Creo que no. Sin embargo su ordenacion propone un futuro para los Hispanos en nuestra Iglesia particular.
I don't think so. However his ordination proposes a future for Hispanic people in our particular ritual Church.

It's wonderful that the (Ruthenian) Byzantine Church is so welcoming of Hispanic peoples!
A good example for all our Churches!
Are there other Hispanic Clergy in the US byzantine churches?

Our priest, Fr. Ramon Gonzalez is a Dominican Priest who is biritual with faculties through the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh of the Byzantine Catholic Church in American. He is a San Antonio, native whose ethnicity is Mexican American. He is a good guy too by the way.

Bingo. Let's spend some time today praying for him & indeed all priests; especially those who are the most troubled and/or sick or involved in stuff they ought not to be; and reflecting on what sacerdotal ministry means.
It couldn't hurt anything.

Many blessed years to Father Diodoro.
The Holy Spirit has given Father special gifts; he will be a special priest.

This interests me because our priest is recently retired... I wonder where in the Phoenix eparchy Fr. Mendoza will land.
