Rev. Erlin Garcia

The Rev. Erlin Garcia is the Rector at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission Nombre de Dios in the Diocese of St. Augustine, FL. A member of the Immaculate Conception Religious Community, Fr. Erlin came to Our Lady of La Leche in June 2018, after eight years as Pastor at St. Margarita Maria Church in the Diocese of Gary, IN. He was ordained a priest in Colombia on June 16, 2007. Fr. Erlin is excited to share this journey of faith, hope and love with his fellow St. Augustine Adorers on this Jubilee Pilgrimage. “The fundamental reason behind this Pilgrimage is to visit the miracles of the Eucharist. These places are significant because they renew us: The miracles increase our faith and love of the Holy Eucharist, reinforcing the Holy presence of Jesus in the Eucharist,” Fr. Erlin said. “As these Eucharistic miracles increase our faith, they give us hope that one day we, too, can become Saints.”
