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

December 17-18: The Day of the Lord

St. Matthew gives us a great gift today (1, 18-24), unique to this Gospel. The gift is Joseph. In St. Matthew’s Gospel, the central human character is not so much Mary. It is Joseph who receives a message from an angel. St. Matthew calls it a “dream.” St. Matthew always has one eye on the […]

December 16-17: Preparing for Sunday’s Mass

Although we may face financial problems, job insecurity, tensions in the family, health concerns, insurance concerns, and all the stress that surrounds the holidays, our hearts still know that we are called to be trusting and faithful – in good times and bad, in sickness and in health.

Estas preguntas ponen nerviosas e inquietas a muchas personas, ya que se […]

December 14: Healing and Liberation

Already this Advent, we have seen how our ancestors in the faith had some expectations about how and in what way the promised and long-awaited Messiah would appear. Many of their thoughts were associated with political power, domination, and the destruction of traditional enemies. Instead, He came to heal people who were sick, weak, or […]

December 13: Simple, Poor, and Humble

Advent is teaching us, yet again, that Jesus will live among us more fully if we are simple, poor, and humble … and if we are searching with Him to discover the will of the Father. Psalm 34 tells us “The Lord hears the cry of the poor.” According to Pope Francis: “Those who have […]
