Office of the Parochial Vicar
Mayor Lon Uso and Members of the City Council, San Juan Capistrano,
I am the Parochial Vicar, and acting pastor of the Mission Basilica of San Juan
Capistrano. I am writing this letter in support of CREER Comunidad y Familia and the
retention of their home base in the office located by Stonefield Park.
CREER held their initial meeting in 2005 at the Mission Pastor Center and we have
witnessed their growth and positive influence in the community of San Juan Capistrano.
Our mission and CREER's are aligned as we oftentimes give service to the same children
and families. CREER conducts after school programs and supports parent education with
our local Capistrano Unified School District. The CREER Youth serve as positive role
models to the younger children.
In addition, CREER serves hundreds of children through excellent sports, dancing and
musical programs all administered and run out of the city rented office.
We agree with your staff's recommendation to renew your support of this community
based group that has improved the quality of life for all the people of our City through
their continued use of the 284 sq foot office.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Rev. Armando Virrey
