Deacon Carlos Rubio appointed Interim Director of UTEP Catholic Campus Ministry

Bishop Mark Seitz has appointed Deacon Carlos Rubio as the interim director of the University of Texas at El Paso Catholic Campus ministry.

Deacon Rubio, who has served the Diocese of El Paso since 2008 has worked in various parishes within the diocese over the last 14 years, most recently as one of 2 parish deacons at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in the Lower Valley of El Paso.

Fr. Benjamin Flores-Ruiz, Vicar General and moderator of the Curia, expressed his hope in Deacon Rubio being named the interim director of the UTEP Catholic Campus Ministry.

“We are very hopeful for Deacon Rubio to take over the role of interim director of the Catholic Campus Ministry,” Fr. Flores said. “Deacon Rubio is very excited to take on this new ministry and is very capable and familiar with the needs of the church as well as the needs of the young students he will minister to,” he added.

Deacon Rubio spoke to the need for students to be able to find a home away from home within the walls of the Catholic Campus Ministry.

“I hope the students can consider Catholic Campus ministry as a home away from their home parish,” Deacon Rubio said. “I hope they can become comfortable enough to express their Catholic faith with their fellow students throughout the school year. I will work hard to ensure that students will have a place where they can experience God’s presence and a place where they can work through their academic careers with our Catholic faith at the center of their lives,” he ended.

Deacon Rubio will take over as the interim director of Catholic Campus Ministry in mid-August.
