The 6:30 am and 8:00 am daily Masses for this Monday and Tuesday will be in the Fr. Puhl Center as usual. The three morning Masses on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be at the same time but they will be celebrated at Our Lady of Visitation Church, 2531 W. 65th Place. Why the change? [...]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of our parish! May God give to you and your families a truly blessed and joyful Mother’s Day. We do not tell you often enough that “We love you”. On this day we renew our devotion to you and our desire to place you always in the hands [...]

There will be a beautiful Holy Hour and Benediction here in the new church on Monday, May 17th, at 7:00 pm. We have the great honor of having Bishop Conley with us to lead the prayers and I encourage as many of you to come as are able. There will be many priests joining us [...]

You’ve seen the bumper sticker, right? “Love your Mother.” Great sentiment, almost Biblical. In fact, one of the commandments that God gave Moses on Mount Sinai, says… “Honor your father and your mother.” Except that the bumper sticker I’m referring to shows a picture of the earth, drawn in green.

On Mother’s Day we will place upon the altar the names of your mothers, living and deceased, and commend them to the Lord Jesus. How do you place your mother’s name on the altar? Just fill out the Mother’s Day offering envelope and return it by Friday, May 7th, and we’ll place it on the [...]

During the entire month of May we will pray the Rosary in common before all the weekend Masses. When we pray the Rosary together, our parish asks Mary’s intercession and prayers for our families and loved ones. She always points us to her Son, Jesus, helping us to follow Him more lovingly. So, beginning next [...]

Once in a while, at a given situation, an old Italian saying pops into my mind, and I am always struck of how deep the Catholic roots of my Country are. Last year I mentioned a few, and this year I’ll expand on the theme. You’ll notice that there are some for all occasions: some [...]
