FCCB Welcomes New Outreach Coordinator

We are pleased to announce that Alejandro (Alex) Capote has joined the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops as outreach coordinator. Alex will focus on furthering the mission of the FCCB by connecting, educating, and mobilizing Florida’s Catholic community on public policy issues pertaining to life, dignity, and the common good. He will serve as a representative of the Florida bishops' conference at conventions, meetings, and events throughout the state. Alex will assist Michele Taylor, associate director of communications, with coordination and growth of the Florida Catholic Advocacy Network (FLCAN) and the Campus Ministry Liaison Program.
 
A native of Cuba, Alex immigrated to the U.S. at the age of six and, as an adult, became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was the first member of his family to graduate from college, earning a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Florida State University where he was actively involved with the Catholic Student Union. His passion for mercy and justice led him into missionary work promoting a culture of life and empowering and equipping the next generation of leaders. Alejandro also brings to his new role experience with building coalitions and organizing grassroots communities to engage policymakers.
 
Parishes or ministries that want to host a presentation on the mission and work of the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops and the duty of Catholic faithful to participate in political life, can contact Alex at: acapote@flaccb.org.
