Decree from Bishop Soto

Having reviewed the latest information and protocols from health officials, a general dispensation is no longer necessary. Consequently, by this decree, I hereby lift the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy days, effective Sunday, June 20, 2021. The obligation for the Catholic faithful to be present and participate in Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is hereby restored as of that date.

Decreto del Obispo Soto

Después de haber revisado la información y los protocolos más recientes de los funcionarios de salud, ya no es necesaria una dispensa general. En consecuencia, por este decreto, levanto la dispensa general de la obligación de asistir a misa los domingos y días santos, a partir del domingo 20 de junio de 2021. La obligación de los fieles católicos de estar presentes y participar en misa los domingos y días santos se restablece a partir de esa fecha.

Sunday Missal

Due to the Covid-19 guidelines, we are unable to give our parishioners access to reusable materials such as missals and hymn books. However, we do have them available to purchase in the office for a donation of $5 each or you can purchase them in the vestibule before or after Mass. En Espanol

Ways to Celebrate the Year of St. Joseph

La Palabra del Domingo

Domingos y Jueves de 2:30pm a 3:00pm 

El Padre Rodolfo Llamas hace una reflexión del evangelio y las lecturas dominicales y nos lleva a plasmarlas en la vida cotidiana. Sus reflexiones nos ayudan a ubicar nuestra Fe y nuestra vida y además nos hace un recordatorio los jueves a las 2pm, para que no se nos olvide la motivación que sentimos en La Palabra del Domingo. https://radiosantisimosacramento.com/la-palabra-del-domingo 

Canon Law to Participate in the Most Holy Eucharist As Catholics

We fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. Canon 916 A person who is conscious of grave [mortal] sin is not to receive the body of the Lord without previous sacramental confession unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition which includes the resolution of confessing as soon as possible.” A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

Canon 919 A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine.” An exception to this law are the elderly and the sick.

For your Information...

If you or a family member is sick, or will be going in for surgery, you can call the parish office and ask for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. This Sacrament can be received more than once when necessary, please do not wait until the last minute (when the person is dying) to ask for this Sacrament because it is not always possible to locate a priest the second that you need him. In case of an emergency, and you are unable to locate your parish priest, please know that every hospital has a chaplain on staff that can assist you.

Mass Intentions/Ofrecer Una Misa

If you would like to offer a Mass for a deceased person, a birthday, or any other reason you need to do so at least two weeks ahead of time. Please call the parish office for more information.

Si usted quiere ofrecer una misa por un difunto, para cumpleaños, o cualquier otra 
razón debe hacerlo por lo menos dos semanos por adelantado. Por favor hable a la oficina para más información.

A Prayer for Our Parish

Gracious and loving God, we ask you to send your Holy Spirit upon our parish to fill us with love. Make us instruments of your love to everyone that we encounter at home, at work, and in our parish community. Work through us so that we can bring your truth to those who are searching for you. Help us to grow in gratitude so that we can recognize and thank you for all the good things you have given us. Instill in us a deep sense of generosity so that we are willing to share our gifts, our talents, our time, and our financial resources. Deepen our desire to follow your will and to do all things for your honor and glory. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.

Amen
