Elizabet, who came to a solid Catholic faith and personal knowledge of Jesus through the Solteros (the Single Men & Women of Seguidores de la Cruz). Raised a Jehova's witness, the conversion was not an easy transition for her. Her mother is a devout member of the Jehova's Witnesses and Eli, her only daughter.

Although there is a time for blessing one another with-- at least-- water. Jesus Christ [came], not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree. (1Jo 5:6b-8)

With wonderful examples and testimonies Eric and Kiki, sent out from California by “The Culture Project”, illuminated the dignity of each human person and the current attacks against us. To read more about "Purity in Action" click on the title, "A Cultural Encounter".

Mexico is a country of many martyrs. The faith of the people plumbs depths that missionaries from the USA must observe with respect and openness to learn. Click the title "The Sacred Triduum" to read the full explanation.

Padre Honorio is serving in the Heart of Reynosa. Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish is affectionately called the Cathedral of Reynosa, even though it does not enjoy the canonical status of a cathedral. Click on title ("Homecoming") to read more.

With four other transitional deacons Honorio was ordained to the priesthood on the feast of the Chair of St. Peter on 22 February, 2019. The feast day coincided with our Bishop's 28th anniversary of priestly ordination as well as the 60th anniversary of the establishment of our Diocese of Matamoros.

In 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")

Sister Amada made permanent vows as a consecrated sister on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The private vows were made after Sister Amada has consecrated herself for one year at a time for several years. As part of the Sisterhood of Servants of the Cross, Sister Amada takes on the Mission primarily to love the Lord Jesus with her whole heart and mind and strength.

On Sunday, November 25th, current participants, alumni and former students of the school for families and invited guests will commemorate our recognition as a movement in the Church of Matamoros. Each Fall we celebrate our official acceptance into the Diocese as a Private Association of the Faithful.

The third of four 9-week courses for 2018 is coming into week number eight. Everyone who has been studying and applying theselves to understand and express the particular materials at hand are now considering a testimony. How has the Lord been working in our marriage, our family or in my heart throughout this late-summer period?

The Solteros of Seguidores de la Cruz (SDLC) is a group of Single Men & Women who are following Jesus Christ, especially focused on embracing their personal vocation. The dynamic is tricky! I need to take full personal responsibility for the vocation I received at Baptism by looking outside myself to the Lordship of Jesus and to serving others for their well-being.

Parents are strongly encouraged to get a report of the session activities for each of their children who attend courses according to their age groups. This allows them to ask informed questions of their children and actively take up their formation. (Click title to continue)

Our Fall session began for all "Seguidores de la Cruz" (Followers of the Cross), Married Couples with their families and also the Single Men & Women. The July vacation respite has flown. (Click title to continue)

Our Newsletter, "La Semilla" has been delayed by technical problems on the cyber side of distribution. Usually it gets postd before the land mail issue goes out. Many of our readers find it helpful to download the current issue in order to explain the mission to new people, and now they are in business.

The newsletter for Summer of 2018, “La Semilla”, eagerly awaits to be unveiled. Nearly all the preparations are complete. The lead feature conveys an interview with Ofelio and Rocio, a couple with two sons, who have been attending the mission courses of Seguidores de la Cruz for just over a year-and-a-half.

The Stations of the Cross at the mission are nearly ready to be unveiled. Twenty-one years ago, we were able to purchase the land which is now our center for Catholic Family Renewal, called El Rancho Nazaret.

Courses begin anew this weekend. This next session will take us to the end of June. Most grade schools and middle schools in Mexico are in session to the end of June as well, so there is not the same shock that might accompany such a schedule in the USA.

Saint John Paul II exhorts us to a mission which is new in its “ardor, methods and expression”. The Angels' directive to the women in Matthew's Gospel (28:7) is quite relevant for us today.
