much. These days, I'm doing clerical work, filing, data entering, etc. -- sometimes a little tedious but extremely necessary. It's a way to support the many wonderful works of Catholic Charities, and I'm most grateful.

Carolina Romero - programmatic outreach liasion
It all started with a friend calling me to ask if I could volunteer for the asylum seeker effort. Catholic Charities was looking for Portuguese speakers to assist the Brazilians that were arriving in the buses that ICE was dropping off in Albuquerque in February 2019. By the arrival of third bus, I was already working part time to help coordinate the effort that welcomed over 1,100 adults and children to our country. It was amazing to see how the City of Albuquerque opened their arms to so many people arriving hungry, scared and tired from their long journey to request asylum in the US. Over 500 families that pass through our city but only two stayed in New Mexico. The other families traveled by bus or by plane to meet their loved ones. During their 2-5 day stay in our city, over 300 volunteers assisted with medical assistance, in-take and flight and bus reservations, supplies, clothes, warm food and big smiles. Once the effort ended, I continued as a full time employee as programmatic outreach liaison to increase the collaboration with other organizations and to improve our services to the community. This journey continues with different needs as I am assisting Catholic Charities with additional tasks in communications, website design, translation and other needs but the goal remains the same: to improve the way we serve and build community. -- Carolina Romero

Elena Turrietta-Oates - Receptionist
MANTRA?
He walked in, a quiet, very polite, stately but visibly heavily burdened young man – perhaps late twenties to early thirties. As receptionist, I welcomed him as any other Refugee arriving at Catholic Charities (CC) for the first time, expecting he would be very friendly, like his parents. His parents had arrived earlier, and they were generally somewhat serious but very engaging, gracious and generous. He simply nodded and responded w/a sad smile. Somewhat puzzled, I contacted his case manager who responded she would come to the lobby shortly. Reliably the case assistant showed up and began with a lively greeting, anticipating she would lead him to her office to attend to the purpose of his appointment. I do not recall precisely what the triggering word was, but suddenly, without warning, he began sobbing inconsolably. Providentially no one else was in the lobby. There was no time to head to her office, and she began immediately to quietly, gently calm him, repeating, “Dios nunca se equivoca; Dios nunca se equivoca.” Almost unable to get words out because of non-stop sobs, he explained how, through quite a few errors by authorities along the way, he had mistakenly ended up at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. Uncomfortable and embarrassed to give many details, he disclosed some of the torture and horrific treatment he and fellow prisoners had endured. I kept trying to choke back my own sobbing. He revealed the only thing that had saved him was holding on to his rosary, prayer and praying the rosary every night. Eventually, as the case manager kept repeating, “Dios nunca se equivoca” he was able to compose himself, and he and his case assistant proceeded to her office to begin a plan for acclimation and healing. Time went by, his case manager had completed her assigned time with him, had relocated to another state, and he rarely came to the office. When he did stop at the office I could see the gradual, steady progress as his life showed more and more signs of normalcy, and eventually he moved out of state. Some years later, I happened to come to CC (now at the Bridge location) on a Saturday afternoon, had unloaded what needed to be brought to the office, and my husband and I were heading to our car. Some of our teachers were holding classes, and a gentleman was cooking delicious food on a grill outdoors. The client was in Albuquerque, visiting his parents, and was driving by, could see several cars in our parking lot so unexpectedly drove in. He practically ran to get closer to me to give me a warm, grateful hug. He had a firm, lively handshake for my husband and excitedly introduced us to a lovely, young woman, his wife. They appeared so very happy! As they approached their car to leave, he turned, smiled (a great, free, wholesome smile now) and called back to us, “Dios nunca se equivoca!!” Dios nunca se equivoca - God never errs! |
Kiley yuthas - executive assistant
When I first started volunteering for Catholic Charities of Oregon, I didn't imagine that I would end up as an employee at Catholic Charities of New Mexico!
My first experience with Catholic Charities began in college, where in my freshman year I attended a presentation from an employee in Oregon who oversaw their refugee welcome program. She told us about how she and her team welcomed new arrivals at the airport, brought them to their newly set up apartment, and welcomed them with their favorite meal and a bottle of water. She and her team would help then support families in identifying their resources and adapting to life in a new county. I knew after hearing her talk that I wanted to volunteer with her organization. My placement was in Kateri Park, a community of recent arrivals to Portland. Every week, I got to hang out with a room full of kids and do crafts for a few hours; we had so much fun being creative and silly with all kinds of art supplies. Thanks to the amazing guidance and support of the team of volunteers and Catholic Charities employees, we were able to foster a welcoming community that encouraged fun, collaboration, and creativity. I looked forward every week to coming back to hang out with my friends at Kateri Park! I moved to other opportunities after a while, but never forgot the way that CC of Oregon was able to empower and honor the diverse experiences of recent arrivals, and consistently create a fun and welcoming environment for kids of all backgrounds. Memories of having fun at Kateri Park encouraged me to apply for a job at Catholic Charities when I moved to Albuquerque 5 years later. I was lucky enough to get the job, and have been welcomed with the same spirit of community and fun that I loved at Catholic Charities back home! |
Andy najar - case manager
About ten years ago I got a new family to work with. A single mother and three children.
