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.

What's Happening

July 20 / 20 de julio: Good Soil / La Tierra Buena

Nuestra vida abierta a Dios, como “la tierra buena” (según Mateo 13, 1-9) hace que su Palabra pueda dar fruto en nosotros, con una vida reconciliada, humanizada, y humanizadora en Cristo y en su Evangelio. Cristo nos llama a reconocer que a veces somos tierra reseca, o llena de piedras, o cargada de espinos… Y […]

July 18-19: Peaceful, Steady, and Calm Perseverance

It is possible that many of us have been surprised on occasion by how God works so dramatically in our lives. It is unrealistic, however, to expect that God will reveal Himself to us in dramatic, life changing, and mighty ways all the time. While it is true that God works in this way, it […]

18-19 de julio: La Gran Familia de Dios

Nos identificamos más fácilmente con ella: trabajadora, dispuesta, acogedora, y pendiente de lo que hace falta para que el ilustre invitado (su amigo Jesús) esté a gusto. María en […]

July 16-17: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

In our very action-oriented society we may tend to sympathize with Martha slaving away in the kitchen while her sister Mary seems to just sit looking dreamily into Jesus’ eyes. The situation may look less than ideal, but we must remember that the Gospel includes this episode in the life of Jesus in order to […]

July 15: St. Bonaventure

The Church gladly celebrates today the Feastday of St. Bonaventure. He was a contemporary of St. Thomas Aquinas (they received their Doctoral degrees at the same time) and he also developed a friendship with St. Louis, King of France. In 1257, St. Bonaventure was chosen to serve as the superior of the Friars Minor (the […]
