This coming Monday, November 1, 2021 at 7:00 pm, I will be hosting a livestream featuring Mike MacDonald, our Mission Mexico On-site Coordinator, and a friend of Mission Mexico, Celso Guevara, to discuss the significance of the celebration of the Day of the Dead in Mexico. They will be at Celso’s house in Metlatonoc which overlooks the main cemetery. The livestream is going to be viewable on the Facebook page of the Diocese of Calgary and the diocesan website. With the heavy reliance on technology to work that evening, we appreciate your prayers! Metlatonoc is one of the poorest municipalities in the country, and Mission Mexico has been active there in three ways: providing university bursaries to several students from that area; supporting the Champagnat High School of the Mountain, where hundreds of students from Metlatonoc have studied in the past fifteen years; providing health care, clothing, food, etc., to families during emergency situations. One of the interesting details about Metlatonoc is that the town has grown, and what used to be a cemetery above the town is now a cemetery within the town (although a fair distance from the town center). Celso works in Oxnard, California for more than half of the year as a fieldworker. Every year he returns to Mexico to be with his mother for the Day of the Dead. He is of the Na Savi culture. Na Savi means "people of the rain," and their language is tu'un savi. The people are more popularly known as "Mixtecos," but that was a name given to them by the Aztec Empire, so the people themselves prefer their own designation; "Mixteco" comes from a nahuatl expression meaning "people of the clouds" (and yes, they are high up).
