As you may have noticed, on the left side of our parish building there was a
"small" remodeling of our temple building. I used the word "small" in a sarcastic way because for our parish, a remodeling of this magnitude, cannot be small. As we have been announcing these past Sundays, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, decided to beatify Concepción Cabrera yesterday, May 4th. I have already written some articles and I have expressed how I feel about it. But I want to share with you the decree that the Holy Father has written regarding the beatification of Concepción Cabrera, and I do so because this parish is very deeply connected with the new Blessed.
