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

March 4-5: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

Based on the Israelites’ 40-year sojourn in the desert and Jesus’ “forty days and forty nights” journeying through a similar desert, the word “journey” has become intimately connected to our experience of life in general, and Lent in particular. We believe our life’s journey is going somewhere: instead of simply terminating with death (full stop, finis), […]

4-5 de marzo: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Hay momentos en la vida de cada uno en que vemos dificultades frente a nosotros, especialmente cuando afrontamos decisiones importantes. Jesús, por su parte, vio enfrente de sí una oposición creciente por parte de los líderes religiosos del pueblo: ellos le matarían si él prosiguiera su misión.

March 2: Seek the Lord

On a couple of occasions in the Gospels, Jesus encourages His followers to be seekers, “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7, 7-12) Obviously, we are counted among the Lord’s followers. But what are we to seek? What […]

2 de marzo: Oración y Adoración

Las disciplinas cuaresmales son la oración, el ayuno, y la caridad. En específico, la oración da a conocer toda la riqueza de la bondad de Dios para con nosotros. Dios no puede rechazarnos cuando nos volvemos con confianza a Él desde nuestra situación humana, desde nuestras necesidades, y también desde nuestras alegrías, incluso desde nuestro […]
