I thank God and the Ever-Merciful St. Andrew for allowing me to survive the back nine holes at the Tubac Golf Resort and to shoot a miraculous 4 over par on May 2, 2014. In gratitude and thanks overflowing my heart, I, Sergio Mendes, now dedicate this retablo.

As a poor young girl, Maria Guzman dreamed of owning many pairs of fancy shoes. After passionately invoking Our Merciful Lady of Prada, aria found employment at Payless Shoe Store where she is able to purchase a wide variety of the most fashionable styles at a substantial employee discount. For this wonderful event she is most exceedingly grateful and she dedicates this retablo.
