Courses will not reopen before the new year, but planning by way of virtual meetings has been ongoing for several months. We have tried to remain in contact and we will publish some amazing witnesses as to how families kept contact and served one another during the months of Covid-19 shutdown.


A corner of the altar can be seen in the photo at the back of the palapa. This shot was taken as families began to assemble, having been waiting in their cars until the setup was complete. Sister Casey, at the right of the palapa, accompanies with some opening songs.


Temperature in the mid-sixties as Mass began; delicious on their shoulders and beautifully illuminating were the rays the early morning sun.

Like everyone worldwide, our families have been making many adjustments. One highlight for us is that many neighborhoods in the city of Reynosa have been cut off from WiFi due to the strain on the main provider, which is TelMex (think "Ma Bell"). They were not prepared for all schools and many businesses to be online all day long. There is finally an alternative server for internet, but their accessibility is limited by their very recent permission to begin service; towers and fibers are not yet physically in place for all households and businesses to connect.


The Lord looks down from heaven, He sees all the sons of men.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him;
on those who hope in His stedfast love (Ps 33: 13a, 18).

For nearly a month the mission at El Rancho Nazaret has been devoid of WiFi service. But we trust and begin to see the light of the Lord leading and guiding by His own wisdom.
