Kenmore) on February 16 for a roundtable discussion on the journey of Lent. Ash Wednesday is right around the corner, so we hope you can join us! Potluck dinner at 6 PM, discussion at 6:45 PM.  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! En la Misa de las 12:30 PM. Recepción después de la Misa.
