Reflections on the weekly gospel from our Pastor.
This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. Chance is, you read about it in reflections online and hear it in homilies during mass. Therefore, instead of elaborating it more through this bulletin reflection, I’d like to talk about something that you may have missed this week: Earth Day, on April 22. I am fully aware that Read More
Alleluia! Jesus has risen from the dead, and we are so happy. As the responsorial psalm says: This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ’s Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples’ discovery Read More
From the Associate Pastor This Sunday, April 10, we are celebrating Palm Sunday, “of the Passion of the Lord.” As it is a very long and intense Gospel, I want to highlight some very important details so that we may meditate on them during Holy Week. Jesus chooses twelve men, the twelve apostles, to train Read More
From the Associate Pastor If you don’t go to the 10:00 AM Mass, you probably miss this special rite called “Scrutinies”. When a parish has people in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) program who will be baptized on Easter Vigil, they will go through this rite on the third, fourth, and fifth Read More

From the Associate Pastor In this Gospel for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we find a beautiful jewel in the example of humility and simplicity of Saint Peter. Seeing the miraculous catch of fish, Peter acknowledges that he is a sinner because he had not understood who Jesus really was. “’ Depart from me, Read More
From the Pastor The readings for today remind me of the martyrs of my country: Monsignor Romero (today a Saint), Father Rutilio Grande, Father Cosme Spessotto, and the laymen Manuel Solórzano and Nelson Lemus, beatified last weekend. I am sure that in every country we have martyrs or prophets who suffer the consequences of being Read More
From the Associate Pastor “When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel” (GIRM, no. 29). These words from the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) set before us a profound truth that we need to ponder and make Read More
