Happy Easter

Happy Easter The resurrection of the Lord is the core of our faith. Knowing that we also will rise give us understanding and meaning for our lives.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week April 2-8, 2017 Sadly the needs of many crime victims and survivors, including some who worship in our faith community, remain unaddressed and many feel abandoned by our Church.

Today’s custom of placing this portion in a tabernacle for prayer and adoration by the faithful cannot be traced back much beyond the year 1,000, much to almost everyone’s surprise. There is simply no historical evidence of the Blessed Sacrament being present in a church for the purpose of having the faithful…

Our Traditions / Tradiciones – English/Español

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION By the early 1950s some scholars were calling for the restoration of Communion of the faithful on Good Friday, since by then only a priest received, consuming the host from the Holy Thursday repository.

Later, Peter became the bishop…
