Torch
Run makes stop in Union City
MAIN
CELEBRANT— Bishop Arias presided over the Mass celebration
that honored Our Lady of Guadalupe and welcomed runners. |
By
Liesl Fores
“I
really believe in Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I wanted to do something
for her,” said 12-year-old Luis Bolanos, from St. Anthony of
Padua Parish in Union City. Bolanos was the youngest runner in the
next-to-last leg of the fifth annual Guadalupan Torch Run, arriving
in Union City the evening of Dec. 11.
The Guadalupan Torch Run is an annual pilgrimage organized by the
Tepeyac Association of New York, a non-profit organization that
seeks social welfare and human rights for Latino immigrants, and
several Catholic dioceses. In the past, it has taken place on the
streets of the five boroughs of New York City. Mexican youths from
all over New York run a course with blessed lit torches to churches
throughout the city. The torches symbolize “the faith of the
Mexican people, which is alive wherever they live.”

Where
Stewardship and AAA Meet
From
time to time, parishioners will ask about how and in
what way the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal (AAA) and the Stewardship
Initiative of the Archdiocese work. Are they the same? Where and
why are they different? If I choose to contribute to one, do I
also give to the other? Do I have to give to both? And where do
these programs fit with other extraordinary efforts in my parish
such as a capital campaign?
