Matt,

Recently, the Office of Apologetics and Evangelization was eliminated by the Diocese of Winona, we are using the parish based Evangelization process by Symbolon of St. Thomas Aquinas Institute this coming year and into the following year.

As a result, Raymond de Souza is no longer employed at the Diocese of Winona Pastoral Center. Raymond has been a wonderful colleague and gentleman during his nearly three years as Director of Apologetics and Evangelization. We wish him well as he pursues other opportunities. If desired, Mr. de Souza can be reached via e-mail at: SacredHeartInstitute@outlook.com.

Thank you for your inquiry.
