Yesterday, Saturday June 15th, 2024, Margarita Romo was ordained as a Pastor in the Florida-Bahamas Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America by Bishop Pedro Suárez. The ceremony took place at Atonement Lutheran Church in Wesley Chapel. We are proud to celebrate this occasion!
After serving her Church and Community for over 50 years, Margarita has been called as a Pastor of Resurrection House Mission.
Founded in 1987 as an authorized worshiping community of the ELCA and incorporated in 2002, Rez House is dedicated to bringing God's word to the poorest of the poor in Tommytown on the north end of Dade City, Florida. They work hand in hand with the people of their community to help create better conditions for themselves. They proudly stand in the gap for these children and their families.
Grace's Social Ministry emphasis for each May is Resurrection “Rez" House, a migrant ministry supported by the ELCA and other churches in the west-central Florida region.
