Pastoral Message
Hey Ya'll, This day, Holy Thursday, marks the end of the penitential season of Lent and the beginning of the Triduum – those three days in which, by remembering, we celebrate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God.

Pastoral Message – December 15, 2024
Isn’t it amazing how fast the time goes? Christmas is just around the corner, and as we begin the third week of Advent we light the rose-colored candle of the Advent Wreath. The Third Sunday of Advent is sometimes called “Gaudete Sunday,” using the Latin word that begins our second reading this Sunday: “Rejoice in the Lord always.
