First Tamale Festival leaves attendees wanting more
We went to the Tamale Festival in downtown Gilroy (Oct. 18) and there's a lot for them to learn. They ought to send a group to Indio, outside of Palm Springs, and see how they run theirs. The first weekend in December is always the Tamale Festival in Indio and they have learned to run a tamale festival. In the beginning it wasn't so hot, but in time it got better and better and I'm sure this one will too. But there were only two booths with tamales and they ran out. It could've been a fun day with all the cars and such, but no tamales, so we went to Mi Pueblo and they were out too. So we went to Taco Bell and had a taco. There were no tamales available. I'm sure it could be a great event for Gilroy
Priest returns to Gilroy’s St. Mary Church
Each spring, Bishop Patrick McGrath formulates a list of priests who will be assigned to different churches in the Diocese of San Jose. Then in July these priests must pull up stakes and move to a new parish. The process may be painful, as they leave behind familiar surroundings, friends and colleagues to face the unknown in a new rectory, church and community.
