‘You are a powerful symbol of unity in the Church,’ Cardinal Gregory tells Sacred Heart students during Hispanic Heritage Month
For the Hispanic students at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Washington, Hispanic Heritage Month brings a unique sense of joy as it reconnects them with the colors, scents, rhythms and flavors of their homelands. During the celebration, Cardinal Wilton Gregory encouraged the students to always share, learn from, and celebrate with classmates from different cultural backgrounds.
“I am delighted to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with you. You and your families are living examples of faith, unity, and constant joy. Hispanics are like a garden of multicolored flowers, continuously growing with God, and that is a wonderful gift to the Church,” said Cardinal Gregory during the Mass he celebrated at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart in the city’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood on Sept. 20, 2024.
