Hi . . .
Hope you each enjoyed a wonderful season of Hispanic Heritage Month
activities, and will be involved in Dia de los Muertes observance.
About 15 years ago, I had no understanding of Dia de los Muertes. I
thought it was suppose to be spooky like Halloween with vampires and
witches. I was fortunate, however, to be on a museum committee with
Catholic Auxillary Bishop in Orange County, the Honorable Jaime Soto.
He was not a Bishop at the time. He kindly shared books and essays, and
discussed the foundation philosophy of respect for our deceased ones.
With his help, my perspective totally. It is not spooky at all, but it
is an act of loving memory of the person for whom an ofrenda is
prepared. Life goes on and our love does too.
The November issue is 226 pages. Please be patient in opening the file,
so you will get all the photos and pages. To facilitate finding items of
interest, I've added links to the categories under U.S. : Action items,
National issues, Education, Culture, and Business. Hope that helps.
Warm regards for all seeking to understand our heritage, Mimi
