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

April 30: The Day of the Lord

Is it not true that there comes a time in every one of our lives when we stop expecting someone else to take care of us and we begin to do that for ourselves? This is what this “Good Shepherd Sunday” is all about, but it goes way beyond each of our individual lives. The […]

30 de abril: El Día del Señor

Todos necesitamos aprender mucho del Buen Pastor (Juan 10, 1-10). Pero no para tener éxito o sumar votos o clientes, ni para buscar por aplausos,  sino para “servir” a los demás.

Y entre los creyentes… pues quizá por la costumbre, por la tradición Bíblica, y por los esfuerzos que hacemos para comprender su significado, […]

April 29: Confirmation

We rejoice today with our 47 teens as they receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Four more of them received their Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. Both the Church and our parish take delight  that our young people are sealed with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit! We thank Bishop Peter Smith for coming to our […]

As we know, Easter isn’t just a day, it’s a whole season. The Easter season stretches all the way to the feast of Pentecost. Lent, which sometimes feels like it is stretching on forever, is actually forty days long. Easter, on the other hand, is all of fifty days long. About these fifty days theologian […]
