Mis Queridos Amigos, Este fin de semana, los niños de nuestra parroquia empiezan a recibir su Primera Comunion.

My Dear Friends, This weekend the children of our parish begin receiving their First Holy Communion. It is a blessed time in the life of our parish, and I ask you pray for these little ones as they approach the altar for the first time. Do you remember the experience of your First Communion? If …
March 31st – Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
- March 30th, 2024
My Dear Friends, HAPPY EASTER! CHRIST IS RISEN! This is the rallying cry of the Christian. This is the central mystery of our faith. St. Paul says itvery clearly in his first letter to the Corinthians: “…if Christ has not been raised, then empty [too] is our preaching; empty, too, your faith (1 Cor 15:14).” …

31 de Marzo – Domingo de Pascua de la Resurrección del Señor
- March 30th, 2024
Mis Queridos Amigos, ¡FELICES PASCUAS! ¡CRISTO HA RESUCITADO! Este es el grito de guerra del cristiano. Este es el misterio central de nuestra fe.

March 24th – Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
- March 21st, 2024
My Dear Friends, We begin the liturgy on this Palm Sunday with Christ’s grand entrance into Jerusalem. We sing Christ’s praises as the crowds did 2000 years ago, and we enter rejoicing because we are indeed praising our Lord and King. We wave those palm branches to herald Christ’s entrance into the City of David, and …

17 de Marzo – V Domingo de Cuaresma
- March 15th, 2024
Mis Queridos Amigos, Hoy, en el V Domingo de Cuaresma, la Iglesia comienza las últimas dos semanas de cuaresma. Al entrar en la iglesia, es posible que ya hayas notado nuestras estatuas cubiertas con telas moradas. Es una imagen discordante, sin duda, y no es algo que se haya hecho tradicionalmente aquí en Little Flower, …
March 17th – V Sunday of Lent
- March 15th, 2024
My Dear Friends, Today on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, the Church begins the period that is known as Passiontide. As you walked into the church, you may have already noticed our statues covered in purple cloths. It is a jarring visual, for sure, and it is not something that has traditionally been done here at …
