Praying in Peñalolén

Yesterday, we (a group of Holy Cross priests) gathered with five young men who are thinking about the priesthood.  In today's world, especially given what the church in Chile and elsewhere has experienced, I am grateful for these young men who want to ask God what He suggests that they do with their lives.

We met at the Hogar Santa Cruz in Peñalolén, a community on the periphery of Santiago, where Holy Cross has been present for at least fifty years.
