Country Directors

Since July 2015, when we met Compass, we gave ourselves to the Lord and Owner of everything and supported by a beautiful team of human beings, with whom we love and serve our Catholic Church, we have been able to create groups in Medellín, Rionegro and 9 towns in eastern Antioquia, as well as in Bogotá, Santa Marta, Montelíbano, Palmira and Cali. by the hand of the Blessed Virgin and the Community of the Daughters and Sons of Fiat, thanks to the invaluable support of its founder, Mother Alicia Echeverri Calle.

​

We attest to the great blessings that the Lord has brought to our home and we want many homes in the world to know Compass, because it is the lifestyle that God wants for his children, as confirmed by the testimonies of students, facilitators and coordinators of the Church, constituting the engine that drives us to continue in this great ministry and to say to the Lord with the Fiat Community:

​

"My God, we are nothing, You are everything, we abandon ourselves to You.

​My God, we can't, You can, we abandon ourselves to You.
