In this episode of Joyful Seriousness, we are joined by Armando Diaz — or “Mondo” to those who know him well — a beloved colleague, mentor, and deeply thoughtful Lasallian educator. Reflecting on years spent teaching alongside one another at Christian Brothers High School, this conversation explores the kind of wisdom that often reveals itself most clearly in hindsight: steady, grounded, compassionate, and deeply committed to students and community.Mondo shares insights from his journey as an award-winning educator at both the high school and college levels, as well as his work mentoring and supporting Latino educators through the Alliance for Catholic Education LEAD program at University of Notre Dame. Together, the episode reflects on vocation, accompaniment, leadership, and the future of DEI in Catholic and Lasallian education.
