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.

What's Happening

September 24-25: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

This Sunday’s Scriptures provide a warning: that the selfish and extravagant use of God’s blessings, like wealth, with no share going to the poor and the needy, is a serious sin deserving eternal punishment. God’s Holy Word stresses the truth that wealth without active mercy for the poor is great wickedness. It warns us against […]

24-25 de septiembre: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

También encontramos a Dios, el Padre, afirmando al Hijo […]

22 de septiembre: El Otoño

Hoy marcamos el empiezo del otoño. Aunque las temperaturas no han bajado, ya los árboles empiezan a madurar sus hojas, los días se acortan, y las aves empiezan a emigrar. Todo empieza a cambiar, y pronto los colores llenarán las montañas que lentamente se desvestirán. El otoño es una estación de cambios sutiles y lentos, […]

September 22: Autumn

Today marks the arrival of the season of autumn (or fall), traditionally seen as a period of changes leading to the dark of winter. In Holidays and Holy Nights, the author Christopher Hill points out that for Christians who observe the liturgical year, autumn is actually the beginning of a cycle. He suggests that “the […]
