Carnival Thank You!
Carnival 2013 Thank You …
This year’s Carnival was a success due to the efforts of our parishioners, who never gave up when the rains keep coming. After having a drizzly Thursday and a total rainout on Friday it seemed we would never recover. However, due to the quick thinking of our committee, and the untiring efforts of our parishioners, we had a record breaking Saturday. We opened completely at 1:00pm and closed at 5:00pm and restarted after Mass at 6:30, and it never stopped. The crowds of people keep coming and our volunteers did a fantastic job. While the children were enjoying the rides and the games, there were long lines at the food booth and inside in the auditorium. What team work, our Lord was watching over us and everything finally worked out.
Welcoming Message from Deacon Duberley
Dear Friends,
When my Pastor, Fr. Dominic asked me to write something about myself, I immediately tried to dissuade him, but unfortunately either my escapist arguments and my bad English could not save me of doing his request, anyway, in accomplishing that request I am doing my first act of obedience as a deacon.
I just want to share with you a little bit about my vocational life.
I am Duberley Salazar; I was born in Manizales – Caldas, Colombia. I grew up in the bosom of a traditional, conservative and religious family. They inculcated special values in me such as: humility, obedience, respect, industriousness, and fidelity. I am the second oldest among my siblings.
