Faith and music have always been intertwined for Isis Valero, 33, a native of Mexico who lives in Big Lake. Her parents met at a music school in Guadalajara. Later, they married and owned their own music school in Mazatlan. When they immigrated to Minnesota, the family settled at St. Henry in Monticello, which has a Spanish Mass, and helped with music. Now Valero, whose boyfriend is an opera singer, serves as music director at Our Lady of Guadalupe in St. Paul.
