Please take a moment to mark your calendar for the Magnificat Breakfasts by Magnificat Rochester Chapter and check out our scheduled guest speakers.
A Unique Person-to-Person Ministry for Catholic Women
Magnificat is a solidly Catholic ministry; in Rochester, we are approved by the Diocese of Rochester. Magnificat is born out of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and has been a focus for unity among women in the Church. It’s not about inflicting guilt, but meeting people where they are, like Mary did when she visited Elizabeth. Many have been wounded in some way by the Church or no longer feel a close relationship with God.
“My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my Savior…
God who is mighty has done great things for me, holy is His name.” Luke 1:46-49
Introducing our next speaker Fr. JORGE RAMIREZ
Fr. Jorge Ramirez is currently the Pastor at Most Holy Trinity in Webster, NY. He was born in the city of Medellín, Colombia, into a Catholic family, and has always been involved in the activities of the Church. He began his studies at the Conciliar Seminary of Medellín and the Pontifical Bolivarian University, where he earned his
bachelor’s degree and Licentiate in Philosophy and Education.
Fr. Ramirez traveled to the United States on August 26, 2009; studied English at St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry and later attended St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore, MD.
He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Rochester on June 4, 2016. Since then, Fr. Ramirez has served as a priest in different parishes and communities, including Holy Cross Church in Rochester, Our Lady of the Lakes in Penn Yan, N.E.T. Catholic in
Tompkins County, and Holy Trinity Church in Webster.
We look forward to hearing Father share his testimony how God has played such a vital role in his life.
