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

March 27-28: Preparing for Palm Sunday’s Mass

“They brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And He sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches  that they had cut from the fields. Those preceding Him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in […]

26 de marzo: Aflicción y Consuelo

Especialmente durante este tiempo Cuaresmal, estamos invitados a reflexionar sobre las obras de misericordia.

Porque las palabras del Ángel a María (Lucas 1,26-38) expresan con transparencia cómo Dios nos mira y cómo se dirige a nosotros. Mientras que la reacción de María ante […]

March 25: The Feast of the Annunciation

We could easily make the case that this Feast of the “Announcement” of Jesus’ birth and His conception in the womb of Mary should be on a par with Christmas. From one point of view, it is a greater occasion than Christmas. The Child would not have been born if He had not first been […]

March 24: God’s Love Shining Through Us

Many of us grew up hearing the hymn “They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love.” Using modern standards, there are some who criticize the song as “dated” and “kind of cheesy!” Nonetheless, doesn’t it stir up memories of those very Christians who, through the ages, gave up everything for the faith? Doesn’t it […]
