I must admit, since coming to college my habit of church-going has become none.
The campus is surrounded by churches, synagogues, temples yet I have never stepped into one of them. So when my second podcast event at the Our Lady of Guadalupe church approached, a part of me was anxious to get back to that atmosphere.
Every year the OLoG hosts Jamaica (pronounced huh-my-kah) which means “bazaar” in Spanish.
Jamaica started out as a way to raise funds to pay back for the construction of the church way back when, but now it helps funds programs that the church organizes or helps with.
I got the feeling that those participating in Jamaica hardly saw it as a fundraiser. To me, it was a convergence of a community. One that is rarely noticed or talked about. Everything from the food to the musical performances showcase what the people of the church and the community were all about. It felt good to be back in that atmosphere, even if it was just as a spectator.
