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.

What's Happening

August 9: Fragile and Holy

Lesley Stahl, of CBS News, once used an analogy to describe the difficulties of being a working mother. She said, “When you’re juggling all those balls, you need to remember which ones are rubber … and which ones are glass.” With all due respect for working mothers, who have a vocation on top of a […]

9 de agosto: Viviendo al Estilo de los Santos

The God of Israel had easily won this […]

6 de agosto: La Transfiguración del Señor

Por lo tanto, significa un cambio de forma o apariencia. Esto es lo que le sucedió a Jesús en el evento conocido como la Transfiguración: […]

It is a Feast which commemorates one of the pinnacles of Jesus’ earthly life, when He revealed His divinity to three of His closest disciples by means of a miraculous and supernatural light. The Gospels record that, before His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Christ […]
