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

19 de febrero: El Día del Señor

La primera lectura de la Misa de hoy (del Levítico 19), contiene la llamada a ser santos, porque y como Dios lo es. Es un imperativo (sean santos) y un futuro (serán santos). Es una orden, así nos lo manda a Dios; es una meta, pues lo seremos de forma progresiva, sin llegar nunca a […]

February 19: The Day of the Lord

Regardless of what we think about “climate change,” there is no denying the “heat” of the contemporary political climate (especially in Washington, DC) … and the vitriol and venom that suffuse it. Believe it or not, that is much like the context in which Jesus counsels His followers (including us) to love our enemies and […]

February 18-19: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

18-19 de febrero: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Jesucristo continúa con el Sermón de la Montaña que venimos escuchando estos domingos (Mateo 5, 38-48). El amor al prójimo (amigo y enemigo) no se producen por valorar positivamente sus personas, que en sí ya sería una razón suficientemente válida. Todos somos hijos e hijas de Dios y estamos llamados a la comunión con Él. […]

February 16-17: God’s Grace, Our Perseverance

“You must accept your cross; if you bear it courageously, it will carry you to Heaven.” – St. John Vianney Jesus says in Mark 8, 34 through 9, 1: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” The season of Lent doesn’t start until next week, but […]

16 de febrero: “Tú eres el Cristo”

En Marcos 8, 27-33, Jesús preguntó a sus discípulos quién pensaban que era Él, y San Pedro dijo: “Tú eres el Cristo,” es decir el Salvador prometido. Pero cuando Jesús les dijo que Él salvaría a su pueblo por su sufrimiento y muerte antes de su Resurrección, el mismos San Pedro protestó. No podía aceptar […]
