During this month of Mary, (May, of course!), all are welcomed to Cuenca’s Old Cathedral to view and be inspired by a beautiful exposition of Marian imagery.
(The Old Cathedral is located just across Parque Calderon from the New Cathedral.)

Our dear Iglesia de San Francisco as it appeared in former times…before the addition of the now prominent tower over the central doors.

Iglesia de San Francisco.

La Iglesia y casa parroquial de San Francisco aparecen en esta imagen se aprecia el antiguo frontis virreinal del templo, una fachada que conservaba rasgos sobrios y tradicionales propios de la época colonial. Con el paso del tiempo, este frente original fue transformado por completo.

En la actualidad, la fachada del templo presenta un diseño distinto, fruto de modificaciones posteriores que cambiaron de manera notable su aspecto inicial. Esta imagen constituye, por tanto, un valioso testimonio visual de la evolución urbana y arquitectónica del conjunto franciscano y de la ciudad en general.

Listen in to Father Kevin's homily for the Second Sunday of Easter where the apostle, Thomas, becomes the central figure (next to the Risen Jesus, of course!). His movement from doubt to full faith in Jesus is the capstone of John's Gospel.
(By the way, this will be Father Kevin's last homily for several weeks while he takes a vacation back in the USA!)

Father Kevin Vacation Coming Up

Father Kevin will be returning to Spokane to visit family and friends as well as prepare his house there for sale later in the summer. He will depart on April 15th and return on May 27th.

On the six Sundays that he will be away, our Sunday Masses will go bilingual! Father Joffre or his substitutes will celebrate the Mass mostly in Spanish, but the Liturgy of the Word, including a reflection on the readings by one of our lay members, and the intercessions will be in English; this is the pattern we have used the past year or two so it is familiar to most of you. Our Sunday Mass time will remain at 10:00 am.

There will be no Wednesday Masses during those weeks.

Father Kevin's Easter morning homily focuses on Mary of Magdala as the first witness to the Empty Tomb and the first to encounter the Risen Jesus.
