Vicki Castillon Simon    

As a returned lay missioner, former staff member, co-leader of FAB trips and now on her 3rd term on the MKLM board, Vicki Simon has done all one can with the Maryknoll Lay Missioners.

Retired and living in St. Louis, MO, Vicki previously was the director of IVC St. Louis (Ignatian Volunteer Corps) and also was director of social ministry at St. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit parish in St. Louis. She served as a Maryknoll lay missioner in Kenya and was the Director of Mission Service in the Maryknoll Lay Missioners office in Ossining, New York.

Today, Vicki volunteers with the IVC as an Interpreter for Catholic Legal Ministries Association. She is an active parishioner at St. Francis Xavier Church where she participates in a Fair Trade Sister Parish ministry and Immigration Justice committee.  She also serves on the board of The Encuentro Project in El Paso.

Vicki loves gardening, nature, her two wonderful children and her granddaughter in college.

As a member of the Board, she’s hoping to see MKLM reach financial sustainability and 10 new lay missioners in the upcoming year.
