January 2004

January 7, 2004 at 2:00 pm, our Fourth Pastor, now His Excellency Felipe de Jesus Estevez, D.D., was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami at the Cathedral of Saint Mary, Miami, Florida.

His Episcopal motto is: “In finem dilexit eos” – “He loved them to the end” (Jn. 13, 1). On January 11, 2004 he celebrated in our Parish the 11:00 am Mass in English and 1:00 pm Mass in Spanish as the new appointed Auxiliary Bishop. Following the Mass, a grand and elegant reception was offered in his honor at our Parish Hall.
