Updates

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

April 25: St. Mark / San Marcos

Today we celebrate the Feastday of the Gospel writer St. Mark, who wrote the earliest of our four Gospels. Testimonies from the early Church describe St. Mark as an assistant to St. Peter. His help probably included translating St. Peter’s Aramaic sermons so that the all Christians (especially former Gentiles) could understand him. According to […]

April 24: The Acts of the Apostles, part 3

April 21: The Day of the Lord

A Prayer for Good Shepherd Sunday: “O God, you never cease to call your people, even those far away, for it is your will that all be drawn into one fold. Attune our ears to the voice of your Son,  the Good Shepherd, who leads us always to you, so that we may find under […]

20 de abril: El Día del Señor

Hay dos experiencias básicas, fundamentales, y profundas que todo cristiano debe tener en su vida, si quiere considerarse tal. La primera es sentir a Cristo vivo, Resucitado de entre los muertos. La segunda es sentirse hijo/hija de Dios y, como tal, llamado a compartir con Cristo esa nueva vida. Esto se puede explicar, se puede […]
