Angie Hidalgo Torres

Full-Time Missionary

Angie was baptized as a baby and raised with the knowledge of God. When she was 13, she attended her first youth retreat and saw what it looked and felt like to live in the glory of the Lord. She heard many talks and testimonies that had an impact on her, from the young and old alike. The next year, 2019, she was already in charge of the youth group at her school. It was during that time that she went through formal catechesis and received her first Holy Communion and Confirmation in the Catholic Church.

When Angie graduated high school, she moved to the city to go to nursing school. During her time there, she became distant from the Lord and distracted by the things of the world. After three years, she recognized how empty her life had become since she had stopped putting Christ first in her life. One of her classmates, Melissa, had been a good example to her, and she started to live more as a Christian again, sharing what she had with others.

Angie returned home for a few months during a break from university. This became another opportunity that the Lord used to help her follow her calling to serve with a less hard heart. She took time to visit sick relatives and others in need, praying for healing and giving comfort when physical reach was not enough. She found a lot of encouragement from an old friend and decided to trust in God’s prompting to take her final year of nursing school off in order to dedicate time exclusively to serving the Lord through serving those in need.

Her primary ministries include visiting the sick and home bound and helping with the youth group.
