History of Mary Queen of Peace Chapter of Magnificat, Indio California

(Diocese of San Bernardino, CA)
In March 2010, Mrs. Donna Ross asked Gloria and Claudia to start a chapter of the Magnificat in Spanish because there was a great need to do so.
It all began as God makes the call through Donna Ross to Gloria to ask him to form Magnificat in Spanish.

Gloria and Claudia prayed and began to make the call in December 2010. Claudia invited her mom and sisters, Gloria also invited Angelica, in turn she to Ana Razo, and she to Elena Rosas and Remedios Vargas, Emilia and Juanita. The first meeting was in February at the house of Gloria and Claudia. In this first meeting they were Lupita, the mother of Claudia, Graciela, Donaciana, Normita and those mentioned before. At this same meeting s and Spiritual Directors elected the Fathers Gerardo Mendoza and Michael Barry, but our first Mass was with Father Luis Guido. We also searched for the name of the chapter and we all voted for “Mary Queen of Peace.”

May 13 of year 2011, the papers were made request to form the group, day of Our Lady of Fatima. On May 31, 2011, “Visitation Day,” was our confirmation of team selection,

In June of 2011, we had a meeting with the group Magnificat Our Lady’s Desert Roses and it was very edifying to see their organization and love between them. The people of the first group that was formed, we had the opportunity to go to breakfast in English and Claudia translated for us.

And in 2011 the chapter Mary Queen of Peace began with the approval of Bishop Gerald Barnes of the Diocese of San Bernardino and the direction of Father Gerardo Mendoza and Br. Mike Barry. The first breakfast was made on October 15, 2011 with the presentation of the speaker Sister Blanca Ruiz of Colombia.
