As both the Pastor for Pastoral Ministries and Administration and Pastor for Mobilization and Global Impact positions remain vacant at Calvary, I have asked Mario Cesar Samaniego to join our staff. Mario will be serving as Interim Associate Pastor for Pastoral Ministries. In this part-time role, Mario will be helping me with pastoral care matters such as hospital visitation, deacon support, and some pastoral counseling.
Mario is an ordained minister who has been a part of Calvary since 2008. Mario has been working as a hospice chaplain in the area for over a year. He currently works part-time as chaplain and bereavement/volunteer coordinator for Only Love Hospice in McAllen.
Mario graduated from the Baptist University of the Americas in San Antonio with a degree in Theological & Biblical Studies/Pastoral Ministry. He also obtained a Master of Arts in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and is currently doing leveling work in order to pursue a doctoral degree.
I am grateful for Mario's availability and for his desire to serve our people as we provide pastoral care alongside our Bible Fellowships, deacons and other pastoral staff.
