Capital Campaign
Message from Capital Campaign Director, Angelica Bertot Santibanez
Dear Saint Louis families:
I wanted to share with you that I will be soon be transitioning to a new chapter in my professional life as the
Development Director for St. John Vianney College Seminary with the Archdiocese of Miami. The past two and
a half years here at Saint Louis Catholic Community have been joyful and rewarding and I really came to love
this very special place.
I am truly grateful to have served alongside such great leaders, parents, parishioners, and friends. I came to
St. Louis Church & Covenant School as the Capital Campaign Director because I truly believe in this project
and how it will serve the needs of the Saint Louis Catholic Community for years to come- from our school
children to the various ministry members we have. As a mentor and friend once told me, a well executed capital
campaign invites everyone to offer the gifts they have, sort of like a covenant. Share what YOU can share so that
we ALL benefit. I am so humbled by the amount of people that answered the call to share their time, talents and
treasures as part of this important capital campaign and I am grateful to have been a small part of this journey
with you. The journey is not over, however, so as I transition out I invite you to continue praying on how you will
also be a part of the journey if you haven't done so already.
The next phase of my journey starts on July 27th, when I join the Archdiocese of Miami Development Corporation,
leading the development efforts in helping secure financial resources in support of the important mission and
objectives of St John Vianney College Seminary.
Again, thank you for your support and your friendship. Know of my prayers for the St Louis Catholic Community
and please continue praying for me as we continue advancing the mission of the Church here in the Archdiocese
of Miami.
Blessings,
Angelica Bertot Santibanez

When he was 15 years old in 2009, fellow parishioner Justin Menendez lost his 13 year-old brother, Jason
Anthony Menendez, to suicide. It was in the wake of that tragedy that Justin founded The J.A.M. Foundation, a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of The J.A.M. Foundation is to educate the youth of today, as
well as parents, educators and the general public, to Stand Up and Speak about the often-taboo topic of
suicide.

Gospel Values to Live and to Die For
Pope Francis made a brief stop last week on July
8, 2015, during his Apostolic Journey to South America.
He visited the place where a fellow Jesuit, Father Luis
Espinal, was murdered in Bolivia on March 22, 1980,
two days before Bishop Oscar Romero was shot while
saying Mass in El Salvador on March 24, 1980. Both of
them died because their preaching upset too much of
the status quo.
The Pope said of Father Luis: “I have stopped
here to remember a brother, your brother, the victim of
those who did not want him to struggle for the freedom
of Bolivia. Father Espinal preached the gospel, and that
gospel bothered those people, and for that he eliminated
him… May the Lord hold in his glory Father Luis Espinal
who preached the gospel, that gospel which brings us
liberty, which makes us free, as children of God. Jesus
brought us that freedom; he preached that gospel. May
Jesus hold Father Luis close to himself.”
Father Luis came from Barcelona in the early
1970’s, and he used his skills as a poet, journalist and film
maker to expose the abuses of the military government
in power at that time. After his abduction he was tortured
for hours with kicks, blows and burns, until12 bullets
ended his life in a cattle slaughterhouse. Peasants found
his bound and gagged body the next day on the road to
Chacaltaya, where the Pope stopped to pray. Espinal
was preparing to publicize the cocaine trafficking carried
on by military personnel. 7,000 people attended his
funeral as a demonstration against the military regime.
Throughout his Apostolic Journey millions of
people welcomed the Pope. Some of the poorest find
in him and his messages a reason for hope. The Pope
makes it clear that religion involves more than what we
do in the church building or in the bedroom. Christian
living must address wider social issues, as the Pope
makes it clear in his writings and preaching about social
justice, care for the poor, respect for the environment,
assistance for immigrants, war, peace, etc. Some would
claim those are just political issues about which the Pope
should not speak. He makes it clear
that gospel values must permeate all
areas of human life. That’s why he
stopped and prayed where Fr. Luis’
body was discovered. That’s why
he beatified Bishop Oscar Romero
as a martyr who gave his live not
merely for a political issue but for
the sake ofYours in Christ, t h e
gospel itself.
Vivir y Morir por los Valores del
Evangelio
La semana pasada, día 8
de julio de 2015, el Papa Francisco
hizo una breve parada en su Jornada
Apostólica por América del Sur. El
visitó el lugar donde un compañero
Jesuita, el Padre Luis Espinal fue
encontrado asesinado el 22 de marzo
de 1980, en Bolivia, dos día antes del asesinato del Obispo
Oscar Romero mientras daba la Misa en El Salvador el 24
de marzo de 1980. Ambos murieron porque su prédica
perturbaba demasiado el “estatus quo”.
El Papa dice del Padre Luis: “Me detengo aquí
para recordar a un hermano, hermano de ustedes,
víctima de aquellos que no querían que él luchara por la
paz en Bolivia. El Padre Espinal predicaba el evangelio,
ese evangelio que nos brinda libertad, que nos hace libres,
como hijos de Dios. Jesús nos trajo esa libertad; el predicó
ese evangelio. ¡Que Jesús mantenga al Padre Luis muy
cerca de él”!
El Padre Luis salió de Barcelona a principio de los
años ‘70, haciendo uso de sus habilidades como poeta,
periodista y cineasta para exponer los abusos del gobierno
militar que estaba en el poder en ese entonces. Después
que lo secuestraron fue torturado por horas dándole
patadas, golpes y quemaduras, hasta que 12 balas
pusieron fin a su vida en un matadero. Unos labriegos
encontraron su destrozado cuerpo a la orilla del camino
a Chacaltaya, donde el Papa se detuvo a orar. Espinal
estaba listo para hacer público el tráfico de cocaína que
conducían los militares. Unas 7,000 personas asistieron a
su funeral demostrando así su repudio al regimen militar.
A través de su Jornada Apostólica millones de
personas le dieron la bienvenida al Papa. Los más pobres
de los pobre encontraron en su mensaje razones para
tener esperanza. El Papa lo dijo bien claro que la religión
envuelve mucho más que lo que hacemos en el edificio
de la iglesia o en la habitación. El vivir Cristianamente
es afrontar un amplio aspecto de temas sociales, como
lo dice el Papa en sus escritos y en su prédica sobre la
justicia social, el cuidado de los pobres, el respeto al
medio ambiente, ayuda a los inmigrantes, guerras, paz,
etc. Muchos reclamarán que esos son temas políticos en
los que el Papa no debe involucrarse. El lo dice bien claro
que los valores del evangelio deben permear todas áreas
de la vida humana. Por eso él se detuvo y oró donde
se descubrió el cadaver del Padre Luis. Por esa razón él
beatificó al Obispo Oscar Romero como martir que dió
su vida no sólo por temas políticos sino por el evangelio
mismo.
Suyos en Cristo,
