Along the way, you will witness key moments in salvation history, including the Annunciation; the Nativity; Jesus’ baptism; his public ministry; the Last Supper; and Jesus’ suffering, death, and glorious Resurrection. The Gospel’s powerful prose and beautiful details will deepen your desire to draw closer to Jesus and be transformed by his teachings.
The Gospel of Luke continually reveals how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. With Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled, you will experience joy as you see how God has been faithful throughout the ages and how God’s promise can guide you in your everyday lives.

Encounter
2025-11-07 09:00 - 20:00, 2025-12-05 09:00 - 20:00
In our busy lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the One who gives us true peace and purpose. That’s why we set aside time for Encounter, a day dedicated to prayer, adoration, and personal connection with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Adoration is a powerful way to spend quiet time with the Lord, to rest in His presence, and to allow Him to speak to our hearts. Whether you can come for a few minutes or stay for an hour, your time before the Blessed Sacrament is an offering of love and trust.
This Friday, we invite you to make space in your day to be with Jesus. Come whenever your schedule allows:
9am: Our day of prayer begins with Mass in English.
9:30am-7pm: After Mass, Father will expose the Blessed Sacrament on the main altar of the Church for silent prayer. Adoration will continue in the Church until 7pm. Everyone is welcome—parishioners, friends, visitors, ministries, and small groups are all encouraged to come, spend time with Jesus, and adore Him in the Blessed Sacrament.
7pm: We will begin a special period of praise & worship, prayer & reflection, culminating with Benediction.

Presented by Pablo and Ana Correa in Spanish

We invite you during this “favorable time” to take a moment along life’s journey and reflect on how the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity can become the guiding center that leads our hearts and actions toward a future illuminated by the light of Christ. Let us begin the new year renewed by His birth.
