places in Latino Countries, especially in Mexico.

Nuestra Conferencia de

San Vicente de de Paul Nuestra Conferencia de SVdP quiere agradecer

muchísimo a todos en la parroquia que

contribuyeron al “Arbol de Regalos” este año.

Pudimos llevar el espíritu de Navidad a muchas

familias.

Pastorela en Bowling Green La pastorela es una dramatización acerca del

Nacimiento de Jesús en Belén. Fue usado por los

misioneros en América Latina en tiempos de la

colonización para comunicar el mensaje de Navidad

a los nativos. Es una tradición que se ha mantenido

en muchos lugares en los países Latinos,

especialmente en México. Continúa siendo una

forma efectiva de comunicar el Nacimiento del

Salvador y comunicar su amor entre nosotros. Este

Año Nuevo, primero de enero, tenemos nuestra

pastorela en el salón parroquial, después de la misa

de 12:30 pm. Usted está invitado a disfrutar de la

obra, villancicos, café y pan. Venga a compartir la

alegría de la Navidad.

RIFA

El grupo Carismático de nuestra parroquia está

realizando la venta de boletos para una Rifa el
