A talented musician and speaker, Santiago is actively involved in regional and national Hispanic ministry. He is also an excellent choice for workshops on music ministry and concerts.
"Saturday's workshop with Santiago Fernandez was wonderful! I found that Santiago was unique in his quality of presentation and in his flexibility. He quickly adapted to the circumstances and was very inclusive of all. I most especially appreciated that he grounded his entire presentation in the documents of the church."
-Tony Varas, Office of Liturgy, Archdiocese of Seattle
