Saint Simon's Episcopal Church

Lourdes Aboud graduated from the University of Miami, married her college sweetheart Al, and taught public elementary school for a few years. After the birth of their son, Joseph, a job opportunity for Al required multiple interstate moves, which was viewed as an adventure; Lourdes provided a supporting role and served as homemaker, caring for their son while he attended private and public schools. She also was a Creative Memories Consultant, taught Spanish, and volunteered in the schools, church, and community. Her time managing her church thrift shop awoke in her a joy for facilitating community while encouraging the rehoming and repurposing of goods. Lourdes is happy to use her joy in bringing together community in her new position as one of two Jr. Wardens at St. Simon’s Episcopal Church. 

Lourdes’ interests include art, music, writing, reading, and communing with nature and animals. Lourdes and her husband Al live in Miami but find ways to get together with their son, Joe, and their son-in-law McMillen, both living in Brooklyn.
