PASTORAL JUVENIL CELEBRATES “LAS POSADAS”
2024-12-21 18:00 - 19:00 | Our Lady of Snows Parish Center
PASTORAL JUVENIL CELEBRATES “LAS POSADAS”
“Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth
in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David
called Bethlehem, because he was
descended from the house and family
of David” or “There was no place for
them in the inn”. (Luke 2:4-5)
“Las Posadas” are a Hispanic tradition from the first evangelization. The
missionaries taught the first converts to prepare for Christmas by praying an
“Awaiting Novena”. In time, this novena was enriched with elements of catechesis
which acquired a deep and prayerful meaning given by the people.
“Las Posadas” which means inn or lodging, is the beautiful and touching
commemoration of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and their search for
shelter prior to the birth of Christ. Today, many immigrants worldwide seek a more
dignified life for their families. They often leave their homes in search of better
opportunities, facing challenges such as language barriers, discrimination, and
economic instability. As the family of Nazareth, they navigate these and numerous
other challenges, facing uncertainties and hardships, all to aim and ensure a
dignified future for their families.
Their courage and determination reflect a deep commitment to improving their
circumstances and achieving a life filled with hope and dignity. This journey often
involves sacrifices and an incredible amount of resilience as they adapt to new
cultures while holding onto their identities. Ultimately, their stories are a testament
to the universal desire for a better life and the lengths they are willing to go to
secure it for their loved ones.
During our Posada celebration, we honor and pray for them as we celebrate their
new country’s gifts, talents, and faith. It’s also a time for us to reflect on our role as
a community in supporting these families, whether it’s through advocacy, providing
resources, or simply offering a welcoming environment.

Pastoral Juvenil Annual Leadership Retreat
2025-03-21 08:00 - 2025-03-23 17:00
The Leadership Retreat provides a transformative opportunity for young adults to
deepen their faith and enhance their leadership skills in an uplifting environment.
Participants will be encouraged to explore their unique gifts and understand their
essential role in the Church’s mission, all within a context of prayer and a strong
sense of community.
Through meaningful activities, discussions, and personal reflections, attendees will
cultivate a stronger connection with themselves, others, and God. While personal
growth is a key aspect of the retreat, it also emphasizes igniting a passion for service
and transforming lives in alignment with the values of faith.
This experience is designed for individuals aged 20 to 35 who are eager to grow and
envision their future in ministry. It offers a transformative opportunity to step away
from daily routines, encounter Jesus, and build lifelong relationships. Ultimately,
the retreat aims to empower these young leaders to become instruments of change
in their communities, spreading the message of love and being instruments of hope
in our broken world.
