Gongora house

This House has been named after the following member of the community:
SISTER MARGARET GONGORA

Sister Margaret Gongora was born on July 19, 1938 in Orange Walk Town. She attended La Inmaculada Roman Catholic School from 1942 to 1949. She then pursued further studies in the United States, earning a B.A. in Education at St. Joseph College in Hartford, Connecticut and completing one year of religious studies in Detroit, Michigan. As part of her preparation to become a Pallotine nun, Sister Margaret did one year of spiritual studies in Rome. As a youth, she was a member of a young girls’ group called “Solidaridad de Santa Inez.” Their purpose was to emulate the life of Santa Inez whom they regarded as a role model. Sister has been a religious teacher for most of her professional life in places such as Cayo, Punta Gorda, and Belize City. In 1986, she joined the faculty of Muffles High School where she taught for fifteen years and where she was very active in the corporal works of mercy through the Mercy Club. In 2001, she was the 12 recipient of the High School Teacher of the Year Award for the Orange Walk District. She presently teaches Theology courses on a part-time basis at Muffles Junior College. Sister Margaret spends a lot of time visiting the sick, the elderly, the homeless, and the imprisoned. She also assists with the distribution of Communion at Masses and gets involved in liturgical planning. Recently, she has been actively involved in identifying elderly people who, for some reason or the other, have not received their sacraments. Sister Margaret has devoted most of her life to God. She states that she will continue to gladly serve her community as long as her Creator permits her. As a guiding thought, Sister states that a man must nurture his body and take care of it because it is in the image and likeness of God. The body should not be harmed with elements like drugs and alcohol. To live fully, one must put God at the centre of his/her life and then reach out to help fellow brothers and sisters.
