I give thanks to Saint Martin the Cavalryman for the miracle that I’m selling all the carnitas I prepare, so I can make money for my daughter Chayito’s first communion. I’m even getting orders from the entire neighborhood.

I offer this retablo to Saint Francis of Assisi because my liquor shop is very profitable and it’s the most popular shop in the town.

Raul Menendez opened his hot dog & hamburgers stand and entrusted himself to Father Jesus. And his business is going wonderfully. He offers this retablo and thanks for such a big help.

With this retablo, the young man Luis Ramirez thanks Saint Martin the Cavalryman for the big success of his women’s clothing shop.

Marina Perez worked in a fish shop, and she came home having a fishy smell. Her husband didn’t want to approach her, and Marina felt offended and sad. Then, with all her savings, she opened a flower shop. So now she smells like roses and jasmine. And her husband even offered her to have a new baby. She thanks Saint Anthony because now she is happy.

My son studied to be a dentist, like my husband. But he was very annoyed to look in open mouths, and he felt unhappy. But one day he discovered that his real calling is to be a pastry-cook. He makes amazingly wonderful pastries and cakes. He even opened pastry-shop, and it is very popular. I thank, because he’s happy making such tasty cakes.

Laura and Catalina Peña were in a bad financial position. So, since they were good pastry cooks, they had an idea of selling cakes. They thank St. Paschal Baylon, a patron saint of cooks, because now they make enough money to support themselves and even to save something for hard times and also for having fun sometimes.

After few years of marriage my husband was taken by the sea. He left me alone with our little boy whom I had to feed. I didn’t know a lot about fishing, but I took the boat and the net and went to the sea. I asked St. Barbara for help, and she decided to help me. My net was filled with fish. So, without great effort, I managed to have a good yield. In that way I was able to collect enough money to open a fish shop at the town market.

The Dominican Sisters Convent thanks Saint Paschal Baylon because they received a big order on eggnog and mole from some foreigners who remained delighted with its taste.

Cholula, Puebla

I give thanks to Saint Martin because things are going well in my butcher shop in the town’s market, so I can support my wife, my four kids and also the fifth baby who is on his way to be born.
