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

September 16-17: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

We would never want to point fingers at anyone, obviously, but let’s be honest: we commit sins every day and, hence, we need God’s forgiveness every day. That honest admission might be helpful to remember as we prepare for Sunday’s Mass. In the parable which we will share at Mass (from Matthew 18, 21-35), the […]

16-17 de septiembre: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Será buena idea leer la primera lectura de la Misa del domingo antes de venir al templo (Sirácides 27, 30 – 28, 7). La lectura nos recuerda: “La cólera oscurece el alma; por eso hay que cortar de raíz los pensamientos de cólera y no abandonarse a ellos. Furor y cólera son odiosos.” Nos dice […]

September 15: Our Lady of Sorrows / Nuestra Señora, la Virgen de los Dolores

“Cuanto más cercanos estamos al Señor, con frecuencia estamos más cercanos a su Cruz.” San Anselmo La gente que quiere llevar a cabo su misión en la vida frecuentemente tiene que pagar un alto precio por ello. Jesús continuó su misión de amor haciendo la voluntad del Padre para salvarnos, y por ello fue clavado […]

September 14: Happy Feastday! / ¡Feliz Día de Fiesta!

Along with the whole Church, we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation (or Triumph) of the Holy Cross. We have the special honor to celebrate this day as our parish patronal feast. According to John 3, 13-16, Jesus was lifted up “…so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal […]

September 13: St. John Chrysostom / San Juan Crisóstomo

St. John Chrysostom was born in 347 and in his early years was well educated in oratory and law. He became a monk and, like many other holy men in his time, damaged his health through excessive austerities as well as the unhealthy surroundings of his cave-hermitage. He spent long periods standing and did not […]

September 12: The Holy Name of Mary / El Santo Nombre de María

Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Holy Name of Mary. We do this, obviously, to honor the name of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This feastday has been celebrated since 1684 when Pope Innocent XI officially included it in General Roman calendar, but it actually dates back to 1513 as local celebrations were […]
