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

July 29: Sts. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus

Up until very recently, the Church’s calendar had the Feast of St. Martha scheduled every July 29th. At the prompting of Pope Francis, the revised calendar is now graced by the Feast of Sts. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. These two sisters and their brother were close friends of Jesus, who apparently often visited their home […]

29 de julio: Santos Marta, María, y Lázaro

Hace dos años, el Papa Francisco ordenó la inscripción de los Santos Marta, María, y Lázaro en el Calendario Romano General, reemplazando la celebración existente de Santa Marta sola. De este modo, la Iglesia Católica Universal celebra cada año el 29 de julio la memoria de los tres hermanos de Betania juntos en un mismo […]

July 28: Divine Mercy

But it might help us to set the Commandments (given to Moses and our Israelite ancestors) alongside Jesus’ Parable […]

28 de julio: Reina de la Paz

No hay cultura que pueda decir que ha vivido siempre en paz. Hay batallas a muchos niveles. Se enfrentan las naciones. Pero también se enfrentan las familias […]

July 27: Open Minds and Hearts

There are more than a few expressions in the Bible that qualify as “perplexing.” We might call these “hard to understand” or “head scratchers.” When we run across such passages, it is important to remember that, in the Scriptures, God speaks through people in a human fashion. In order to understand what God is communicating, […]

27 de julio: Corazones Abiertos

Por unos días (o mejor, unas semanas) hemos oído esto: “Un sembrador salió a sembrar….” En el capítulo 13 del Evangelio de San Mateo, hay diez parábolas y muchas de ellas empiezan con la misma frase. La pregunta clave es: ¿en qué clase de tierra dejamos caer la semilla en nosotros? Seguramente a veces nuestra […]
