The Statue of Our Lady and the new banner of Cubanos Disterrados was blessed by Mons. Perez Pastor of St Lazaro's Church and cheered on by over 300 parishioners that attended the noon departure of Our Lady's statue to another parish in SW Miami, where Our Lady will be visiting several other parishes through March 23, 2009.
