My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I’m so happy we are here to worship together. I welcome you! This weekend, John’s Gospel proclaims our Lord Jesus Christ’s promise, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without you can do nothing.” May each of you take His message into your heart and keep it there, so His promise will be fulfilled in your life. Mis Estimados Hermanos y las Hermanas en Cristo, Yo soy tan feliz que estamos de aquí venerar juntos. ¡Le doy la bienvenida! Este fin de semana, Evangelio de John proclama la promesa de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, "Soy la vid, es las ramas. Quienquiera que se queda en mí y en yo en él soportaré mucha fruta, porque sin usted no puede hacer nada". Pueda cada uno de usted toma Su mensaje en el corazón y lo mantiene allí, así que Su promesa será cumplida en su vida. — Fr. Juan Manuel

We can always change our ways. After Jesus’ resurrection, He defined the first step for us.: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17). FrC wisdom on history of the word REPENT and what we need to know about it. FrC wisdom on history of the word and what we need to know about it. FrC wisdom on history of the word and what we need to know about it. FrC wisdom on history of the word and what we need to know about it. So what does the word REPENT mean to each of us? It means making a radical shift that begins with God’s Grace. It means stopping what you are doing; turning and going the other way! FrC call-to-action to all of us. FrC call-to-action to all of us. FrC call-to-action to all of us. FrC call-to-action to all of us. FrC call-to-action to all of us. Peace, Fr. Charlie

UPDATE: Parish Hall (New Hall) Repairs The Blessing of a Generous Donation Our Parish Hall (New Hall) is in dire need of repair. On March 27, the Parish Building and Grounds Committee unanimously approved the critical first stage repairs needed for structural exterior shear wall buttresses on the north side of the building, destroyed by termite/dry-rot damage. This project is possible because of a dona-tion of $12,000 by Dr. Jim & Anna Marie, a parish cou-ple, who hope this will inspire some other parishioners to donate, according to their means, to help complete major repairs of our Parish Hall used in the Catholic education of our children and major parish functions. — Dr. James Spilker, Jr., Management Advisor Deacon John Sequeira, and Rev. Juan Manuel Lopez
