My name is Juan Enrique Cruz, and I was born on August 2, 1997. I arrived in the Seminary on September 25, 2018. I am the eldest of 3 children and grew up in Waxahachie, Texas. My parents, Jose Martin and Laura, are originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, and my siblings, Alan Martin, and Nayeli were raised in Texas. The Neocatechumenal Way and my community have been an essential part of life and I am forever grateful to the Lord for giving me this tremendous gift. Through the Way, I have been able to see the Lord's presence through my sufferings and my joys. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing my guitar. I want to thank the benefactors and individuals who have helped the Seminary; you can count on my prayers!
