Join our entire faith community (students, alumni, long and short time community members) for our first Lenten Mission! Bishop Lobsinger will guide us deeper into this Lenten season as we approach Holy Week in this special year of St. Joseph called for by our Holy Father Pope Francis.
Still wanting to deepen your Lenten experience?
Looking to rekindle your faith after a year of ups and downs?
As disciples of Christ, this is the opportunity we’ve been waiting for, it’s not to be missed! ‘See’ or see you there!
Our Spring edition of the Gloria Dei will be in the mail soon! If you've not received one yet (we sent out editions in September and December) send us your mailing address so that we can get a copy out to you!
Friday, March 19 the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph. It is considered such a special feast day that the obligations of Lent are suspended and the Gloria is sung at Mass! Joseph is called the "just man", a simple man, who laboured as a carpenter to provide for Jesus and Mary. Yet God spoke to him in his dreams, providing him with the guidance needed to keep Mary and Jesus safe, and Joseph listened to God. Pope Francis has declared 2021 the year of Joseph. Enjoy this article on Joseph written by one of our former graduates, Louisa Florentin, now working for Salt and Light Media: https://slmedia.org/blog/9-reasons-why-we-should-pray-the-st-joseph-novena
Our mission continues! Great thanks to all for your continuing contributions, especially those who have signed up for recurring donations through our website. We continue to need your support. For those who prefer to donate through weekly envelopes, these can be dropped off at Mass on Sunday, or to the office trailer mailbox, between 11 am & 4 pm, on Wednesdays or Saturdays.
Congratulations to Virtues Serrano and Sarah Mandarano who have been elected to be next year's MACSA presidents. Please spare some prayers for them and all the leaders as they continue their mission this semester and look forward to the coming year!
With about a month of school to go, students are moving steadily through faith studies, and leaders are working hard to help participants grow in their relationships with God. Faith study leaders meet every two weeks in “mentorship groups” to support one another, learn new skills, and hear about the ways God is moving in each other’s groups. Please continue to pray for the students as they near the end of the studies and commit to taking the next step in their relationships with God.
Father's rectory has had some exterior doors installed! The woodwork is starting to begin!
Check out the other pics on our website of the building progress!
If you would like to have a Mass celebrated for a special occasion, on behalf of a family member, a friend, or a deceased loved one, please call the office to have that intention put into the calendar.

Pornography: The Threat, Impact and Catholic Remedy
Pornography is one of the most important issues to understand in our world today. With the ease of its availability on the internet, it affects people of all ages and backgrounds, whether male or female. Pornography today is violent and degrading and often involves young people who have been sex-trafficked. Join us on Zoom (by internet or phone) March 25th from 7-8:30pm and hear more about the threat and impact of pornography on children and adults, how we can educate ourselves and our children to counter its negative influence and how our Catholic faith provides hope to those impacted. Presented by Mrs. Teresa Hartnett and Deacon Joseph Di Loreto. Registration is required but the session is free of charge.
