It is sad that the priest who says the mass in Spanish has not clue a bout getting the followers. Today sunday palm's day and with the amount of worshippers, he failed to give us a beautiful mass. His horrible singing killed the magic of the mass.

This Ecuatorian priest had not passion and love for his devotion...
