UPDATE:
            Due to the high rise of the Delta variant in our country and our state we have been asked by the Archbishop and archdiocese liturgical office that we start wearing a mask again during the mass and indoor meetings in our parish offices. 

            Wearing a mask is not a political statement, rather it helps us to protect ourselves as individuals but also it protects our friends, grandparents, and all our loved ones around. In wearing a mask, we are only playing our part as individuals to eradicate the pandemic and we leave the rest to God to protect us.

            As we put on the mask again, let us not forget to pray for the end of the pandemic and for all those who lost loved ones due to the pandemic.  Let us pray for our children, that the good Lord my protect them from this deadly disease.

            Always in my prayers

          Pope Francis announced a special year dedicated to St. Joseph starting from 8 December 2020 until 8 December 2021, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church, as well as the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady.
            The Apostolic Penitentiary also issued a decree granting special indulgences for the duration of the special year to celebrate the anniversary and “to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custodian of Jesus.
            During this period, the faithful will have the opportunity to commit themselves “with prayer and good works, to obtain, with the help of St. Joseph, head of the heavenly Family of Nazareth, comfort and relief from the serious human and social tribulations that besiege the contemporary world today.                    
           St. Joseph pray for us.
