We will also have confessions during this time and our Spanish community will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

I am calling these parishioners Anchors of Mercy and I am inviting you to become one of them. To do so you will agree to be in church on those Thursdays for at least 1/2 hour and at least one Thursday a month. You can of course agree to be present for longer if you wish.

Reflections On the Gospel from Pax Christi December 27, 2015 Sunday’s readings celebrate family, the Holy Family in particular, but all families as well. These readings provide us with a great lesson in what it is to be a family. They use words like honor, revere, obey, care for, be considerate, forgive, thank, and most of all LOVE. They acknowledge that it’s not always easy to be family, to watch a parent age or lose sight of a wandering child. But they also assure us that there is great reward when we strive to live the lesson. Are we prepared to be this kind of family to our brothers and sisters not only across the dinner table, but also across borders and ideologies and classes? When we say the Lord’s Prayer, do we really mean it? “Our Father…” Let’s give it a try.
