Yesterday, we received the welcome news that after much effort and with the
support of the Diocese of Greece, the community of Costa Rica will be having a
new weekend, with 25 couples, on June 5- 6, in the parish of
Greece, one
of the dioceses of the country. For our region,
with the blessing of God and the Holy Spirit's presence, this means a great
opportunity and hope and new beginnings for this community. As you may know, in
Costa Rica weekends were suspended for some years. But now the love
of God is present and it gives us hope and happiness.
Congratulations to our brothers and sisters in Costa Rica.
Also, on Sunday June 6, the selection of the new National Ecclesial Team for the
next three years will be held in Panama Thank
you for your attention to these facts and we would appreciate
everyone's prayers.
