What's Happening

7-8 de agosto: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

¿Qué es lo que mantiene a la gente creciendo, sana, y robusta? Por lo que respecta al cuerpo: el alimento y la comida. Sin embargo, incluso para el cuerpo, no solo son necesarias la comida y la bebida, sino también el alimento del amor y de la seguridad.  ¿Qué es lo que necesitamos para mantenernos […]

August 7-8: Preparing for this Weekend’s Mass

There is some important background information that might help us understand Sunday’s first reading from the First Book of Kings (19, 4-8): the prophet Elijah had just come from a dangerous showdown with 450 prophets of a (supposed) god called Baal, in the land ruled by Jezebel.

August 5 / 5 de agosto: Adoration / Adoración

In the simplest terms, Eucharistic Adoration is a time we Catholics (or anyone with a prayerful heart) take (or make) to worship the true God in the person of Jesus Christ. He is really, truly present in the Eucharistic host placed on the altar. Many make what is known as “a holy hour” to honor […]

August 4 / 4 de agosto: St. John Vianney

La música tocada por un solo instrumento puede ser bella, pero la forma más bella la encontramos en la armonía de muchos y diferentes instrumentos tocando juntos en una sinfónica; o muchas voces humanas armonizadas en un coro. Que el Señor nos dé participar y gozar de la sinfónica y el coro de muchas culturas […]
