"Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness.” Celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord and making this craft that recall Jesus’ death and Resurrection and his glorious reign in heaven.

The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, Holy Week, is the most sacred time of year. During this special time, we enter into the passion of Christ — his crucifixion, death and resurrection — through liturgical celebration and personal conversion. While the season of Lent is a very important time in the Church, it is helpful to remember that our Lenten practices (prayer, fasting and almsgiving) are meant as preparation for the three days of the Triduum. There’s more help online to help you celebrate Holy Week at home.

Palm Sunday is the final Sunday of Lent, the beginning of Holy Week, and commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before He was crucified. This project is a good way to involve your children in our Catholic Traditions for Palm Sunday

From March 22th up to April 11th we will be in break for Holy Week and Easter break. We will resume classes on April 12th.

The dignity of the human person is rooted in his creation in the image and likeness of God ; it is fulfilled in his vocation to divine beatitude . It is essential to a human being freely to direct himself to this fulfillment. CCC 1700 This week we want to invite you to craft with us this project to help the Walking with moms in need Ministry.

God loves each human life from the instant of his or her conception and entrusts this gift to the protection of a mother and father.

In the time of Jesus, the temple was the most important of Jewish buildings because God was present there in a special way. Today, Jesus is present in a special way in the Eucharist, which is reserved in the tabernacle.

The Lenten journey on which embarked on Ash Wednesday only makes sense in the light of the goal that lies at the end of that road.

Ash Wednesday is the first day in the season of Lent. During Lent, we remember the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert being tempted by the devil. We do extra prayers, fasting, and almsgiving during this season of Lent. Ash Wednesday has many traditions for Catholic families and ways to observe this day, and also, anything you are doing for the length of Lent will start on this day.

Jesus still heals and takes care of people’s needs today. Last Sunday's Gospel tells us about healing. How many people do you think Jesus healed that night?

For Catholics, the liturgical calendar marks the Church year, a sequence of seasons and feasts celebrated in the liturgy during a year’s time. The liturgical calendar uses terms and measurements similar to a typical calendar. However, the liturgical calendar’s purpose is to celebrate and understand the mystery of Jesus Christ and the expectation of his return in glory. In each liturgical year, we celebrate the entire life and paschal mystery of Jesus Christ. Liturgies celebrated during different seasons have distinctive music and specific readings, prayers, rituals, and colors.

This past weekend was released a new Pastoral Note from Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron on Sacred Scripture named THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD. Here some information and activities related to this beautiful Pastoral Note.

Pope Francis has announced that this year (from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021) will be the Year of St. Joseph. The newly declared Year of St. Joseph is a great blessing for the Church. It provides a beacon of hope during a dark time, and an opportunity for people of faith to focus on a just and righteous man who has much to teach us.

The Christmas season is a season of celebration. The Church celebrates many important feasts during this time. Epiphany is one of the many important feasts during the Christmas season. The word epiphany comes from the Greek Epiphania, meaning “revelation.” Use the activity to celebrate it.

Joy is the true gift of Christmas...” – Pope Benedict XVI

During Advent, we prepare for this here-and-now coming of Christ by remembering the long years during which Israel waited for the coming of the Messiah, and by looking forward to the final coming of Christ at the end of time.

The word Advent comes from the Latin adventus, which means a coming, approach, or arrival. In the Church, it refers to the period encompassing the four Sundays prior to Christmas. It is a time of hopeful, joyous preparation for the coming of the Savior. This is what makes Advent special for us: the recognition that Christmas is not just “the birthday of Jesus,” but a celebration of his coming into our world today, here and now. How does he come into the world today? Jesus is “born”—becomes physically tangible—through the celebration of the sacraments. It is by eating the Eucharist, washing in the waters of Baptism, being anointed with the oil of Confirmation and so on, that Jesus’ friends become part of the living Body of Christ (the Church) in the world today. For Catholics, then, every celebration of the Eucharist and the other sacraments is like a little Christmas. During Advent, we prepare for this here-and-now coming of Christ by remembering the long years during which Israel waited for the coming of the Messiah, and by looking forward to the final coming of Christ at the end of time.

The month of November is filled with family gatherings and autumn activities. In the Church, this month is dedicated to the holy souls as we remember and give thanks for all believers who have gone before us.
