The community honored the lives of&nbsp;<strong>Fr. Avelino Lorenzo, SDB<\/strong>,&nbsp;and their brother and sister Cooperators\u2014<strong>Belia Polanco, Julio Pinchinatti, Benito Trujillo, Ana Garcia,<\/strong>&nbsp;y&nbsp;<strong>Mariano Morante<\/strong>. Family and friends of the departed also joined them for this special Mass, at which <strong>Fr. Fabian Cardenas, SDB<\/strong>, presided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year marked their&nbsp;<strong>fifth<\/strong>&nbsp;memorial celebration, and it was a beautiful team effort. The local coordinator,&nbsp;<strong>Armando Gonzalez, with his wife, Linda,<\/strong> led the entrance procession, followed by members of the local center and Fr. Fabian. After the procession, Fr. Fabian offered a brief reflection on the purpose of the gathering\u2014reminding everyone that they were united in prayer as they remembered Fr. Avelino and their fellow Cooperators who had gone before them into God&#8217;s embrace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cooperators prayed that the memory of their loved ones would remain a light on their paths, and that <strong>Mary, Help of Christians<\/strong>, would continue with them in eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the Mass, the community gathered for a shared meal, reminiscing and exchanging stories about those they remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-videopress jetpack-videopress-player
