Visitors


The writer Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street) is one of those people gifted with the ability to peer inside the hearts of others and bring forth those jewels of beauty hidden beneath the layers of the ordinariness that marks our lives. She passed through the parish last week, asking questions about the Border Wall. For a couple of hours she just sat and listened and observed. She had no notepad, but you could hear her heart filing away notes for later consideration.
