Greetings!
Happy Easter Everyone! I hope you all had a great Easter. As for me, this is the day the Lord has made, Alleluia, Alleluia! Rejoice and be glad. It is truly a time to rejoice because Christ is Risen, and He calls us to Himself in this same way in where we encounter him always - now and forever in the sacraments we receive. I would like to specifically congratulate the new members in our church, Kyla Man, Alex Lee, Antonio Lomeli, Isaiah Lomeli, and Ivan Lomeli Jr.

Nicaragua Mission Trip 2023
We are so excited to have so many missionaries already registered to travel to Nicaragua on behalf of our parish this summer. There has been so much enthusiasm that we’ve decided to leave our registration open a little bit longer. Hopefully, this extra time will allow those of you who were waiting to finalize your summer plans to join us to work and serve alongside our friends in Nicaragua.
Registration will remain open until we reach capacity.
