Mrs. Gallegos’ first trip to Christ the King Church was on Divine Mercy Sunday in April 1999. She felt such a welcoming spirit and was so taken by the beautiful stained-glass windows in the church that she immediately felt at home and pursued a job opening as a middle school teacher. Before working at CK, Mrs. G. attended the University of Northern Colorado where she graduated cum laude. Following graduation, she worked in marketing before returning to UNC to pursue a teaching license. Mrs. Gallegos shares a home in Frederick with her husband, one of their daughters, her son-in-law, and their four children. When school is out, Mr. and Mrs. G love to spend time visiting with their other three daughters and their families.

Mrs. G has taken the mission of spreading the word about Jesus’ love and forgiveness – His divine Mercy – to heart as she works with CK “tween-agers.”

Fun Facts:

• Mrs. G’s role model is Sister Sheila, a now-retired Christ the King teacher, who took Mrs. G under her wing and told her, “Stop being such a cupcake! Tough love, people.”

• Mrs. Gallegos lived in the Dominican Republic in third grade while her parents volunteered in the Peace Corps.
