Mass is being celebrated in the Church following the current pandemic safety guidelines. Currently the guidelines allow up to 50% of building capacity, however 6 ft social distance must still be maintained. The distancing limits our inside attendance to about 150 people. Additional seating, shade and sound are provided in the church courtyard. The Diocese of Orange requires all in attendance, inside and outside, to wear masks covering the nose and mouth. You may still watch the Sunday liturgy in English (10 AM) and Spanish (1 PM) on our social media outlets:

Misa celebrada en la iglesia
Se está celebrando misa en la Iglesia siguiendo las directrices de seguridad de la pandemia. En la actualidad, las directrices permiten hasta el 50% de la capacidad de creación, sin embargo, hay que mantener una distancia social de 6 pies. La distancia limita nuestra asistencia interna a unas 200 personas. En el patio de la iglesia se proporcionan asientos, sombra y sonido adicional. La Diócesis de Orange requiere que todos los feligreses, dentro y fuera, lleven mascarillas cubriendo la nariz y la boca.
Todavía puede ver la liturgia dominical en inglés y español en las páginas de YouTube o Facebook de la parroquia.
Por el Evangelio del Domingo de Ramos, volvemos al Evangelio según San Marcos. El relato de la Pasión ocupa casi un tercio de todo el Evangelio según Marcos y, de todos los evangelistas, él es quien presenta los detalles más gráficos. Marcos representa la humanidad de Jesús con mayor intensidad, describiendo sus sufrimientos a fondo. Presenta a Jesús como el cumplimiento completo del “Siervo sufriente” de Isaías, el esclavo humilde y obediente que muere en la cruz y de quien Pablo habla a los filipenses. Pero es importante recordar que a esto lo llamamos “Semana Santa” y no “semana triste” o “semana de sufrimiento”, porque cada una de las lecturas de hoy, incluso los lamentos del Salmo, terminan con la promesa de la fuerza y la esperanza que son otorgadas por Dios a los que fielmente dan de sí mismos en amor. A medida que entramos a esta semana por vía de estas lecturas, debemos reflexionar profundamente sobre los sufrimientos de Jesús, pero con la tranquilidad de la alegría de la vida resucitada y eterna que nos espera a todos los que fielmente caminamos con él durante estos días.
