    Under One Roof, Sheltered by Your Generosity

    Bajo un mismo techo, cobijados por su generosidad

    Work has begun on our new roof — the fruit of months of preparation and the quiet, faithful generosity of this parish family. Fr. Álvaro shares the good news, a birthday reflection, and an invitation to renew your support for the Parish Maintenance Fund.

    Dear Parishioners,

    I am pleased to announce that work is underway on a new roof. This is the result of many months of study and preparation. It is becoming a reality thanks to recent significant donations, as well as the ongoing monthly donations to the parish maintenance fund. I consider this to be the best birthday present, and today, Sunday 23 August, is my birthday. At least three other parishioners are celebrating their birthdays today too. Most of them are younger than me! I think this gift is the best because it benefits the whole parish family, which is my goal as pastor and father to all. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to ask for your renewed commitment to donating to the Parish Maintenance Fund. This special collection takes place on the first Sunday of the month (the next one will be on 5 and 6 September).

    We are planning more exciting renovations, including new restrooms in the narthex.

    You can sign up for online parish maintenance donations here using PushPay, our new digital platform.

    God bless you, and thank you for your stewardship and kindness!

    Fr. Álvaro
