When we arrived in SMA in ‘95 there were very few people who attended the English Mass. We grew a little...20 to 30 most Masses.
Fr Lance Oser came in November, 2011. His first Masses were at Las Monjas, taking Fr Rey's place. When Fr Rey wanted to return, Fr Lance and some of the congregation moved to Santa Ana Church on Insurgentes, next to the Biblioteca.
After a couple of years there, we moved to San Rafael (Santa Escuela), the chapel next to the Parroquia. Though this was a very visible location, the steep, irregular stairs and bells ringing every fifteen minutes were decided disadvantages.
We were happy to make our next move, in early 2015, to Templo San Juan de Dios where we are now. Fr Dante Gabriel Jiménez became our pastor shortly after we moved there and was with us for nearly ten years.
Our current pastor, Fr Josué Arellano Reynoso, came to us in March, 2025.
