Bishop Mario E. Dorsonville was ordained into the priesthood in 1985. He earned a doctorate in ministry in 1996 at The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. and served in various roles in the Archdiocese of Washington for 30 years. A beloved priest throughout the Archdiocese, Bishop served in multiple leadership roles, including executive director of the Spanish Catholic Center and later as an Auxiliary Bishop directing the Office of Cultural Diversity and Outreach. Bishop advocated for efforts to recognize and celebrate the gifts, richness, and importance of diversity within the Catholic community and was a steadfast champion for the engagement of immigrant and Hispanic families in the life of the Church, schools, and parishes. A dear friend to the Foundation, he was a trusted advisor in the launch of the Crimsonbridge Foundation's Education Imperative and Bridges for Schools programs. Bishop Dorsonville's contributions played a vital role in the success of these programs. In March 2023, Bishop Dorsonville was installed as the fifth bishop of Houma-Thibodeaux, Louisiana, where the Foundation now supports projects he spearheaded to increase the Spanish language communications capacity of the dioceses.

In honor of Bishop Dorsonville's commitment to serving the Catholic Church and immigrant communities, a gift in his memory has been made to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington's Spanish Catholic Center.
