ACTS Adoration—Let us all adore Him and turn to Him in prayer every day of our lives.

Theology—Let us study the word of our Lord in order to better know our God and understand His will for us.

Service—Let us all realize the God has given talents to each and every one of us, and we are called to share these talents by serving our family, our church, our community and each other.

Primeros Viernes

Iniciando en Noviembre cada Primer Viernes del mes tendremos la misa de 8:30 a.m. y le seguirá la

Adoración hasta las 6:30 p.m. con una solemne Bendición del Santísimo Sacramento y Misa pro-vida. (La Misa pro-vida de los primeros sábados

esta suprimida). Esta nueva Misa dará a los fieles dos oportunidades para recibir la comunión y poder así observar esta devoción. Los demás

viernes del mes la adoración al Santísimo sacramento se extenderá hasta las 7:00 p.m.

Atuendo en la Misa Es de buena educación vestirse bien para la Misa. Se evita usar prendas rotas, o prendas especialmente reveladoras o ajustadas. Pantalones cortos (shorts) no son ropa adecuada para la Misa. Dichos atuendos pueden distraer a otros, o incluso demostrar falta de respeto hacia Dios y a la iglesia. Cuando entramos a la iglesia o asistimos a la Misa, estamos en la presencia de nuestro Dios. Demostremos una actitud de modestia y recogimiento.
