ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Where else AROUND Costa Rica are there catholic masses in English??

Ahhh – that seems like one of the best kept secrets as I called the main cathedral in Costa Rica (la Catedral Metropolitana) to find out about other services AROUND Costa Rica (I'm STILL trying to get the name of the priest that does this service!!) and they referred me to Confidencia Episcopal (or something like that - 2-221-3053) but they had NO ONE in their WHOLE office that spoke English and the lady said there were NO catholic masses in English in Costa Rica (that part I KNOW she was able to make sense of my Viclish) – even though I told her I knew of two. 

So if someone else would like to help others out there that would like to help me compile this list of Services and Masses around Costa Rica – in ALL religions and Spiritual nature, I’d REALLY appreciate it (as would MANY others!!!).

(I posted on the archdiocese's Facebook page so HOPEFULLY I can fill in more blanks!)

INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT CATHOLIC CHURCHES AND COSTA RICA
Nearly all Catholic churches in Costa Rica face the West - so that people sitting in the church service can face the EAST - which is where Jerusalem is located and where Christ was crucified.
Every town in Costa Rica has its own plaza or little park in front of a catholic church and usually a soccer field is on site or close by.
