Freedom Fast and Mass at La Ermita on September 20th

A complete fast is a complete and literal denial of self. It is the truest prayer. - Mohandas Gandhi


The Cuban exile community's spiritual battle for a free Cuba is carried out with prayer and fasting. Join us in fasting and prayer for the nonviolent democratic resistance in Cuba, that their demand for a general amnesty for all political prisoners be granted, that the systematic violation of human rights be ended, that a democratic transition and an authentic national reconciliation take place.
