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

January 22-23: Preparing for Sunday’s Mass

The Gospel for this weekend’s Mass is taken from two places in St. Luke’s Gospel. We start with part of chapter 1, but then we leap forward to chapter 4. We leapfrog, so to speak, from the opening paragraph of St. Luke’s Gospel to Jesus’ first public appearance in His hometown of Nazareth. In between, […]

January 22 / 22 de enero: Day of Prayer for the Protection of Life

The Church’s pro-life convictions are a response of love for both mothers and their children in the womb, for fathers, and for the wholeness and holiness of family life.

En ella vemos que también los jóvenes son capaces de adoptar difíciles […]

January 20: Christ Must Increase, We Must Decrease

Jealousy can be a terrible thing. It is closely linked with one’s own insecurity and difficulty in accepting what one is. It is very difficult to see others surpassing the skills of which we are proud. It is difficult to see people turning their attention away from us to others. It is difficult for us […]

20 de enero: Nuestro Discipulado

En los Evangelios en el Nuevo Testamento de la Biblia, hay muchos momentos en los que Jesús prohíbe que los demonios expulsados (y otras personas más) lo diesen a conocer. Es que en Jesús hay que creer después de un encuentro personal con Él, y no solo por los milagros. “Vivir según el Evangelio” significa […]
