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

November 5: A Rebirth of Hope

Many months ago, we proposed a revival for and resurrection of, if you will, the abandoned word “respair.” It is related to the often-used “despair” – which has gotten more than its fair share of use since the worldwide pandemic started. Respair is what they call an “obsolete” word, a word that is no longer […]

5 de noviembre: Jesús Siempre Nos Está Enseñando

Dios nos ha confiado mucho, como para estar permanentemente agradecidos: nos ha dado nuestros talentos y cualidades, nuestros familiares y amigos, tantas otras personas buenas a nuestro lado, las riquezas de la naturaleza, y mucho más.

3 de noviembre: El Mes de los Difuntos

Para muchas personas (nosotros, por ejemplo), todo el mes de noviembre es un tiempo dedicado a la conmemoración de todos los fieles difuntos. En el hemisferio norte estamos en el corazón del otoño. La naturaleza vive su propia “muerte.” Todo (la luz solar, las hojas de los árboles) va muriendo lentamente. Podríamos decir que el […]

November 2 / 2 de noviembre: All Souls / Fieles Difuntos

Yesterday we celebrated the feast of All Saints. Today is the commemoration of All Souls. The Church often speaks of the totality of the baptized as “the Communion of Saints.” The word ‘Saints’ is used in the Scriptural sense, as found in the New Testament when it generally refers to baptized members of the Christian […]
