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 10: St. Leo the Great

As we approach the end of the Church’s Year, we hear more and more often how Jesus said that the Kingdom cannot be found by looking around for telltale signs so that we can say it is “here” or “there.” In Luke 17, for example, He says, “the Reign of God is already in your […]

November 9: Basilica of St. John Lateran

On the Church’s calendar, today is marked by the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Most people probably think that St. Peter’s Basilica is the Pope’s main church in Rome.

Al mismo tiempo, la crisis de abusos […]

November 7: Stumbling Blocks

A “scandal” is literally a trap or stumbling block. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines it as any saying, action, or omission which causes an occasion of sin for another. Over the years, the news has reported many “scandals” on the part of Catholic leaders – bishops, priests, brothers, and sisters. It is difficult […]

November 5-6: The Day of the Lord

The journey of Jesus to Jerusalem is complete! When the final chapters of the Gospel begin to unfold, Jesus is there in the Temple. In St. Luke’s Gospel, the Temple is the place it all began and the place where it all ends. Like bookends, St. Luke frames his Gospel from the moment the old […]
