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

November 20: The Day of the Lord

The Old English roots of the word “lord” are found along the lines of “master of a household, ruler, guardian, keeper, and superior.” In fact, the Old English hlaford is a contraction of the earlier hlafweard, literally “one who guards the loaves.” When the Scriptures speak of Jesus as “the Lord of our lives,” all […]

November 19-20: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

November 17: Blessed Hope

In a recent essay called “Blessed Hope,” America Magazine editor in chief Fr. Matt Malone, S.J. explores Hope. He writes: “Faith and politics are not merely complimentary; they are inextricably intertwined. Each needs the other to be fully what it is meant to be. The raison dêtre (reason for being) of all political questions is […]

17 de noviembre: Santa Isabel de Hungría

“¿Cuál es el lugar más rico de la tierra?” preguntó el maestro en la escuela. Los estudiantes nombraron varias ciudades de la tierra. El maestro descartó todas sus respuestas y dijo: “El lugar más rico de la tierra es el cementerio. Allí yacen enterrados muchos ricos talentos y posibilidades nunca realizadas.” ¡Qué verdad! Dios envía […]
