Clate W. Mask, Jr.

Clate Wheeler Mask Jr. was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints from 2003 to 2009. Mask was a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy and was the president of the Caribbean Area of the church from 2006 to 2009. Mask is also the first American general authority of Mexican descent in the churchs history.

Mask was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. Although his mother was a member of the LDS Church and his grandfather had been the first native Mexican to serve as a missionary for the church, Masks father was not a member of the church when Mask was young. However after returning from his time in the U.S. Army during World War II, the elder Clate Mask did join the church. Masks grandfather, Andres C. Gonzalez, had been a Spanish teacher in the Mormon Colonies in Mexico, while his maternal grandmother, Minnie Spencer, was the child of Mormon Anglos who had settled in the colonies.
