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

July 24: The Day of the Lord (Seventeenth Sunday of the Year)

Through His prayer, “the Our Father,” Jesus gives us a new vision of human relationships. He affirms that we all, irrespective of our color, creed or social background, are the children of God and, thereby, are brothers and sisters.

Gradual recognition and understanding, or in some cases blindness and misunderstanding, are a stage on the path to belief and […]

22 de julio: Santa María Magdalena

En contra de la creencia popular, basada en una “tradición” más bien tardía y solamente aceptada en la iglesia occidental, María Magdalena no es la mujer pecadora descrita en Lucas 7. Sabemos […]

July 21: Much More Than Words

Human communication depends on much more than words. Notice how different a conversation can be when harmony exists between people as opposed to when it is absent. If two parties, for example, share a common bond and wish nothing for the best for the other, whatever is being communicated has a greater likelihood of being […]
