Raised in the Roman Catholic Church by my grandmother, I appreciate the meaning of tradition. Nevertheless, my adult experience living in the Bronx and working in New York City instilled in me a respect for all walks of life who want to bless their union and follow a sacred path. As an ordained minister of the non-denominational Universal Life Church, I can officiate at weddings, perform baptisms, and bless homes, people, and animals; I will guide families who have suffered loss with assistance with the eulogy, prayers, and scripture readings. With the utmost consideration, I will work with you to create the ceremony you envision, and go to your location for the rehearsal and/or the event. I welcome the ideas and input of couples, parents, and loved ones to make the ceremony as personalized and meaningful as possible. I believe in everyone living their truth without judgment. Being bilingual (of Puerto Rican heritage) has allowed me to expand my offerings in English, Spanish, or both. As the mother of an adult with Autism and a professional trained in assisting developmentally and intellectually delayed individuals, I have endless patience and understanding with differently-abled persons.

Criada en la Iglesia Católica por mi abuela, entiendo el significado de la tradición. Sin embargo, mi experiencia adulta viviendo en el Bronx y trabajando en la ciudad de Nueva York me inculcó un respeto por todas las personas que desean seguir un camino de bendición. Como ministra ordenada de la Iglesia de la Vida Universal, puedo oficiar bodas, realizar bautizos y bendecir personas y animales. Con el mayor respeto, trabajaré con usted para crear la ceremonia que imagina. Iré a su ubicación* para el ensayo y/o el evento. Agradezco las ideas y aportaciones de parejas, padres y seres queridos para que la ceremonia sea lo más personalizada y significativa posible. Creo en que cada persona viva su verdad sin juicios. Ser bilingüe (de ascendencia puertorriqueña) me ha permitido ampliar mi oferta en inglés, español o ambos. Como madre de un adulto con autismo, tengo una paciencia y comprensión infinitas con las personas con capacidades diferentes.

I am thrilled to collaborate with you on the ceremony you envision. Like Minister Desiree, I network frequently within the Orange County, NY Autism community.
