Our Lady of Guadalupe in Alice holds ministries conference

Some 200 parishioners attended the Second Annual Ministries Day Conference at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Alice on Sunday, April 19. Rosie Rodriguez, Director of the Office of Development for the Diocese of Brownsville, made a presentation on "Stewardship, Obedience and Discipleship" based on the book of Exodus.

"When we held our first Ministries Day Conference, Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish had 12 ministries. Currently our ministries have grown to 24 in number," Pastor Father Julian Cabrera said. "The parish’s New Visions Ministry assures the continued growth of our ministries allowing parishioners to create new ministries and form disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth."

The parish was busy getting ready for the event weeks before, planning and calling disciples to organize booths, music and food.
