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

March 31: Holy Week (Easter Sunday / Domingo de Pascua)

We will shout it out for the Great Fifty Days: Happy Easter! He is Risen! We are called, because of our Easter joy, to announce that “Christ lives. And we live in Him.” It is just that simple, and just that miraculous. This day and this holy season, we carry the Good News of Christ’s […]

March 30: Holy Week (Easter Vigil / Vigilia Pascual)

March 28: Holy Week (Holy Thursday / Jueves Santo)

Almost half of St. John’s Gospel is taken up with a description of the Passion (the death and Resurrection) of Jesus. Prior to that, in the first half of his Gospel, the words “life” and “live” occur about fifty times, but not once in Jesus’ conversation with the disciples at the Last Supper … it […]

March 27: Holy Week (Wednesday) / Semana Santa

At mid-week in Holy Week, we are discovering that the Passion of the Lord is an enthralling story of betrayal, suffering, death, and finally Resurrection. Isn’t it true that everyone discovers the reality of suffering soon enough? Its meaning, however, takes longer to discover. Popular culture does not reveal the meaning of suffering to us […]
