Learning to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi.
From Our Director of Religious Education Dear Children, Today we celebrate you! It’s Día del Niño! Children’s Day! In Mexico, children have a special holiday just for them (and it’s not Christmas, that’s about Jesus). Our parish celebrates it here in your honor. (En Español) In today’s readings, we heard Psalm 23, it’s about the Read More
From Our Associate Pastor Next Sunday is traditionally called the Good Shepherd Sunday, where the Gospel reading is typically about Jesus telling the parable of, or describing himself as the Good Shepherd.

From Our Deacon This Second Sunday of Easter is a day that should be celebrated with the same enthusiasm and joy as the previous Sunday.
