Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen — Attraction in Playa del Carmen

Nice and quite place to go pray, you can hear the bells ring before each mass, very well decorated with floors and candles. Exit the frenzy of the 5th avenue. There is a mass everyday at 20h00 and from 8-10-12-18-20h00 on Sunday.

Nos hace falta poner los pies en la tierra, como cuando andamos en la playa, sintiendo la arena, agua, calor, y ojalá comprendas que la ayuda y palabras a los indigentes o necesitados, ayuda más allá que al alma. Hoy fuera de una tienda de conveniencia, vi un hombre que decía era de Tamaulipas, enfermo, descalzo, le ayude con dinero y estreche sus manos, para desearle pronta recuperación y pueda...
