Mexico Mission

Dear Friends,

On August 24 & 25, we will have our annual collection for our Holy Cross Mission Parish of La Luz in the Archdiocese of Monterrey, Mexico. The Pastor, Fr. Armando Morales, and the Associate Pastor, Fr. Pedro Carreño, will be here with us at all Masses to ask for your support.

When I was Pastor at "La Luz" from 1996 to 2011, I would come to St. Ignatius Martyr annually to preach and to ask for your support. I was always so very grateful for the help that you provided every year. St. Ignatius Martyr has been supporting our Holy Cross Mission in Mexico since 1996. You might even say that "La Luz" is our Parish Mission. And for that, on behalf of the people there, I thank you.

The Covid pandemic hit Mexico very hard. At "La Luz" Parish, all activities were suspended for nearly two years. Without any other source of income, the Congregation of Holy Cross had to support the Mission. While I am no longer the pastor there, I am, at the request of Holy Cross Provincial helping to raise funds for "La Luz". In that capacity, I want to ask you to, once again, be generous in the collection on August 24 & 25.

May God bless all of you for your generosity as we support our Holy Cross Mission in Mexico.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Pete Logsdon, csc
Pastor, St. Ignatius Martyr (1974 - 1980)
Pastor, La Luz – Monterrey, Mexico (1996 - 2011)

Last year, our Holy Cross Mission Center asked me to write a brief article on how St. Ignatius Martyr has supported our Holy Cross Mission for the past 27 years. I simply said that we have been “twinning” with La Luz Parish and that it is the Mission of our parish. (read the full article here: holycrossusa.org/article/holy-cross-in-mexico)
