Delegazione U.S.A.

On February 24th, 2023., Fr. Vibin Edassary finally arrived from India in our house in Tonala', Mexico, after 3 years of waiting due to the pandemic.

Thank you, dear Fr. Vibin, for accepting to be part of this small but important Circumscription of the Congregation. Thanks also to Fr. Sajan, Superior of the Quasi-Province of India, and to all the confreres who have made possible your presence in our midst. God bless your sacrifices and multiply your joy as a Rogationist religious on a mission.

November 30 - On this day, we celebrated Mass at 7:15 am in our Parish St. Mary’s Church together with the people. Fr. John Bruno, the Pastor, presided over this celebration. In his homily, he highlighted the message of St. Andrew, the apostle, who had a special relationship with Jesus and became a vocation promoter; “Lord Jesus where are you living… ‘We have found the Christ!’ Andrew took Simon to Jesus.” Each baptized, he commented, has the commitment to invite the people to come to Church.
