January 2In light of many meeting cutbacks and time constraints due to the insecurity in Reynosa, the decision was made that we would have no Pastorela this year at the Christmas celebration. In years past the Solteros (Single Men & Women) were the organizers and production directors of the Pastorela for Seguidores de la Cruz. Belen (aged 13) was shocked at the announcement of the cancellation of the Pastorela and rallied the support of her contemporary, Melisa, to volunteer for the job of the organizing the entire operation. The two of them argued that they could not remember a Christmas without the Pastorela. (Read more-- click on the title "Christmas Traditions")Read More

Servants of the Cross
Servants of the Cross is a missionary company of men and women, originally from Ohio, who now live in Reynosa, Mexico, which is in the diocese of Matamoros. We are lay Catholics: married couples; consecrated women-- and also one priest. After serving on the border region just across the river from McAllen, Texas for twenty years, we have developed in many ways due to the Lord’s faithfulness. Our main focus is the renewal of Catholic family life according to the teachings of John Paul II and the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales. The essence of this call is founded in the conviction that from the Cross of Jesus Christ comes the power to be able to live as the Lord intends the family to live– in communion of persons, as a reflection of the Trinity.
We see our tasks as primarily the following:i.) to be teachers of family life;
ii.) who are committed to building a culture of life and love;
iii.) to have a special concern to help the young enter their vocation in the service of the Church;
iv.) and to present renewed families to the Church.
