From the Pastor
I am happy to be pastor of this parish community. I am kept very busy but it is a great satisfaction to see how the lives of so many are enriched by the ministries carried out by the community. I feel very much supported in my responsibilities by my confer, Fr. Ariel Durian. We belong to a religious order whose name is the Missionaries of St. Charles, Scalabrinians, with the charism of caring for immigrants.
We could never do what we do without the cooperation and collaboration of many lay leaders, they are a blessing to the community and to me as a priest. I thank God every day for them and the witness of faith that they give.
Let me share the vision of who we are that has been elaborated by the pastoral council:
“As Our lady of the Holy Rosary Parish and Our Lady of Zapopan Mission; under the protection of Our Lady, the mother of Jesus and the mother of the Church; we are a diverse community, ethnically, culturally and spiritually; striving toward unity in Christ.
In our Catholic tradition we gather together to celebrate the sacraments, centered in the Eucharist, to proclaim the good news to all, to promote the dignity of every human being and to respond to the needs of the poor.”
I believe that this vision really captures who we are as a community.
Please feel free to visit us in person, we would love to welcome you.
