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.

What's Happening

July 15: St. Bonaventure (Ordination Anniversary)

In 1257, at the young age of 36, St. Bonaventure was elected Minister-General of the Franciscan Order. He has been called, with much justification, the Order’s “second founder.” St. Francis himself had died in 1226. In the years following his death, the Franciscans were coming under criticism as a result of a huge increase in […]

July 14: St. Kateri Tekakwitha

They truly are distinct in meaning: a disciple (Latin discipulus, from discere, to learn) is a follower, someone who learns from a teacher and assimilates that […]

11 de julio: San Benito

Cada 11 de julio la Iglesia celebra a San Benito de Nursia, fundador del monacato occidental (vida monástico). También se le conoce como San Benito, Abad. La máxima de vida de San Benito (con la que ha inspirado a la cristiandad a lo largo de los siglos) fue “ora et labora” (ora y trabaja), síntesis […]

July 11: St. Benedict

Fifteen hundred years ago, St. Benedict wrote his Rule of Life and established his monastic community. The Rule became the standard for most of the monastic tradition in the entire Western world. The Rule is marked by moderation, balance, humility, and humanity. Community life was a key feature of his monastic vision and he stressed […]
