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 13-14: Preparing for Mass this Weekend

On multiple levels, we want to leave the darkness behind and experience the light of longer and more hopeful days. Even though some of us will whine and complain about the hour of sleep we lose this weekend, with the return of Daylight Savings Time, we will again see the benefits of lengthening days and […]

11 de marzo: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos?”

Mateo 25,31-46 no es propiamente una parábola sino una evocación del juicio final de todos los pueblos.

We also follow them because they were given to us by God. In the book of Exodus, we read […]

10 de marzo: Los Mandamientos

¿Qué sentido tienen para nosotros los mandamientos de la Ley de Dios? Para algunos, son el resumen y la cima de toda moralidad; para otros, regulaciones estrechas y fuera de moda; y aún para otros, obstáculos para la libertad del Evangelio. Para nuestros antepasados en Israel, eran la expresión de fidelidad a Dios y al […]

March 9: Feast of St. Frances of Rome

Among all the questions we Catholics ask, one of the most frequent ones is: “Who is the patron saint of …?” We often have to “look it up,” but there are some memorable “patron saints”: St. Anthony is always at the ready to help us find lost objects; St. Blase offers us protection against illness, […]
