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

6 de octubre: Padre Nuestro

Según el Evangelio de San Lucas 11, 1-4, los discípulos le pidieron a Jesús que les enseñara a orar. Esto es, en verdad, lo que nosotros también deberíamos pedirle siempre: que nuestra oración sea amplia y profunda como la suya, dando honor y gloria al Padre, y llevándole el torrente de las necesidades y de […]

October 6: Our Father

On a couple of occasions in the Gospels, the first followers of Jesus offer Him a request. It might seem to us a strange request: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Is it not true that Jews prayed every day? Is it not true that these very followers had prayed since childhood? Surely, they knew how […]

October 5 / 5 de octubre: Work and Pray / Trabaja y Reza

Abrazó la pobreza y vivió una vida Evangélica, predicando a todos el amor de Dios. Dio a sus seguidores unas sabias normas, que luego […]

2-3 de octubre: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

“No es bueno que el hombre esté solo,” nos va a decir el  Libro del Génesis en la Misa del domingo.  “Hay muchos tipos de soledad: está la ‘soledad social,’ en que la persona no tiene a nadie; la ’emocional,”‘en que nos sentimos rechazados y echamos de menos, y un tercer tipo de soledad de […]

October 2-3: Preparing for this Sunday’s Mass

“In the Time of Pandemic” by Kitty O’Meara And the people stayed home. And they listened, and read books, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And they listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the […]
