Although the Episcopal Church in Cuba is more than one hundred years old, it is still a missionary Church. It is made of about 50 congregations (both parishes and missions) spread along the island. The number of clergy goes up to 30, and there are 4 seminarians who are being trained for ordained ministry in our diocesan/ecumenical Seminary in Matanzas, near Havana. We also have a program called "The New Ministries" to train Lay Ministers and Permanent Deacons which have had a great success graduating last year almost 50 students.
The Church is growing in numbers, but more important than that, it is also growing in commitment to our Lord in order to be, as he asked, "the salt and the yeast in our society".
We thank our Good Lord for all the support we are receiving from our Companion Diocese in Florida, particularly through its parishes like Christ Church Ponte Vedra Beach.
