About San Maximiliano Kolbe in Honduras
Did you know that OLG has a sister parish in Honduras? The relationship with Franciscan parish, San Maximiliano Maria Kolbe, began with Most Holy Trinity more than 15 years ago. To date, OLG has primarily supported the Education Ministry at San Max through generous contributions from our community.
Political and social unrest and the COVID pandemic have presented challenges in maintaining the relationship between our parishes. In an effort to breathe new life into our shared Catholic identity, OLG and San Max will begin praying a bilingual Rosary together on a virtual call once a month.
A PowerPoint will be used with the prayers in English and Spanish so all speakers can pray together. OLG and St. Maximilian will be looking for volunteers to lead the decades. After the Rosary, there will be a 5-10 minute Q&A period to get to know each other better as parishes.
