Reflections on the weekly gospel from our Pastor.
From Our Pastor Dear Brothers and Sisters, Each year, we are invited to participate in our Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA), an opportunity for all of us to support essential ministries and services that benefit many in our Diocese of San Diego. The theme of this year’s campaign is “Advancing Our Mission.” The Annual Catholic Appeal Read More
Mary, Joseph, Anna, Simeon, and Jesus met in the temple. How did they get there? Or rather, what brought them to that meeting place? But, even more importantly, what brings us to the temple, to the place where God resides? Mary and Joseph followed the law of Moses, the Spirit guided Simeon to witness the Read More
In the first reading of today’s liturgy, the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time, Cycle C, we see that the prophet Ezra proclaims the Law before all the people so that they understand and accept and fulfill the Law in the days to come. But in the Gospel, Jesus stands up and proclaims that, even as Read More
The average cost of a wedding today in the United States, according to a recent study by The Knot, is a lot of money. It can range from $10,000 to $30,000. We don’t know the budget for an ancient Jewish wedding, but I dare to imagine that wedding stress has always been a part of Read More

Dear Parish Family, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests!” (Luke 2:14). Christmas provides all of us with a unique opportunity each year to refocus. Not only are we reminded of the futile and ever-changing world in which we live, but also of a God Read More
Dear Brothers and Sisters, On these days, when best wishes, the most endearing human feelings, and the social values typical of Christian roots flourish, on these days of celebration, of joy, of places and houses with many decorations and lights, it is suitable to announce the true protagonist: Jesus. Christmas is a mystery of love. Read More
From Our Pastor On this Third Sunday of Advent, the liturgy invites us to experience JOY. In the first part of today’s Gospel, we meet three groups of people who turn to John the Baptist to obtain concrete life guidelines: the common people, the tax collectors, and the soldiers. Everyone has a recurring question: “What Read More
From Our Associate Pastor Why did Mary appear on the Hill of Tepeyac? Are these Apparitions true?

The historical context is very precise Read More
