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

January 30-31: Preparing for Sunday’s Mass

We have all had teachers in the course of our lives. We have had them in elementary school, in secondary school, at higher levels of education, or even in other less formal educational contexts. Some of those teachers (hopefully, very few) we might prefer to forget, but others (hopefully, many) we remember with great fondness. […]

January 29: Advancing Along the Paths of Hope

Su pensamiento, gracias a su espíritu acucioso y su amor por la Verdad, sentó las bases de […]

Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day today, Pope Francis said, “remember the Shoah and be aware of how this path of death began, this path of extermination, of brutality.” Indeed, remembering the Holocaust and its victims is not only an act of solidarity but also serves as a warning to humanity that such horrors could happen […]
