ts during the liturgical celebration

. Specially when the Bishop William consecrated to Maria like deacon. In this picture we remembered when w

e prayed so that Maria is all a servant of the most needed, like Jesuschrist taught us. During the Homily the Bishop had made us remember the paper of deacon in the church. Deacon is a role in the Christian Church which is generally associated with service.

The delegation of the School San Mateo took a photography with the Bishop William and deacons from different countries. We can see in the picture our sister MARIA ANDIA (1), new deacon of The Anglican Church of Perú. She is wife of the Reverendo Juan Carlos Revilla, He is Anglican priest who works in the city of Arequipa. Also this day we displayed our new standard or banner(2)

The Students of the School San Mateo and the Teachers presented displayed dances of Peru. Dances of mountains of Peru. In this picture the professors dance “VALICHA”. Valicha is name of the female. A CUSCO woman.

Its name this writing in the heart of the man of cusco. It will go in his search and when not finding it this beautiful music will write. A full song of sadness and hope.

Our desire went to contribute to the joy of the Consecration of Maria Andia like Deacon

Everything I finalize in the joy of the Faith and with the dances of our towns of the mountain.
