Calendar of Events

Place Where Beauty is at Home

In celebrating the Eucharist through the ages, the Church has felt the need to be “a place where beauty is at home.” The architecture of basilicas, cathedrals, and churches attests to something more than a concrete need for space and shelter. The altar is more than a table, the ambo more than a bookstand, and the tabernacle more than a cupboard. Our churches and their furnishings bear witness to the Mystery of Faith and to the “eucharistic amazement” that rises in the adoring heart.

The beauty that is the work of human artisans raises the mind and heart to the Author of all beauty and, in some way, says, “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just.” The humblest chapel and the poorest church becomes the theatre of a lavish love when Christians, seized by the gift of the Eucharist, seek to respond to it with.

Si tiene intenciones de misas, por favor anótelas por lo menos 5 minutos antes de la misa. Se anunciarán antes del comienzo de la misa. Los anunciamos antes para que una vez que comience la misa, podamos entrar en el tiempo y los ritmos sagrados de la misa. También, sepa por favor que sus intenciones de la misa son siempre buenas. Y si no se lee en voz alta antes de la misa por alguna razón, por favor, sepa que la misa todavía se ofrece para esas intenciones.
