Today is Catechetical Sunday. On Catechetical Sunday, we honor and commission our parish and school catechists who teach and pass on the Catholic faith each year.

Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists. 

We thank you for their gift of ministry in your Church. 

Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the 

understanding and teaching of your Word. 

Grant them also your love that they may be fruitful heralds

of your Word and lead others to love you. 

Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them 

wisdom about what is important; 

knowledge of the truths of faith; 

understanding of their meaning; right judgement 

about how to apply them in life; courage to persevere even 

in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred 

and holy; and that loving zeal which leads others to a 

transforming encounter with your Son. 

We pray this through Christ, our Lord.

It is with deep sadness that we announce our lovely receptionist, Esther Quintanilla, passed away on Sat., Sept. 12, after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was always loving and welcoming to everyone that called or visited our offices. She worked tirelessly to be sure that every need that arose was met with calm and grace. Esther leaves behind her beloved husband Roy Quintanilla, her mother Susie, and many siblings, children and grandchildren. Her family, our staff and many parishioners and other friends are brokenhearted. She will be missed by all. May she rest in peace.

We are excited to announce that our parish now has access to premium video content from Word on Fire through Flocknote. These films and videos feature Bishop Robert Barron, who has been hailed as “one of the Church’s greatest messengers" and is the 2nd most-followed Catholic in the world on social media (behind only Pope Francis.)
