Daily Reflection
Saint of the Day
St. Martin de Porres
Optional memorial ·
The son of a Spanish nobleman and a freed woman, Martin faced prejudice yet became a Dominican brother in Lima known for tireless service. He cared for the sick of every class, fed the poor, and was said to have a tender love for animals. Humble to the point of calling himself a "poor slave," he is patron of social justice. Healings were reported at his hands.
“Everything, even sweeping or waiting on the sick, can be a prayer if it is offered to God.”

Bible Verse of the Day
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35

First Time?
You're welcome here.
Here are a few things we tell everyone before their first Sunday, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
- Can I receive Communion?
- Holy Communion is for Catholics in a state of grace who are prepared to receive it, but you are welcome to come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing, or simply stay in your pew and pray with us.
- How do I become Catholic?
- The first step towards becoming a Catholic starts with a meeting with our priest. Please call the front office or go in person to schedule a meeting.
- What should I wear?
- There is no strict dress code for attending Mass, but we encourage you to dress respectfully, as the Holy Mass is a time of sacred worship.
- I'm bringing kids.
- Please do. Little ones are always welcome. The Kenny Room, located to the right of the main entrance, is available if you fear that they will be disruptive.
Faith is a journey
“To be a saint is the most adventurous thing in the world.”
