Confirmation and Holy Communion

June 18, 2017. Fifty-three children of Santa Maria del Mexicano received the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion in the primary school of Santa Maria. Bishop Faustino Armendáriz Jiménez, the bishop of the Diocese of Queretaro, presided and Father Jeremy Davis, the assistant director of Santa Maria, concelebrated the Mass. The children of Santa Maria receive their catechesis in house and are instructed by the religious of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity. It was a joyful occasion for all! Many parents and godparents rejoiced with the mission as more children were sent off to preach and live the Gospel, driven by the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist! Thanks be to God!

Santa Maria Computer Lab

Santa Maria del Mexicano provides first grade through high school education to at-risk and disadvantaged children to assist them to become productive members of society.

Our children have a real desire to learn, but the computer labs available to them at Santa Maria consist of old computers with outdated operating systems. Our high school students take their course work online. Needless to say, our present situation puts them at a real disadvantage.

The first phase of the Santa Maria Computer Lab project is to upgrade the high school computer lab with 30 new computers with internet access, appropriate software applications, printers, etc.

The goal for this project is $40,000
