The role of Director of the SLMs was first occupied by a lay woman, Catherine Ramirez, in 1999. She served in this capacity until May 2002 having worked diligently to improve the communications between lay missioners working in foreign lands and the home office. Her newsletters helped former and present Lay Missioners stay connected with one another.
The SLM program falls under the auspices and direction of the Office of Youth Ministry with spiritual direction provided by the Delegate of Youth Ministry of the province.
