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

September 6 / 6 de septiembre: Labor Day / Día del Trabajador

Happy Labor Day! Did you know that, at every celebration of the Mass, the priest (audibly or inaudibly) prays these words at the altar? “Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will […]

4-5 de septiembre: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Para los judíos, los paganos eran seres impuros, porque no adoraban al Dios verdadero y tampoco cumplían los mandamientos. Curiosamente San Marcos nos sitúa hoy a Jesús en tierras paganas y estando allí, le presentan a un sordomudo. Jesús no les hace ningún asco y además cura al enfermo. Hace realidad la promesa de Isaías […]

September 4-5: Preparing for this Weekend’s Mass

September 2: Our Real Vocation

Some enterprise or some initiative that we had invested in may have come to nothing. The pandemic has certainly scuttled many of our plans over […]

1 de septiembre: Pidiendo por la Gente de Afganistán

Quisiéramos pedir a todos los miembros de la parroquia una intensificación de la oración especialmente para pedir a Dios por la paz en Afganistán, país que encara un oscuro futuro tras la toma del poder por parte de los extremistas talibanes. Todos estamos invitados a mostrar nuestro dolor por los que están sufriendo y de […]

September 1: Days of Solidarity

For the month of September, our parish will treat each Thursday as a “day of solidarity” with the war-weary population of Afghanistan. Prayer cards will be provided for everyone who joins us for Eucharistic Adoration on Thursdays (8:30am to 8:30pm). The same prayer cards will be available at the entrances of the church. This month-long […]
