Vengan y compartan nuestra Fe Católica Romana conservando nuestras sanas tradiciones culturales y nuestra religiosidad popular.

Los invito a donar para esta causa cada semana, lo que usted gana en una hora de trabajo y así poco a poco vamos juntando los necesario.

I invite you to donate for this cause every week, what you earn in one hour of work and so little by little we gather the necessary monies.

saludo DEL PASTOR

Reciban mi saludo fraterno en Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, quien nos saca victoriosos de toda tribulación. En este domingo la Palabra del Señor es muy consoladora, pues nos dice a través del Profeta: “Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed, vengan por agua; y los que no tienen dinero, vengan, tomen trigo y coman; tomen vino y leche sin pagar”. Is 55,1. El Apóstol San Pablo también nos invita a tener confianza cuando pregunta quién nos podrá separar del Amor de Dios? Y da la respuesta: “pues estoy convencido de que ni la muerte ni la vida, ni los ángeles ni los demonios, ni el presente ni el futuro, ni los poderes de este mundo, ni lo alto ni lo bajo, ni creatura alguna podrá apartarnos del amor que nos ha manifestado Dios en Cristo Jesús”. Rm 8,35.39. Y el Evangelio nos enseña que debemos ser generosos y solidarios  cuando dice:  “Dénles ustedes de comer. Ellos le contestaron: No tenemos aquí más que cinco panes y dos pescados. Él les dijo: “Tráiganmelos. Luego mandó que la gente se sentara sobre el pasto. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados, y mirando al Cielo, pronunció una bendición, partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos para que los distribuyeran a la gente.  Todos comieron hasta saciarse, y con los pedazos que habían sobrado, se llenaron doce canastos”. Mt 14,16-20. Si hay generosidad siempre habrá para todos y sobrará, aunque sea poco lo que hay, Dios hece que se multipliquen los bienes para saciar la necesidad.

Pastor's Greeting

Receive my warmest greetings in Our Lord Jesus Christ, who brings us victorious out of all tribulation. This Sunday the Word of the Lord is very comforting, it tells us through the Prophet: “All you who are thirsty, come to the water; You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; Come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk”. Is 55:1. Saint Paul the Apostle also invites us to have confidence when he asks who can separate us from the Love of God? And he gives us the response: “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Rm 3:35-39. And the Gospel teaches us that we must be generous and supportive when it says: Jesus said to them, “Give them some food yourselves. But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here. Then he said, “Bring them here to me, and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets full”. Mt 14:16-20 If there is generosity there will always be for everyone and there will be plenty, even if there is little, God multiplies it to satisfy the need.

"My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. At the same time, we have to recognize that ‘the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost.’
“Today I join the Church in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and in the entire United States, in praying for the repose of the soul of George Floyd and of all those others who have lost their lives as a result of the sin of racism. Let us pray for the consolation of their grieving families and friends and let us implore the national reconciliation and peace for which we yearn. May Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, intercede for all those who work for peace and justice in your land and throughout the world.”
“May God bless all of you and your families."

- Pope Francis
