Love your Neighbor and Get Vaccinated

Ama a Tu Prójimo y Vacúnate

​There has been so much being written about the vaccine in today’s climate both in the church and in our society.  I have made a few statements on social media about the Church’s support for people to take the vaccine for their own health and welfare, but also for the community-at-large.  There continues to be a hesitancy in certain communities to take the vaccine, especially from an ethical standpoint.

Pope Francis proclaims “Year of St Joseph”

​“Go to Joseph! Have recourse with special confidence to St. Joseph, for his protection is most powerful, as he is the patron of the universal Church.” - Blessed Pope Pius IX

​With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph”.
Read “With a Fathers Heart”:


El Papa Francisco convoca a un "Año de San José" 

​Con la Carta apostólica Patris corde (Con corazón de padre), el Pontífice recuerda el 150 aniversario de la declaración de San José como Patrono de la Iglesia Universal y, con motivo de esta ocasión, a partir de hoy y hasta el 8 de diciembre de 2021 se celebrará un año dedicado especialmente a él.
