Bishop Bruce was the celebrant, assisted by Fr. Jose Palma, Missioner, Hispanic Ministry, and Fr. Joe Pierjok, Associate Rector at Grace Episcopal Church. The service was delivered in both Spanish and English and included a baptism. A Mariachi band provided the music for the service and to accompany the wonderful meal that followed in the parish hall.
