A person once asked a friend, “When did you decide to follow Jesus?” And the friend answered, “This morning!” The decision to live the Christian life is ratified by the decisions we make each and every day. The decision to reach out in love and respect to our world and our sisters and brothers is a daily choice. UPDATE—COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) CLOSURE: MESSAGE FROM FR GERARDO: My dear brothers and sisters, we are holding in person worship services for Sundays, up to 50 people indoors. Masks and social distancing are required. We encourage you to bring your own copies of a BCP, bible and/or hymnal, if desired, However, we have everything you need on the screen. We will continue to provide online Wednesday and Sunday services through live streaming for those who cannot attend in person. This announcement also serves to invite everyone to come to church through a reservation by contacting the office. That being said, because we have to allow for staff and clergy, we can allow up to 45 people, on a first come, first serve basis in. We have had plenty of room each week, so if you decide last minute that you would like to attend worship services, please come to church! We have room for you! For now, Wednesdays will remain as a live stream online only with NO in-person worship. It is important to note that there still can be no coffee hour or shared meals or events involving food.
