5 de febrero: Virgen de Suyapa

1/27/2023

 
El 5 de febrero, celebraremos a la Virgen de Suyapa, patrona de Honduras, en la Misa de las 12:30 PM. La estatua de la Virgen de Suyapa fue descubierta hacia 1747 por el campesino Alejandro Colindres, que fue enviado a trabajar en los maizales de las afueras de Tegucigalpa. Acabó tumbado sobre un objeto que no podía ver y lo tiró a un lado. Por la mañana, Colindres descubrió la estatuilla de la Virgen, que desde entonces se venera en Honduras. El Papa Pío XI la declaró patrona de Honduras en 1925.  

Después de la Misa del 5 de febrero habrá una recepción. Esperamos que nos acompañen.

February 5: Virgen de Suyapa 

On February 5, we will celebrate the Virgen de Suyapa, patroness of Honduras, at the 12:30 PM Mass. The Virgen of Suyapa statue was discovered around 1747 by the farm worker Alejandro Colindres, who was sent out to work in the cornfields outside Tegucigalpa. He ended up lying on an object he couldn’t see and threw it aside. In the morning, Colindres discovered the statuette of the Virgen, which has been venerated in Honduras ever since. She was declared the patroness of Honduras by Pope Pius XI in 1925.  

A reception will follow the Mass on February 5. We hope you can join us!

Adam and Eve, the Fall, and creating a world where it is easier to be good: Dorothy Day's response to original sin

Potluck Community Meal @ 6:00 PM
Discussion: 7:00 PM

In early December of 1932, a recent Catholic convert and journalist by the name of Dorothy Day was in Washington D.C. covering a hunger march for the Jesuit publication America Magazine. The Great Depression had left millions unemployed, and hunger and hopelessness was taking hold in the United States and beyond.

On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dorothy Day prayed at the newly constructed National Shrine for the Immaculate Conception that she would find a path, as a Catholic, of wedding charity with justice. The next day, back in New York, she met Peter Maurin with whom she would found the Catholic Worker newspaper.  Together they formed a Catholic movement responding to original sin and formed a program drawn from the Catholic Church’s social program for the poor.

Join us at Canterbury House as we discuss Dorothy Day’s response to original sin by reading her aims and purposes of the Catholic Worker Movement.  The short article we will be discussing was written in 1940. However, it could have been written just as easily in 2022. Join us as we explore how to create a world where it is easier to be good!
