Ave Maria Purissima!
Greetings of peace and joy to all of you brothers and sisters in faith.

The Community of the Poor (from the church’s patron saint Our Lady of the Poor) Chapel of Saint Maria Virginia in Southern California, would like to share with you a very special event on December 19 and 20, 2009. This also marks a special history in our church, as we introduce the Apostolic Catholic Church in various communities in Southern California, and the church mission through the Order of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit community, and with all the sealed servants of God the Holy Spirit, our Beloved Ingkong. With this event, all church members and associate members will fulfill the church’s motto to work and come together as one body, one family, and one church (Theotokos 2009 – The Beginning of “Dreams of Faith” Project).

The highlight of this event is the presence of our Holy Father, His Holiness Dr. +John Florentine Teruel, PP PhD, the Patriarch of the Apostolic Catholic Church in both events, joining him are the members of the clergy from the various missions in United States of America together with community leaders from Southern California.

We would like you all to be part of this very special event with us. Please come join us and let us all share the love and inspiration given to us by our Holy Mother – Saint Maria Virginia, honoring our Blessed Virgin Mary with the most love and dedication we could ever offer to her.
