Tagged: Peru
At St. James Cathedral Chapel in downtown Orlando, Celidat Teixaira was among the Hispanic parishioners attending Monday’s midday Mass.
“When you love God, it doesn’t matter who’s around you,” said Teixaira, who immigrated to Central Florida from Peru 15 years ago. “Language, skin color — whatever — it’s not a problem.”
The infusion of newcomers to the United States — especially Spanish-speaking immigrants — has kept the American Catholic Church from joining other mainline denominations in dramatic decline, according to a study released Monday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.”*
