Maria Cristina Mendoza returned home to God on April 19, 2024 at the age of 64, surrounded by family in Miami, Florida. In remembrance of her life and all that have been positively effected by Maria, the Mendoza family wishes to collect donations to a cause that was near and dear to her heart. Father Hubert Reiner of Parroquia Santa Cruz provided a very fond recent memory in joining her daughter, Ana Mendoza and Will Patterson in marriage. While there, Maria fell in love with the mission of the church and always wanted to contribute to the current construction of a new church. We aim to make that dream a reality, as she hopefully looks down on us proudly and with a smile on her face.

A visitation will be held from 10am-4pm on Sunday, April 28th at Van Orsdel Coral Gables located at 4600 SW 8th Street, Coral Gables, Florida.
