Arturo Chavez Named to White House Advisory Council

Arturo Chavez, Ph.D., President and CEO of the Mexican American Catholic College in San Antonio, Texas, has been named to the new White House Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. "This will be an opportunity to bring Catholic values and perspectives to the new administration's plans to partner with faith communities on urgent, social concerns," said Dr. Chavez. "I ask for your prayers as I step out in faith."

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships will work on behalf of Americans committed to improving their communities, no matter their religious or political beliefs. It will be a resource for non-profit and community organizations, both secular and faith based, looking for ways to make a bigger impact in their communities.
