Visit to Puerto Rico

Today I had the great blessing to meet Deacon Bengie (in pink vestments) and Rev Benjamin Perez Cruz (in the white cassock) the Rector of the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is the oldest Cathedral in the Americas. Construction began in 1521.

They graciously welcomed me and we look forward to collaborating together with the Children's Rosary. Deacon Bengie in particular thought the families in the parish could benefit from the Children's Rosary and he would begin efforts to try to initiate the Children's Rosary in the Cathedral. We shared Children's Rosary books and Child Consecration books as well as handmade rosaries to help their efforts. 

Deacon Bengie mentioned that the island is under the patronage of Our Lady of Providence. A beautiful mural of Our Lady of Providence appears on the wall next to the Cathedral. 

During the visit to the Cathedral I prayed for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary.
