Modern medical research and technology confirms more and more each day the belief that all human life, even in its earliest stages, has a special dignity and sacredness because it contains the very image and likeness of God. In his address to the Congress on Embryo, Pope Benedict XVI confirmed in a very clear and strong manner that God loves humans from the very moment of their conceptions.

    REBUILING THE MISSION Our Story The European colonial settlement of Villa de San Agustín de Laredo was founded in 1755 by Don Tomás Sánchez. At that time the area was part of the Nuevo Santander region in the Spanish colony of New Spain. Villa de San Agustín de Laredo was named after Laredo, Cantabria, Spain and in honor of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Ministering to the needs of the citizens at the time was the Franciscan Pastor of Revilla (now Guerrero, Mexico) but, as the spiritual needs of Laredoans increased, it was clear that a resident priest would be necessary. In December of 1759 a large contingent of Laredoans petitioned Bishop Fray Francisco de San Buenaventura Martinez de Tejada to send a priest for the 270 citizens living on both the northern and southern banks of the Rio Grande. Sanchez told the Bishop that a chapel was already under construction and that, although the citizens were very poor, they would be willing to pay 150 pesos annually and furnish the most essential vestments for Sunday Mass. Apparently, the Bishop was moved by their plight and agreed to offer the extra funds to provide a priest. On January 6, 1760, the founding date of the parish of San Agustín de Laredo, over 250 years ago, a new priest arrived from Boca de Leones (now Villaldama, Mexico). The fact that a diocesan priest was assigned to work with the then Hispanic community of Laredo is important because, at the time, Hispanic Catholics were historically served by religious order priests. In fact, the only other Hispanic community served by diocesan priests in the Southwestern United States at the time was in the Diocese of San Antonio.
