Richard Engler and Maria “Lupe” Ramirez were named affiliated members on September 24 during a school-wide Homecoming Mass at Cretin-Derham Hall. Engler has served as principal and then president of Cretin-Derham Hall for 25 years. He will retire at the end of this school year. Ramirez is a longtime cook and supporter of the Christian Brothers, having served most of her life in various communities in the Twin Cities. She recently retired as cook for the DeLaSalle Community in Minneapolis.
The affiliations of Engler and Ramirez also part of the Midwest District’s newest initiative, Lasallian Days, which are gatherings of the Lasallian family that take place around the District.
Affiliation is the highest honor bestowed by the De La Salle Christian Brothers. Those selected as affiliated members are people who, in recognition of their long-standing and exemplary association with the Brothers and their mission, are welcomed as honorary members of the Institute.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
