Elena y Roberto Medina han sido feligreses de la Parroquia de La Sagrada Familia, (situada al oeste de Corpus Christi) desde hace 55 años. Y por la mayor parte de esos años, Elena ha sido  fiel miembro de las Guadalupanas. Un día, Roberto que anhelaba no solo estar más cerca de su esposa, sino también mostrar su amor y reverencia por la Santísima Madre, dijo: “Siento un gran amor y devoción por la Virgen de Guadalupe, entonces, cuando fue sugerido, sin ninguna duda, me hice miembro de las Guadalupanas junto a mi esposa. Me encantó la idea”.

The voices of youth from St. John Paul II High School choir and the Cathedral Youth Chorale set the stage for the first State of the Diocese on Oct. 26. They sang of unity in Christ through Word and Eucharist and of sending forth the gathered believers. Director of Music Alex Oldroyd from Corpus Christi Cathedral led them on piano with the musical arrangement, “We Are One in Christ,” by James J. Chepponis (originally Gustav Holst’s “Thaxted”). 

The tradition of Lessons and Carols dates to the late 1800s, and it continues at the Corpus Christi Cathedral this Christmas. It is a dramatic interplay of scripture passages and music that balances familiar melodies which swell to dramatic crescendos, building a sense of expectation and anticipation of the birth of Jesus.

Religious leaders of six downtown churches participated in an Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer Service on Nov. 22 at First United Methodist.

Although it was a cold and overcast day, more than 150 youth, young adults, youth ministers, and volunteers participated at Lisbon in CC, World Youth Day diocesan celebration at St. John Paul High School campus.
