La comunidad guatemalteca de nuestra parroquia María, Madre de Dios celebró el Cristo Negro de Esquipulas el domingo 16 de enero. El Cristo Negro es una imagen de madera oscurecida de Cristo consagrada en la Catedral Basílica de Esquipulas en Guatemala. A la imagen se le atribuyen numerosos milagros, y la Basílica de Esquipulas es el segundo lugar religioso más importante de América, después de la Virgen de Guadalupe.
Señor Jesús Crucificado, ¡ten piedad de nosotros! We are happy to announce that Mark Franzen has been named the founding director of the Cultural Center at St. Gregory the Great.
Mark is currently the Senior Program Coordinator of Lumen Christi Institute and a parishioner at St. Gregory.

The altar, with relics of St. Ita, St. Thomas of Canterbury, St. Gregory the Great and Franciscan saints, was reconsecrated by Bishop Bartosic.
May the intercession of Mary, Mother of God and our mother, guide us as a parish and help us spread the word of God to our neighbors and friends! |
