Dear parish community,

With the arrival of summer, many of us look forward to a time of vacation: days of rest, travel, family moments, or simply a break from our usual routines. These pauses are good and necessary— gifts from God that allow us to renew our strength, appreciate His creation, and deepen our bonds with loved ones.

However, in the midst of this rest, we must not forget what is most important: our relationship with God. Vacation is not a break from our spiritual life, but an opportunity to live it in a new way. Even if our location or routine changes, God goes with us wherever we are. Finding a local church for Mass, setting aside time each day for prayer, or reading the Word of God can bring new meaning to this season.

Let us ask the Lord to grant us a summer that brings rest to our bodies and renewal to our souls. May we live these vacation days as moments of encounter with God through simplicity, beauty, and sharing. Have a blessed and joyful summer!

Father Julio
