Lent and New Evangelization
Nicaragua – February 2015. In an atmosphere of prayer we started the celebration of Lent with Ash Wednesday in one of our rural communities of the Montfortian Mission in Nicaragua. The parishioners of Mary Queen of All Hearts Parish of La Gateada, with their Montfort Missionary Fr. Alonso Lazo Orozco SMM, shared the morning with the Sacred Heart of Jesus community. Let us be united in prayer in this time of grace and walk together on the path to conversion and renew the church by the Gospel.
On 22 February, in the company of the Bishop of the Diocese of Juigalpa, Msgr. Socrates Rene Sandigo Jiron, Fr. Alonzo Lazo Orozco SMM, with the parishioners of Mary Queen of All Hearts, participated in the opening Mass of the mission, with the theme: “Parishes in Mission to the New Evangelization.” This event reflects one of the notes of our congregation. Let us keep on praying for the mission in Nicaragua and in the different places where the Company of Mary has presence.
