March 26, 2023: Fifth Sunday of Lent
I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will never die.
Yo soy la resurrección y la vida, dice el Señor;
el que cree en mí no morirá para siempre.
Happy and holy 5th Sunday in Lent! We welcome back Fr. Anthony from his vacation and visit to his family. It is a blessing to have him once more in the parish as we celebrate the joy of the season.
First and foremost, once more, thank you to every family that has contributed to the Annual Diocesan Appeal. We are $40,000 short of our stretch goal for the new sound system in the church. I would encourage all families who have not yet to given, to please either fill out a pledge form or give electronically with the link on the parish website. Our current and aging system is in need of replacement and your support is vital to help all of us hear and praise God. Amen...

¡Feliz y santo V Domingo de Cuaresma! Damos la bienvenida nuevamente al padre Anthony quien regresa de sus vacaciones y de visitar a su familia. Es una bendición tenerlo una vez más en la parroquia mientras celebramos la alegría de la temporada.
En primer lugar, una vez más, gracias a todas las familias que han contribuido a la Campaña Anual Diocesana. Nos faltan $40,000 para llegar a nuestra ambiciosa meta y poder comprar un nuevo sistema de sonido en la iglesia. Nuestro sistema actual y antiguo necesita ser reemplazado y su apoyo es vital para ayudarnos a todos a escuchar y alabar a Dios. Animo a todas las familias, que aún no han donado, a que llenen un formulario de compromiso o donen electrónicamente a través del enlace del sitio web de la parroquia. Amén...
