Pope Francis said recently, “Advent, which prepares us for Christmas ... it is a time of expectation and a time of hope. Advent is about getting ready for our Lord to come. But it is also a reminder that he has already come. He has already entered into the reality of our human existence, and he is still, and always will be, with us. Advent reminds us that Jesus is always arriving: in the people he sends into our lives; in the challenges we face every day; in the burdens we carry; even in our sufferings. And, Advent reminds us that God is faithful! His love for us is true. Let us never doubt that! This is why he sent his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, into the world in the first place. To share our sufferings, to walk with us and to strengthen us.”

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Archbishop Jose Gomes has once again asked me to fill the role of Administrator Pro Tem while Fr. Albert is away on medical leave. I know that I am taking on this role during a particularly difficult time in our history: We are in the middle of a world-wide pandemic which has disrupted our personal and professional lives in ways we could never have imagined 8 months ago. We have just completed a very divisive political season which has divided us politically and for some has affected our families and friendships.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Lily of the Mohawks, you lost your whole family in a pandemic that swept your entire village. We come to you today, with bended knees, asking your intercession in this time of COVID-19 pandemic, that God will stop the spread of this plague throughout the whole world. Though partially blind, disfigured and crippled, you trekked the rough terrain to encounter God. Help us to encounter God in this difficult and uncertain time. Help us to encounter God as we take refuge in our homes. Help us to encounter God in the ICU’s and isolated rooms of hospitals. Help us to encounter God in our city halls and government buildings. Restore our sight to find Jesus and allow Him to love us.

Loving Greetings! On March 16, 2020, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez announced the suspension of Masses amid the current COVID-19 Pandemic. During this temporary suspension our Parish Church, Adoration Chapel and the Parish Office will remain closed until April 19, 2020, or until further notice. While the office is closed, we will have staff members available to answer your telephone calls and emails, as there are unavoidable needs to be addressed.  Social distancing that requires individuals to stay at least six feet apart is emphasized. The practice of good hygiene by the regular washing of hands with soap and water, or with hand sanitizer, and the disinfecting of surfaces like doorknobs, tables, and desks on a regular basis.  Our Pastor highly encourages the parishioners and our staff members to stay at home if they are sick, especially if they have symptoms of fever or cough, “STAY HOME” with their family, pray together and pray the Holy Rosary daily. We want to reassure all of our parishioners that despite the current disruptions to our community, that our parish will continue to assist you in your essential spiritual needs.

Peace of Christ! As we journey through this most challenging time, I pray that all is well with you and your family.
