Letter from Fr. Aurelio 5/21/2020:
Dear friends:
As a parish community, together we are living through our return to the Church as per the Archdiocesan guidelines. In this “phase 1,” the doors of the Church will be open a few hours a day for prayer.
I was moved in my heart to see both adults and young people coming to make the “Blessed Sacrament” a visit to unburden their emotions and give their prayers. Some have also come prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confession. The joy on their faces behind a mask was palpable.
While the livestreaming of the Mass and other devotions is playing an important part in maintaining the life of faith, there is no substitute for Catholics being able to physically attend and participate in the celebration of the Mass and the other sacraments. Our faith is expressed powerfully and beautifully though “seeing, touching, and tasting.”
Together with Catholics everywhere, we desire the complete opening of our churches and access to the sacraments. Until then, we are invited to pray and prepare. We are looking forward to “Phase 2.”
As we are approaching the Solemnity of Pentecost, it is important to start the novena of preparation for the coming of the Holy Spirit which you will see in a tab above. “But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.” (John 16:13)
With my regard and the assurance of my prayer.
Rev. Aurelio Yañez
Pastor
