2022 Light of Pride Award

Guillermo Navarrete

Being a Social Pastor, the accompaniment of vulnerable people is a priority and essential. We discovered the understanding, in the multiple conversations, that the attention is not only on food or clothes … it must be Holistic, where the Body, the Soul and the Spirit are attended to. Pastor Guillermo works year-round at the US-Mexico Border Church and conducts the weekly binational service in Spanish on the Mexican side of the Border.

Guillermo is an advocate and champion for CASA DE LUZ, a collective house open to LBGTQ+ refugees who left their home country in search of a better life. Casa De Luz, provides a safe haven for people who fear persecution because of their sexual orientation.
