5 /5 Leah Socorro Cayanan: I will always hold San Martin de Porres special in my heart. When a number of us Filipinos first arrived here in Laredo 21 years ago, it was here that we celebrated our first gathering. Over the years, the parish has been generously accommodating the Filipino community. They have opened their doors to us and their hearts as well. Msgr. Alex is so kind to us. And so are Julie Saldana, the former coordinator of the religious education program and Chris Martinez, the incumbent coordinator. Today I had the opportunity to meet with Chris and the positive feedback he gave regarding our presentation is so heartwarming and encouraging. Thank you, SMDP, for your love and generosity.
