Pastor's Message

Brothers & Sisters,

The month of March is dedicated to St. Joseph.

Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Virgin Mary Blessed Joseph, husband of Mary, be with us this day. You protected and cherished the Virgin; loving the Child Jesus as your Son, you rescued Him from the danger of death.

Defend the Church, the household of God, purchased by the Blood of Christ. Guardian of the Holy Family, be with us in our trials. May your prayers obtain for us the strength to flee from error and wrestle with the powers of corruption so that in life we may grow in holiness and in death rejoice in the crown of victory. Amen.

St. Martin de Porres, pray for us!
Fr. Dominic

Hermanos hermanas,

El mes de marzo está dedicado a San José.

San José, Esposo de la Virgen María. Bendito José, esposo de María, esté con nosotros en este día. Protegiste y acariciaste a la Virgen; amando al Niño Jesús como a Hijo tuyo, lo rescataste del peligro de muerte.

Defender la Iglesia, casa de Dios, comprada con la Sangre de Cristo. Guardián de la Sagrada Familia, acompáñanos en nuestras pruebas. Que tus oraciones nos obtengan la fuerza para huir del error y luchar con los poderes de la corrupción para que en la vida crezcamos en santidad y en la muerte nos regocijemos con la corona de la victoria. Amén.

¡San Martín de Porres, ruega por nosotros!
Padre Dominic
