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

The Oxford English Dictionary has 231,000 entries. It has been said that at least a fifth of them are obsolete. They range from “aa,” which is a stream or waterway (try that in Scrabble), to “zymome,” which is the part of gluten which is insoluble in alcohol.

Pero las preguntas […]

November 20: A Challenge Far Greater than Politics

There is an old adage that “sports don’t build character, they reveal it.” Who we are, deep down, is indeed revealed by how we respond to winning or losing, giving our best effort or quitting, and working together or aiming for our own glory.

19 de noviembre: Catequesis del Papa

Catequesis del Papa: María Modelo Silencioso de Oración Siguiendo sus reflexiones sobre la oración, el Papa Francisco meditó en su catequesis de la audiencia general de esta mañana sobre la figura de la Virgen María, la “llena de gracia e Inmaculada desde su concepción,” que estaba en continuo diálogo con Dios desde antes de la […]
