Join the Food Pantry Summer Fun Challenge! We are launching our 4th annual Summer Fundraising Challenge for the Helping Hands Food Pantry. The fundraiser will run from June 1st through September 8th. The Summer Fun Challenge is a "Do-It-Yourself" Fundraising event... you decide what type of event you'd like to run and graciously donate the proceeds to the Food Pantry. Events can be as simple as a lemonade stand or as elaborate as hosting a BBQ in the park for all your friends and asking them to contribute the cost of their meal. We are very grateful to all the families that have organized fundraisers in the past and hope ALL our parishioners can participate this year. Every donation is worthwhile no matter its size. Participation is the key! All the donations add up! Please collect more information at the back of the church or at the Rectory. Or email [email protected] or [email protected] for more information. We are happy to help. Enjoy your event! Please make all checks out to St. Augustine’s Helping Hands Food Pantry.

Mass Intentions… we still have dates available for mass intentions and votives for this year. This is a great way of remembering your loved ones. Stop by the rectory office and reserve your mass/votive.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Desde 1913, en la ciudad de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, la Virgen del Carmen es reconocida como la Virgen del Mar. En aquel año un barco llamado el Galileo naufraga en una tempestad y el pueblo angustiado por sus seres queridos recurrió al templo de la Virgen para pedir auxilio. Algunos días después todos los tripulantes fueron rescatados y llevados a Puntarenas. Según los tripulantes, mientras las lluvias y vientos amenazaban al Galileo una mujer los animó a que se echasen al agua y nadaran a tierra firme. Allí ella los alimentó y los acompañó hasta que fueron rescatados. Llenos de alegría, el pueblo llevó a los rescatados a la iglesia para dar gracias. Estos reconocieron a la Virgen del Carmen como la mujer que los había ayudado. Desde entonces el sábado más cercano al 16 de julio, el pueblo celebra en grande la fiesta del Carmen con grandes desfiles de barcos y yates. Entre música y fuegos artificiales los costarricenses vienen en embarcaciones adornadas desde toda la nación a celebrar con la Virgen del Mar que también se encuentra en una embarcación. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
