Godspeed, Fr. Socorro, as you travel to visit your family

As you travel home to celebrate your mother’s birthday, attend the Ordination Mass of your friend, and visit with your family, we wish you a safe trip. Enjoy the warmer weather and take time to relax and enjoy the home cooked food and company of friends and family.  Your parish family will miss you, but Fr. Simon is an able assistant.  We all pray for you as you travel!

Blessing of Baby Jesus figures at Noon Mass

Sunday, December 15 was Bambinelli Sunday. It is a tradition initiated by Pope St John Paul II. On this day in Rome, many people bring in their Baby Jesus figures (Bambinelli) to St Peter’s Square to be blessed by the Pope. In our Parish, all were invited to bring their Baby Jesus figures from home or from their Nativity Crib to the Church on this weekend to be blessed by the Priest during Mass and take this Christmas Blessing back to their homes and families.
