Bishop Menjivar urges Cristo Rey students to ‘make room for God’ during Lenten season
Washington Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar celebrated a Feb. 18 Ash Wednesday Mass for students at Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School in Takoma Park and urged them to “remember you are ambassadors for Christ.”
“Ambassadors represent something like a country, but you represent Christ and His Church,” Bishop Menjivar told the students. “Carry on the message of compassion, joy and hope Jesus wants you to share with others.”
About 300 students attended the liturgy, and some served as lectors and altar servers during the Mass, which was offered at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, which is next door to the school.
