On Saturday, April 24, our English Vigil Mass will be at 4:00 pm (chapel) and our Vietnamese Vigil Mass will be at 5:30 pm (chapel).

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

During the month of March, our average weekly collection was $15,829 (10% increase vs. February 2021). You also generously donated to various important causes in our March (second collections) at $13,345 ($3,336 a week.) This brings our March weekly average to $19,165. 

Our thanks to the 338 parishioners who turned in their gifts and pledges towards this year’s ADA.  We have now reached 79% of our parish goal.

This Sunday, there will be a second collection to reduce our $1.8 million-dollar parish debt. The sooner we pay off this debt, the more funds we will have available to support other vital services in our growing parish. Over the last 7 months, we were able to reduce our debt by $50,000 through your generosity in this monthly collection.

Our loan balance on July 1, 2020, was $2,029,798.  During the first six months of this fiscal year (Jul – Dec 2020), we made both principal and interest payments: $144,246 (principal) and $49,924 (interest). These payments were funded from both the Sunday Offertory ($144,346) and ($49,824) from our first of the month 2nd collection.  Our loan balance as of Dec. 31, 2020, was $1,885,552.

High in natural alcohol and tannin, grown carefully, it can be rich and complex, with dark fruit berry fruit and peppery spice.

The goal of the Francis Fund is to offer tangible assistance to those in need on a person to person basis and to offer spiritual services. People, who have nowhere else to turn, come to our doors seeking assistance with utility bills, overnight shelter, food and other needs.  Your generosity in this 2nd collection will assist us in helping our neighbors. “For it is in giving that we receive.”  

In order to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custos of Jesus, Pope Francis has established that, from today's date, the anniversary of the decree of proclamation as well as a sacred day to the Blessed Virgin Immaculate and Bride of the most chaste Joseph, up to December 8, 2021, a special Year of Saint Joseph is celebrated, in which every faithful following his example can daily strengthen their life of faith in the full fulfillment of God's will.

The Gospel of St. Mark – Cycle B On 29 November 2020, the Church begins a new liturgical year by celebrating the start of Advent. At the same time, we began to hear a new voice in our Sunday gospels. After a year during which we have regularly listened to Matthew on Sundays, we now attend to Mark. This shortest of all New Testament gospels is likely the first to have been written, yet it often tells of Jesus’ ministry in more detail than either Matthew or Luke (for example, the miracle stories at Mk 5:1–20 or Mk 9:14–29).

Every Catholic should be registered in a parish. Besides the active support and involvement that the registration enables, the parish registration is also a condition for many sacraments including Baptism and Matrimony. It is therefore important to register at your local parish as soon as possible.

National Vocation Awareness Week will be celebrated in our country November 1-7, 2020. Please ask Our Lord for more dedicated, holy priests, deacons and consecrated men and women. May they be inspired by Jesus Christ, supported by our faith community, and respond generously to God’s gift of a vocation. In addition to Bishop’s video link above about creating a culture of vocation, each seminarian is recording a short video about themselves.
