San Daniel (1023 words)
San Daniel was chosen as our sister parish after much exploration because of its charisma as a community, its connection to the Congregation of Holy Cross (who serve the University of Portland) and St. Jude parishioner connections.
San Daniel is made up of about 250 families, and is a “chapel” or “Capilla” that is part of a larger umbrella parish called San Roque, which is in Peñalolén, one of the poorest communities of Santiago.
San Daniel community members are very enthusiastic about sharing with us their efforts to build the kingdom of God as a largely lay-coordinated Church.
