Growing Roots

Growing roots
The neighborhood is always looking nice. Beautiful murals are there to remind us who we are. The symbols, the traditions that keep us together are the inspiration for this murals. 
The past, the present, and the future are there, painted on a bricked wall that is as strong as our heritage.


 
Doña Julia

A church is not just four walls and stained glass. A church is made by its people. Doña Julia knows this better than anyone. She comes here to thank God for the blessings we receive everyday, and asks Christ to keep us from dismay. “It is always good to remember that we are not alone.” We couldn't chat very long, because a funeral was to take place. Before I left she told me that “It's important to believe in something that gives you hope.”
