With God's grace, Father Paul Grala, SOLT, completed his 25th Anniversary
of Priesthood on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, and then celebrated it with St.
Gertrude Parish on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity on Sunday, June 7.
He is honored to celebrate his Anniversary on the same day as Father Vince
Albano. Also, Sr. Mary of The Holy Eucharist Romero of nearby Buena Vista,
NM recently celebrated her 80th birthday.
Our Lady of the Mora Valley has been interceding for Mora County, and we
have no cases of COVID -19! In addition, each year the SOLT priests here
consecrates the sixteen missions of our parish and Mora County to Our Lord
through Our Lady.
With Fr. Flanagan and Fr. McHugh being buried near the SOLT Convent
in Holman we have powerful intercessors to protect our parish, including
our local deceased SOLT members. They are: Sr. Mary Carmen Sandoval,
Sr. Mary Martha Rivera, Sr. Mary of The Precious Blood Griego, Sr. Mary
John Simon Cassidy, and Becky Trujillo.
