Join us for the ordination of Deacon-elect Leigh Mollet on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at Mother Cabrini Mission in Cuenca.
Mother Cabrini Mission is a newly organized church where all of God’s children are made to feel welcome. We are a church created for those who have been hurt by religion in the past, including people who may be divorced, the LGBTQ+ and straight alike, the deaf, the blind, the disabled, HIV+, immigrants, the poor, the homeless, individuals with alcohol and drug addictions, those who have overcome those addictions, and those questioning or seeking God. All are invited to come together to learn, love, seek, and be touched by an all-loving community.
We believe our church can radically transform communities toward belonging. Signing for the deaf will be offered so the deaf community in Cuenca can actively participate in the liturgy, understand the readings, and unite in prayer and worship. Our members are committed to bringing Christ to everyone, regardless of how they communicate.
The church is named Mother Cabrini Mission in honor of Francis Xavier Cabrini, the first American Saint and Patron Saint of Immigrants. Most of our community members are immigrants from North America and Europe, making this an appropriate choice.
The celebration begins at 11 AM with Holy Mass and the ordination of Deacon-elect Leigh Mollet. Afterwards, we will gather for coffee and a potluck lunch.
We are located in a former home at General Torres 15-88 and Alberto Munoz Vernaza in Cuenca.
We profess a more progressive theology, ordain men and women, offer open communion, and are fully affirming and inclusive of the LGBTQ community.
