Sister Elizabeth Marisol Cruz Perez

Hi! I am Elizabeth Marisol Cruz Pérez, originally from Monte Santa Cruz, Department of Cuzcatlán, El Salvador, Central America.

I am the daughter of Juana Pérez and Florencio Cruz, the eldest of six children, four girls and two boys.

My primary studies were done at the town “Monte San Juan” and my high school at Cojutepeque. I received the certificate of Secretary in 1994.

The first Sister of Charity of the Incarnate Word I met was Sr. Juana Margarita. She invited me to participate in vocational sharing and to an experience as a student at COAR. I only stayed for one year and then returned home. During this time, I dedicated myself to study and work, always participating in the Church. However, the question remained with me: What do I desire to do with my life? I was always looking for the road that would bring me happiness in what will be my call.

In 1999, feeling the presence of God and attracted to Religious Life, I decided to begin the process of Affiliate and enter the Formation Program. In 2000 I became a Postulant and I have been in the Novitiate in 2001-2002.

During the process of discernment in Initial Formation, and through my community and apostolic experience, I learned about the charism and the spirituality of the Congregation; aware of the commitment as a daughter of God and as an advocate to those most powerless. On January 25, 2003, I reaffirmed my baptism, this time with conviction and maturity, pronouncing the Annual Vows of poverty, chastity and obedience that are a means to live as a CCVI and serve the people of God.
