We gotta pray jus’ ta make it today!

What is it with Franciscans and rap music? You have probably heard of Fr. Stan Fortuna. He is a Franciscan from Brooklyn who has recorded several rap albums and works with inner city youth through rap music. Well rap is also big among Latinos in California so here is Fr. Masseo Gonzalez and his website El Padrecito.com called “Consejos for the Homies”. Fr. Gonzalez’s brother is the creator of those popular figurines known as Homies (also called “Mijitos/as”). His website contains a forum (some homies are pretty vulgar so be aware that it is a place for young people to feel free to share), a video homily, and a link to his rap project “Hiz Kidz Club”. Check it out, yo!
