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 30: The Sixth Day of Christmas (Holy Family)

On the first Sunday after Christmas Day, we traditionally celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: “When a Sunday does not occur between December 25 and January 1, the Feast of the Holy Family is celebrated on December 30.” Let us rejoice today as we celebrate the […]

29 de diciembre: El Quinto Día de la Navidad

Según Lucas 2, 22-35, Dios viene a su pueblo como de incógnito, como un niño llevado en los brazos de su madre. Simeón, el anciano en el templo, tomó a Jesús en sus brazos y reconoció a este niño como al Salvador esperado por los judíos en el Antiguo Testamento, pero, al mismo tiempo también, […]

La venida de Jesús fue el principio de una “lucha-a-muerte” entre los poderes del mal y el reino de la […]

December 28: The Fourth Day of Christmas

A rabbi was once asked about the origin of the Jewish high holy days. The questioner was curious about the various Jewish “feasts,” like Yom Kippur and Hannukah. The rabbi said, tongue in cheek, “All of our high holy days eventually come back to this – Someone tried to kill us. We survived. So, we […]

27 de diciembre / December 27: El Tercer Día / The Third Day

La Iglesia Universal celebra hoy la Fiesta de San Juan, Apóstol. “Íntimo del Señor, obsesionado con el amor.” Éstos pueden ser muy bien los rasgos propios de San Juan. Él había experimentado en su propia persona lo que significa ser amado por Jesús y, a cambio, amarle. Era el hombre que predicaba amor. Las palabras […]
