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

March 4-5: Good News / Buena Noticia

One of the many helpful Lenten practices we can adopt is to look ahead. Yes, we are encouraged to “live in the present moment” and “seize the day,” but we can also look ahead to where Lent is leading us: Holy Week, Easter, and a renewed life beyond Easter. Lent, after all, is not an […]

3 de marzo: El Día del Señor

“Quiten todo de aquí y no conviertan en un mercado la casa de mi Padre.” Juan 2, 13-25 Atacar el templo era atacar el corazón del pueblo judío: el centro de su vida religiosa, social, y política.

His response was to cleanse the Temple of all that betrayed the “worship” which God desired. Perhaps just as […]

1-2 de marzo: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

Según San Pablo: “La salvación está en la Cruz y no en el poder.” (1 Corintios 1, 22-25) Antes de venir a Misa, sería buena idea recordar que la religión ha sido en el pasado parte integrante de la política. La política, y en particular la autoridad, necesitaba siempre una legitimación religiosa. En tiempos de […]

March 1: Lent and Peace

Lent has a way of putting us into closer touch with the important spiritual things in our lives, including our loving relationship with the Lord our God. In fact, we come to realize more and more that that relationship isn’t just one of the important spiritual things in our lives – it is one of […]
