“He took the loaves and fish and blessed them”
Matthew 14:19
My Dear People of
the Diocese of Monterey, I am most pleased
to invite you to attend and participate in a Marian Congress celebrated in our
Diocese in Salinas. The dates for this celebration are September 19th and 20th,
Friday evening and all day Saturday. The location is Madonna Del Sasso Parish
located at 320 E. Laurel Drive in Salinas. For more information, call Madonna Del Sasso Parish at 831-422-5323. In the sacred
Documents of the Second Vatican Council we read: “The entire body
of the faithful pours forth urgent supplications to the Mother of God—who may
now intercede before her son—until all families may be happily gathered together in Peace and harmony into one
People of God”. May Our Mother,
intercede for us that Christ may form and mold us into God’s family. Mary
brought forth the Word of God, Jesus, and now when Jesus is more deeply needed
in our lives and Society, Mary offers us her Son, her gift that we may have
life and Hope in Him. Please join us on
September 19th & 20th. With Christ’s
Love, Most Rev. Richard
J. Garcia, Bishop of Monterey
