Mask use in our parish church is optional but recommended. Masks are recommended in order to protect the more vulnerable in our community, like children and those with compromised immunities. If you are sick in any way or even feeling a little “under the weather,” please stay home! Our concern is for your good health and the good health of those in the pews around you. Thank you.

What's Happening

March 17: Saint Patrick / San Patricio

Although his feastday is officially replaced by the Church’s celebration of the Fifth Sunday of Lent, we still celebrate today the life and death of St. Patrick, the fifth century bishop and patron of Ireland, whose holiness set the example for many of the Church’s future saints. He is said to have been born around […]

March 17: The Day of the Lord

In Sunday’s Gospel (taken from John 12), we read: “Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much […]

17 de marzo: El Día del Señor

Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it and will glorify it again.’ The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; […]

16-17 de marzo: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Como vamos a escuchar en la Misa el domingo, con una sencilla parábola (Juan 12, 20-33), Jesús explicó el sentido de su vida y de su muerte. Sólo muriendo y dando la vida por los demás se produce fruto, es una vida fecunda. Querer vivir a cualquier precio, agarrarse desesperadamente a la vida, es condenarse […]

March 15: Look Beyond / Mirar Más Allá

In the final weeks of the Lenten season, the Church offers Gospel readings for the daily Mass (and on Sundays, too) almost exclusively from the Gospel of St. John. One of the common phrases used by St. John is “the Jews.” By that phrase, St. John nearly always means the Jewish religious leaders. His Gospel […]
