St Joseph Catholic Parish — Local services in Surfside

This church does not go by the will of God am sorry to say and their pastor should be removed.They were tenting to fumigate the church yesterday and a ton of animal advocates pleaded with the church to stop the tenting, including the church's own parishioners. The Pastor Juan J. Sosa was aware of this and he still proceeded with the tenting. The sad part is the pastor knew about these cat that they were in the crawl space and if the parishioners would have not said anything and raised their voice on Facebook, he would have gassed them all and it would have gone quietly.

He feels probably that mentally he might be superior .he cares a lot for the riche of the church that donate a lot of money to run the church. He probably comes from a family that is well Todo.

Pero Dios lol escogio havi en la vina del senor are people of different back grounds and different temperaments .let's pray for him and people like him to see there erros become more human and humble.
