Today the catholic church we attend, Our Lady of Guadalupe, held their annual Palm Sunday Procession in honor of Jesus triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. We were not surprised at the number of people that took part in it, as it is a very active parish with a wonderful participation by the youth. Our priest, Father Roy, has two burros given to him by Mexican children and also a llama, all of which were in the procession. He also has several dogs which he adopted who did not march due to the heat. The procession began at church with a reinactment and continued 4 miles to LaLomita, a small mission where the Diocese of Brownsville was started. It was quite touching to watch. Following the procession, there was a barbecue at LaLomita to wish farewell to all the Winter Texans and migrant workers. We did not attend as the weather was extremely warm. We are so grateful to be a part of such a great parish and to be welcomed by the Mexican people with open arms.
