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

4 de diciembre: El Adviento y la Luz

En este tiempo de espera, el Adviento, la Palabra de Dios nos da una visión de esperanza. Los poderosos que confían en su propio poder político y en sus alianzas se derrumbarán y serán aplastados, pero los pobres, sordos, ciegos, o sea, los que todavía creen en la presencia y en la acción de Dios […]

December 4: Sight and Insight

So much of Advent is about seeing. In Matthew 9,27-31 we hear of two blind men who are given sight by Jesus. We should not read this as just another miracle, another proof of Jesus’ divine power.

2 de diciembre: El Adviento y el Virus

Este adviento confinado que vivimos (en mayor o menor medida, en unos lugares u otros) nos impide organizar comidas y banquetes que siempre han sido tan habituales en estas fechas: cenas de trabajo, encuentros con amigos, las Posadas, comidas familiares. La pandemia nos obliga a repensar el modo de encontrarnos, de festejar, de querernos y […]

December 2: “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.”

The popular song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” shows just how much we associate the holidays with the comforts of home. Even if we can’t be home this Christmas or “home” will be much different for us, we probably recall times of anticipation from the past—of stringing lights, wrapping presents, decorating the tree, and gathering […]
