It’s been a busy season around the Baltimore Province for sharing the Good News of God’s love!
We began with the celebration of the feast of the Virgen de la Divina Providencia, patroness of Puerto Rico. Redemptorists at Immaculate Conception Parish in Bronx held a special Mass to honor Our Lady under this title.
Thanksgiving was a busy one in the Bronx as hundreds of parishioners and neighbors gathered for a complete feast in the parish hall. Volunteers brought meals to those who weren’t able to make it.
In December, festivities hit a high point with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our confreres at Visitation BVM Parish in the Kensington section of Philadelphia participated in a procession to the Philadelphia Cathedral where they celebrated Mass.
In Lima, OH, at St. Gerard’s Parish collected gifts for the needy throughout Advent. As in so many other Redemptorist communities throughout our Province, the season was truly a time for preparing the way for the Lord by serving our brothers and sisters in need.
