Mrs. Christine Lopez

Job Titles:
  • Office Manager / Auxiliary Staff Supervisor / Admissions Officer
Hi, my name is Christine Lopez. I am married and have two beautiful little girls. I feel very blessed to have been raised in a family with a deep rooted faith in the Catholic Church. When my husband and I decided to start a family, we agreed that we would make whatever sacrifices necessary to give our children the opportunity to grow in the faith. They both currently attend Santo Nino and we couldn't be happier with the level of learning they are receiving. Even more so, they are expected to practice the good morals and values we work so hard to instill in them at home.

Mrs. Evelyn Rivera

Hi, let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Evelyn Torrez-Rivera. I was raised in the small community of San Rafael, NM. Throughout my childhood my parents instilled in me strong catholic values. We are a family of twelve, eight brothers and three sisters. My strong catholic values have been passed on to my son and reinforced by my husband, Ted who also was brought up in the catholic faith. While growing up, I was always fascinated by subjects like science, social studies and reading.