The oldest was Cailon; he was eight years old. I did the intake with his mother. I could tell he was so excited about having his own room. He said I’m going to watch TV, play X box, and have a bowl with some gold fish in it. Two days later the family came back and Cailon had mapped out his new room and future. He drew a new pillow and blanket he lying on his new bed. He drew a window so he could look out into his new neighborhood he and family will be living in. Cailon also wanted a big dresser for his clothes.I was nice to see the plan Cailon had for himself and the hope he had for his future. That is what Catholic Charities has been doing for 75 years. Building Hope for the Future in our Community. And making dreams come true for families. |
Elisabeth loya - donor relations manager
I was raised in Las Cruces by my mom, who grew up in Santa Fe. Her parents were from northern New Mexico, but settled in Santa Fe after marrying. They raised four children in the Catholic faith, and all four are still practicing Catholics. Faith was very strong in their family, as it continues to be. Their lives were devoted to prayer; both the quiet contemplative prayer that most people think of, as well as the active prayer of service to others. As I grew up around my mom, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, learning about Catholic social teachings wasn’t a topic of conversation, it was a way of life. Always giving, always serving, the adults closest to me embodied the same values as Catholic Charities: Faith, Love, Caring, Integrity, Inclusivity, Collaboration, and Respect.
The years came and went, and after going through school and starting my career, I found myself living in Bernalillo and commuting to Santa Fe with my husband. During that time, my grandfather passed away peacefully in the Santa Fe home where I’d shared so many memories with him and the rest of my family. Not long after that, the time came to look for a new job, and I saw an opportunity at Catholic Charities. It wasn’t until I had accepted the job that I learned about my grandfather’s support of the organization years before. Given the similarities between my grandfather’s beliefs and the organizational values it shouldn’t have been a surprise, but he was so active in so many aspects of Catholic life, it was hard to keep track of which clubs and businesses he had a connection with. Though he didn’t get to see me work here, finding out about that connection made me feel like I had one more thread between his life and mine; one more connection in an already close relationship. Not long after I started at Catholic Charities, I was proud to announce that I was pregnant with my first child. Through those months of pregnancy, my work family was just as supportive as my relatives, and just as happy for me when I finally gave birth to a son. My husband and I named him after my grandfather. Now, my son attends the Children’s Learning Center and loves it there. I don’t believe it’s coincidence that years after my grandfather supported Catholic Charities, his granddaughter and great-grandson are thriving because people like him saw the good work that Catholic Charities did and continues to do. Though the organization has changed a lot in its 75 years, the values have stayed the same. And for us, a connection that spans four generations has a common thread in Catholic Charities. |
Dolores Nunez - Chief Administrative Officer
I began volunteering at Catholic Charities at the suggestion of a friend and board member, Lori Muller, after ending a long career in banking.
From the first moment I entered the buildings of Catholic Charities nearly five years ago, I knew I belonged here. There was this spirit of giving that permeated throughout each room I entered and from each person I met. The desire to help the most vulnerable in our community was being lived out in action. Four months later, a position in the Development Office opened and I moved from volunteer to employee. Working in the Development Office and as Chief Administrative Officer has allowed me to be a part of the work that happens at Catholic Charities because of the AMAZING STAFF that works here and the volunteers and donors who support our work! Soon I will "retire" from Catholic Charities and begin a new chapter in my life, but I will forever be touched by the work, the people and especially by those we serve. It is a blessing to be a part of the Catholic Charities community. |
Lena Ernst - Retreat Healthcare
|
Dr. Lena Ernst and Retreat Healthcare have worked with Catholic Charities for several years in order to foster community connection and mutual support. About a decade ago, Dr. Ernst began talking with Catholic Charities about providing recently resettled immigrants and refugees with employment opportunities at Retreat Healthcare. Since then, Retreat Healthcare has employed several immigrants and refugees. Catholic Charities assisted in the employment process, helping immigrants and refugees to obtain background checks, medical checks, and the credentials needed to work at Retreat Healthcare.
Some refugees and immigrants arrived in the United States with a medical background and worked with Retreat Healthcare, honing their medical abilities and improving their language skills while studying to obtain a U.S. medical license. Others have stayed at Retreat Healthcare for several years, providing invaluable care and expertise. Retreat Healthcare has also hired recently resettled immigrants and refugees to work in dietary areas, housekeeping, and environmental services. These occupations also provided immigrant and refugee employees with an opportunity to build their resume in healthcare, improve their English language capabilities, and find support in a safe community. Additionally, they provide patients at Retreat Healthcare with quality care and aid. In Dr. Ernst’s words, the immigrants and refugees who have worked for Retreat Healthcare have been “eager, hardworking, and committed to making their employment a successful part of their life." |
Click Here to Read a Message from CEO Jim Gannon Regarding Racial Justice
Many of us are hurt, shocked, and outraged by the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and Breonna Taylor. These are just recent names on a list that is far too long. These tragedies have brought the fears and injustices that Black Americans have faced every day for generations to the attention of the nation and the entire world.
There is a critical need for us all to confront racism and inequality. We must come together to build a deeper understanding of issues around social justice and equity for all. Yes, we must speak up and pray, but our words and petitions for change must also be energized into action to not just challenge but extinguish the beliefs, motivations, and actions that dehumanize others.
Catholic Charities will be a positive participant in addressing these issues whether internal or external to our organization. We will not wear blinders in our community and we will call out instances of oppression and racism that confront us directly or indirectly. We desire to be a seed of social justice from which compassion, equity, and peace can grow.
