Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: Abrir el corazón al Resucitado: Hermanos y hermanas, un saludo de resurrección para cada uno. La paz de Cristo este con ustedes y sus hogares. Les animo a continuar viviendo y celebrando la pascua de resurrección. Cristo esta vivo en nuestras vida, El ha resucitado y nos invita a vivir con sentido de resurrección; esto es lo que da sentido a nuestra fe (1cor.15,14). Los Apóstoles vieron y experimentaron a Jesús resucitado. Si tenemos fe, nosotros también le podemos ver y experimentar vivo y presente, compartiendo nuestras vidas. Si tenemos fe, sabemos que Cristo esta con nosotros todos los días, en las buenas y en las malas hasta el ultimo día (MT 28, 19). Recuerden: Nos estamos preparando para celebrar La Vigilia de Pentecostés. Les Bendice, Padre José Francisco Reyes Vicario Parroquial

Dear brothers and sisters in the Jesus Christ: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.” With the triumphal entry of Jesus in Jerusalem we open this Palm Sunday toward Holy Week, the center and reason of our faith, through which this real Man and real God who was born, lived, fully fulfilled his mission, died and victoriously resuscitated from death, invites us to accompany Him in this itinerary in those holy days. We ask all of you to please note the schedules of masses and services that will be provided during this important week of our faith. That we re-discover this mystery of the salvation and leave it to Him to resuscitat-ed us to a new life more compromised with the restoration God's Kingdom, here and now. We wait for you for our di-verse celebrations and that God may wrap us with his grace and illuminate us. Blessings Father Jose Francisco Herrera Administrator

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: Open your heart to the Resuscitated one: Brothers and sisters, a greeting of resurrection for each one. May the peace of Christ be with you and your homes. I encourage you to keep on living and celebrating this Easter of resurrection. Christ is alive in ours lives, He has risen and invites us to live with a sense of resurrection; this is what gives purpose to our faith (1cor.15,14). The Apostles saw and experienced the risen Jesus. If we have faith, we also can see and experience him alive and present, shar-ing our lives. If we have faith, we know that Christ is with us eve-ry day, in the good and in the bad times until the last day (M 28, 19). Remember: We are preparing ourselves to celebrate The Vigil of Pentecost. Blessings, Father Jose Francisco Reyes Parochial Vicar
