Twinning Visit 2017!

12/1/2017

0 Comments

 
 In October of 2017, four members from our Twinning Parish in Paraguay, La Capilla Ana y San Joaquin, joined us in Dayton for our annual Parish retreat and for a week long visit of relationship-building. The visit included participation in the annual Parish discipleship retreat, a presentation about Paraguay and Parish life, visits with various families and new friends, and a tour of Dayton.

Here are a few pictures from the visit, followed by a short video message from our twinning Parish.
During the presentation to the Parish, our brothers and sisters journeyed through a brief history of Paraguay and shared a glimpse of the warm and inviting culture of their beloved homeland. They then they described some of the successes and challenges they encounter ministering their own neighborhood and shared a little know fact that Paraguay has been on the top of the Gallop Global Emotions list as the "Happiest Country in the World" almost every year since the initiation of the survey. 

In this video, several of our brothers and sisters from la Capilla Santa Ana share why they believe Paraguayans are so happy, based in the contentment and joy they find in their faith and in their community. 
They also send a special greeting to their brothers and sisters in Ohio.

Introduction to our Twinning Relationship

1/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Pope Francis states,  “We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy…  Mercy: the fundamental law that dwells in the heart of every person who looks sincerely into the eyes of his brothers and sisters on the path of life. “ (MV 2)
 
In order to help us  “contemplate mercy”, Our Lady of the Immaculate Parish and La Capilla Santa Ana y San Joaquin in Ñemby, Paraguay, are forming a “twinning relationship”.  Through this relationship, our hope is to “look sincerely into the eyes of our Paraguayan brothers and sisters on the path of life” by praying for each other, learning from each other, and joining together on our mutual mission of becoming and making disciples of all nations.

What is a Twinning (sister church) Relationship?
  • A journey in discipleship, together with a church community from another part of the world
  • In the spirit of mercy, a way to cross cultural and language barriers and UNDERSTAND life through the eyes of our brothers and sisters in Christ
  • Adding names and faces to the PRAYERs we each offer for those around the world during the Prayers of the Faithful during Mass
  • An opportunity for SERVICE as we help each other accomplish our spiritual goals and share our resources

Our Twinning Parish:
La Capilla Santa Ana

 
La Capilla Santa Ana is located in Ñemby, Paraguay, about 18 km (11 miles) from the capital city of Asunción.   The church community is home to around 500 families (approx. 3000 people), and serves over 200 children and youth ages 5-17 in catechism classes and youth groups.  The active parishioners help to create a vibrant and spirit-led parish life through frequent retreats, neighborhood missions, novenas, prayer groups, and bilingual folklore Masses in both of Paraguay’s official languages, Spanish and Guarani.



How have we begun our relationship?
  • Both church communities held simultaneous Merciful Discipleship retreats in September.
  • We have included each other in our Prayers of the Faithful during Mass once a month in October and November.
  • The Twinning committees from both parishes met via Skype to discuss goals and expectations.
  • Christmas cards made by the children from Immaculate Conception school and PREP classes were sent to Paraguay.
  • Part of the donations from our Lenten project will be contributed towards La Capilla Santa Ana’s goal of providing better accommodations for their catechism classes.
There is more to come in the upcoming months and years.  
¡Que Dios Nos Dirija!  May God Lead Us!
