Deacon Enedino Aquino retires after 28 years of Hispanic Ministry service

Deacon Enedino Aquino is retiring from the Hispanic Ministry of the Diocese of Charlotte after 28 years of service. During his tenure, he worked within the vicariates of Winston-Salem and Greensboro to serve the Hispanic community.

Sister Joan Pearson, who worked with the deacon for more than two decades, noted his dedication to reaching immigrants. She recalled traveling with him to Forsyth County in his early years to distribute Bibles and holy water to men working in construction and landscaping. Sister Joan said these visits allowed the ministry to reach people where they lived and served as opportunities for evangelization.
