Loving God, as Your Son hung upon the cross, He entrusted His Disciples to the tender care of His mother and thus formed from His own suffering a family of faith for all those who believe in Him. Help us now to embrace one another as broth-ers and sisters and strengthen the family Christ has called us to be. May we find comfort in the Virgin Mother’s arms. May we walk together to encounter the risen Christ in our hearts and in one another. And may the Holy Spirit unite us as we give witness to You, our God and Father, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dios amoroso, cuando Tu Hijo sufría en la cruz, confió a Sus Discípulos el cuidado de Su madre y, por medio de Su propio sufrimiento, construyó una familia de fe para todos aquellos que creen en Él. Ayúdanos a abrazarnos unos a otros como hermanos y hermanas, y así fortalecer la familia que Cristo nos ha llamado a ser. Que encontremos consuelo en los brazos maternales de la Virgen. Que caminemos juntos para encontrar a Cristo resucitado en nuestros corazones y en los corazones de los demás. Que el Espíritu Santo unifique nuestra nueva fami-lia, y demos testimonio de ti, Dios y Padre nuestro. Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son to save us and thus establish the Church as the Bride of Christ. Your Church is in need of servant leaders who will spend their lives in witness of their faith. We beg You for good and holy priests. In every age, You call men who follow Jesus to become servants and shepherds of Your people. You also call women to embrace a religious community and in doing so, to serve Your Church in love and charity. Send forth Your Holy Spirit and open their hearts to Your call and give these men and women the courage to give their lives completely to Jesus Christ. Be their rock of refuge and their light as they discern. Help us to support them on their journey, and to love them as His disciples. Give them the grace to guide the Church to follow Christ more closely. We ask you this in the name of Jesus Christ, the High Priest who intercedes for us before Your heavenly throne. Amen.

Padre Celestial, Tú enviaste a Tu Hijo a salvarnos y así estable-ciste la Iglesia como la Esposa de Cristo. Tu Iglesia está en necesidad de líderes humildes que se entregan sus vidas dando testimonio de su fe. Te suplicamos por sacerdotes buenos y santos. En cada época, Tú llamas a hombres a seguir a Jesús para convertirse en siervos y pastores de Tu pueblo. Tú también llamas a las mujeres a abrazar una comunidad religiosa y a servir a Tu Iglesia con amor y caridad. Envía Tu Espíritu y abre sus corazones a Tu llamado y dale a estos hombres y mujeres el valor de dar sus vidas completamente a Jesucristo. Seas su roca de refugio y su luz mientras disciernan. Ayúdanos a apoyarlos en su jornada, y a amarlos como Tus discípulos. Dales la gracia para guiar a la Iglesia y así seguir más de cerca a Cristo. Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Jesucristo, el Sumo Sacerdote que inter-ceda por nosotros ante Tu trono celestial. Amén.

We extend a warm welcome to all guests and to all those who are looking for a church to call home! We invite you to pray with us throughout the year. We encourage everyone who attends Mass regularly to register as a parishioner. Registration is important for you as well as for us. For you, registering means you have a family to come home to, a place where your voice as well as your prayers can be heard. If you are asked to be a godparent or sponsor, if you need a letter of support or reference for Immigration, a job interview, a college application, these can only be written for registered parishioners as they require stating how long or how well the person practices their faith.
