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

June 20 / 20 de junio: Juneteenth Holiday (bilingüe)

On June 19th 157 years ago, the last African-American chattel slaves were freed in the United States, pursuant to General Order No. 3 issued in the state of Texas by Gen. Gordon Granger of the Union Army. Juneteenth, marking that declaration of freedom, has long been celebrated in the African-American community and it has now […]

19 de junio: Fiesta Eucarística

La Fiesta del Corpus (Fiesta Eucarística) quería ser una prolongación del Jueves Santo.

Could it mean more than one thing? Is […]

18-19 de junio: Preparándonos Para Celebrar La Misa Dominical

 ¿Qué pasa cuando usamos lenguaje como “oír Misa,” o “asistir a Misa,” o “estar en Misa?”  Es más difícil “participar” en la Misa, nunca “entramos” en el misterio, es más difícil “vivir” la alianza nueva y eterna por la que el amor que Jesús nos ofrece se convierte en manantial de amor y de vida […]

17 de junio: Pasión Por Dios

¿Cuáles son las cosas que nos preocupan, que dan vueltas constantemente en nuestra mente? La respuesta a esa pregunta nos indicará cuáles son nuestros valores, “dónde está nuestro corazón.” Para muchos generosos y comprometidos creyentes, estos valores (o mejor, contravalores) raramente serán tan rastreros y groseros, como la búsqueda loca del mero placer y el […]
