DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
In a moment that radiates both honor and responsibility, Father Justin has been bestowed with the esteemed cross of the Daughters of the King (DOK), marking a significant milestone in his spiritual journey. As he steps into the role of chaplain, Father Justin embraces the opportunity to guide and inspire the Daughters with wisdom and grace.

FEAST OF EPIPHANY
Yesterday, we had a wonderful Mass service to celebrate the Feast of Epiphany with Father Justin and Father Luis, and it was truly a joyous occasion!
Over 50 people gathered to partake in this special event, where we shared the delightful traditional "Rosca de Reyes" alongside hot cocoa. It was a beautiful way to come together as a community and embrace the spirit of this festive celebration.
