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

30-31 de enero: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

El Evangelio (Marcos (1,21-8) nos va a recordar estas palabras: “Jesús no enseñaba como los letrados.” Los letrados eran los Maestros de la Ley, especialistas que interpretaban y aplicaban las Escrituras, las verdades, las muchas normas que formaban parte de la tradición religiosa (mandamientos y prohibiciones…) y las imponían a la gente. Insistían bastante en […]

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.

January 28: Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the 13th century theologian who showed that the Catholic faith is in harmony with philosophy and all other branches of knowledge. Saint John Paul II, in his 1998 letter “Fides et Ratio,” said St. Thomas “had the great merit of giving pride of place to […]

28 de enero: Fiesta de Santo Tomás de Aquino

Cada 28 de enero la Iglesia celebra a Santo Tomás de Aquino, patrono de los estudiantes, insigne filósofo y teólogo, autor de la monumental Summa Teológica – el compendio de teología más sólido e influyente de la historia. Su pensamiento, gracias a su espíritu acucioso y su amor por la Verdad, sentó las bases de […]
