The second annual Mary Magdalen Festival, held July 20-21, 2019, featured 4 speakers.  On Saturday, Velma Richmond, Ph.D a long time parishioner presented a paper titled Mary Magdalene: Growth of a Legend.  Fr. Michael Dodds, O.P., from DSPT and Dona Maria Teresa Bastidas from Santa Maria de Guadalupe, our sister Parish in Mexicali, provided reflections.

The painting of our patroness by Fr. Nicholas Glisson served as the image for this years festival.
