Mass Requests Please stop by the Parish Office if you would like to request a Mass to be prayed for a special intention.

Father Martin’s Corner Christmas is time of joy, peace, love, rejoicing and thanksgiving! It is also a time of the great Mercy of God to humanity because the Son of the Most High God was incarnated through the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the fullness of time in history, the whole humanity was restored back to God. Jesus, the Emmanuel, is Lord and Savior!

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. It is the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It is thus a perfect family for Jesus – the perfect setting where Jesus, the Son of God, raised as human and divine and grew in wisdom and age.

May the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph be a perfect model for all families to live in holiness, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, humility, and unity!

A Blessed, Healthy and Bountiful New Year to all of you and may your family be faithful and loving forever and ever!
