As we approach the 50th anniversary of our founding, we are grateful for the work and dedication of the faithful generations who went before us. They made great sacrifices and nurtured the faith that has been entrusted to us today so that we can continue to praise God here at Espiritu Santo. Now it’s our time to undertake the critical work to insure we can pass on what’s been entrusted to us.
