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

9 de julio: El Día del Señor

“Vengan a mí, todos los que están fatigados y agobiados por la carga y yo les daré alivio. Tomen mi yugo sobre ustedes y aprendan de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón.” (Mateo 11, 25-30) Jesús ofrece descanso a nuestros corazones … siempre inquietos, siempre buscando, y siempre deseando nuevas aventuras. El cuerpo […]

July 8-9: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

The somewhat famous plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”   These words make up the conclusion […]

[…]

7 de julio: Creer en Jesús y en su Reino

Desde nuestro punto de vista podríamos decir que ¡Jesús frecuentaba las malas compañías! Eso de andar con publicanos y con pecadores (Mateo 9, 9-13 por ejemplo) no era precisamente estar con “la gente bien,” de buen comportamiento, con la gente buena de la sociedad. Eso ya nos puede resultar escandaloso. Pero en el tiempo de […]

July 6: Walking in His Way

A somewhat perplexing feature in the Gospels is that Jesus never really distinguishes between curing, forgiving, healing, and reconciling. These appear to be one and the same action on His part. On one hand, that shouldn’t be so perplexing, but we tend to make it so! What is important to Jesus, throughout the Gospels, especially […]
