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

22 de septiembre: Todo es Don, Todo es Gracia

“Entonces Jesús les dijo esta parábola: ‘Salió el sembrador a sembrar su semilla….’” (Lucas 8, 4-15) Ya conocemos de sobra la parábola del sembrador y la explicación que da el mismo Jesús. Cuando meditamos en esta parábola siempre terminamos pensando en qué tipo de tierra somos. Si nos parecemos a la del borde del camino, […]

September 21: St. Matthew

Saint Matthew, the first-century tax collector turned Apostle who chronicled the life and ministry of Jesus in his Gospel, is celebrated by the Church today, September 21.

September 18-19: Being Channels of Compassion

St. Leo the Great said that “Jesus is the hand of God’s mercy stretched out to us.” The Gospels report that Jesus often performed miracles without being asked, as a sign that God’s love always takes the first step. Jesus reached out and touched people’s lives in real and life-giving ways, showing that “God has […]

18-19 de septiembre: Dios Empatiza con Nosotros

Según los Evangelios, lástima, compasión, y empatía son las grandes virtudes de Jesús. Son unas características de su carácter, que, como todo en Jesús, nos manifiestan el modo de ser de Dios. Dios empatiza con nosotros. Tiene compasión de nosotros. Dicho de otro modo, es capaz de sentir con nosotros, de experimentar nuestros mismos sentimientos […]
