Spreading the love of Christ to our our Archdiocese Venezuelan Mission The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has staffed and supported parishes in the diocese of Ciudad Guayana in Venezuela since 1970. We hope you enjoy these “Did you know?” papers to have a better understanding of life in Venezuela and to strengthen connections between the parishes of the Archdiocese and their archdiocesan mission during our 50th anniversary year.
