From the moment of arrival, hearts were ready. What unfolded was far more than a workshop, it was a true encounter with the healing love of God and His Holy Spirit. Guided by special guests, and supported by dedicated organizers and intercessors, our parish welcomed a day filled with praise, teaching, prayer, and deep spiritual renewal.

This Ash Wednesday, over 2,662 people attended Mass throughout the day to begin the sacred season of Lent together. Marked with ashes and the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” we were reminded of our need for conversion and our call to return to the Lord with humble hearts.

For the first time, our Religious Education students participated in the burning of last year’s palms to prepare the ashes for Ash Wednesday. This meaningful tradition helped them understand the journey from Palm Sunday to the Cross — and the call to conversion as we enter the holy season of Lent.

At Mass on Wednesday, Febraury 11th, Fr. Juan Carlos offered a special blessing and commissioning for those serving at the upcoming Effetá Retreat.

May the Holy Spirit lead them, strengthen them, and work powerfully through their witness.

Before the Three Kings Parade set out from St. Agnes, Fr. Jorge Reyes offered a special blessing, entrusting the journey to God’s care. This great moment marked the beginning of a joyful celebration that then took place at the Key Biscayne Christmas tree.
