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

12-13 de febrero: Preparándonos Para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

El Papa Francisco, en su catequesis sobre el Padrenuestro, comentaba: Hay una ausencia impresionante en el texto del Padrenuestro. Si yo os preguntara cuál es esa ausencia, ¿qué falta? Una palabra. Una palabra por la que en nuestro tiempo (quizás siempre ha sido así) todos sienten una gran estima. Cuál es esa palabra que falta […]

Week of February 7-11: Time to Take a Break / Vamos a Tomar un Descanso

Over the next week, we are going to take a break from “posting” here on the website.  We will be back next weekend.

5-6 febrero: Preparándonos Para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

February 5-6: Preparing for Sunday’s Mass

All three of the people the Church puts before us in the readings this Sunday are reluctant: the prophet Isaiah, St. Paul, and St. Peter. Yet, they are all chosen by God. Each of them acknowledges his unworthiness and inadequacy and, from a spiritual point of view, this is a good starting point. God knew […]

5 febrero: ¿Cómo Leer Los Evangelios? (parte 2)

Quisiéramos invitarlos a que adquieran un nuevo hábito: empiecen a leer los Evangelios, de principio a fin. Lean una parte todos los días, pero asegúrense de leerlos completos. Lean con espíritu de oración. Pídanle a Jesús, con sencillez, que Él les hable al corazón a través de las palabras que aparecen en cada página. Pidan […]

February 5: Reading the Gospels (part 2)

Have you ever read a Gospel from beginning to end? Whether you have or not, why not give it a try? We can read a portion each day, which is a worthy goal, but the challenge will be to read it straight through, no matter how long it takes. We are accustomed to hearing short […]
