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

8 de octubre: Poniendo La Fe En Práctica

Cuando hablamos de la importancia de “poner en práctica” nuestra fe, lo más importante es saber que Dios está con nosotros siempre, nunca nos abandona. Él nos regala el don de la fe, que necesita ser alimentada para que vaya creciendo en nosotros y que es dada a quien se lo pide de corazón. “La […]

October 8: Putting Actions Behind Our Faith

Although popularly attributed to G.K. Chesterton, the following words may in fact have come from an American evangelist* (as early as 1905): “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a stable makes you a horse or going to a garage makes you an automobile.” Instead of just “going to […]

Dios es bueno, ¿no? ¿Cómo  puede resistirse […]

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 […]
