One song has stuck with Julio Cuellar Gonzales for practically his entire life, following him from a small town in Bolivia all the way to Virginia. With lyrics inspired by the Our Father prayer and the melody of Paul Simon’s “The Sound of Silence,” the song has been widespread throughout Latin America and U.S. Latino communities for the last few decades, said Pedro Rubalcava, the director of Oregon Catholic Press’ label group. Cuellar recorded a viral cover in 2020, but, despite its beloved status, the version has always been controversial, raising questions about its use in liturgy and copyright.

Company Generates Record Annual Revenue of $11.7M and Net Distributable Earnings of $0.4M
When the Houston Astros take on the Colorado Rockies this weekend, it will be the seventh regular-season series played in Mexico. Major League Baseball’s presence in the country, however, goes far beyond that. Mexico became one of only six countries in the world with an MLB office in 2016. For Rodrigo Fernandez, the head of the organization south of the border, the regular-season series may be the biggest event, but it’s far from the only one held in the country. The MLB office runs a program called First Pitch to promote the game among kids and holds the MLB Cup, a nation-wide tournament for 11 and 12 year olds that recently just finished its fifth championship.
