Welcome to Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Message from the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The reading of the Passion marks the beginning of the most significant week in our annual Christian Journey. It will lead us from the joyful entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, through his passion and death, to the resurrection of Easter. We enter Holy Week with St. Matthew’s Gospel highlighting how much Jesus loves life and how intensely he loves others. For the sake of others, he was willing to give over his own life. He healed, comforted, forgave and instilled hope in others. We also are to give our lives over for others. We commit ourselves to be especially aware of those around us in need. However, this Holy Week is not intended to simply be like past holy weeks. We are called to embrace this Holy Week with our whole humanness. We are called to embrace the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus as unique, and as our own experience of faith in this time of crisis. This Holy Week is not going to be celebrated in a large congregation of our parochial community as usual, but it is a personal invitation to become engaged in Jesus' journey and to make connections with our own journey in our heart, mind, and soul. This holy week gives each one of us the chance to meet Jesus in the deepest and personal way of our life, our own silence. This Holy Week also gives us the chance to reconnect, to refresh and to overcome any family issue and become stronger families through the grace and mercy of our Lord. As a community with a profound faith in our Lord, we continue to pray for all of you involved in the medical care of all the sick, all of you who work serving the public, and those who are promoting the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus, you be safe.

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas, La lectura de la Pasión marca el comienzo de la semana más importante en nuestra jornada cristiana anual. Nos llevará desde la entrada gozosa de Jesús a Jerusalén, a través de su pasión y muerte, hasta la resurrección. Entramos en la Semana Santa con el Evangelio de San Mateo destacando cuánto Jesús ama la vida y cuán intensamente ama a los demás. Por el bien de los demás, estaba dispuesto a entregar su propia vida. Sanó, consoló, perdonó e infundió esperanza en los demás. Sin embargo, esta Semana Santa no pretende ser simplemente como las últimas semanas santas. Estamos llamados ha abrazar esta semana santa con toda nuestra humanidad. Estamos llamados ha abrazar la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesús como algo único y como nuestra propia experiencia de fe en este momento de crisis. Esta Semana Santa no será celebrada en una gran congregación de nuestra comunidad parroquial como de costumbre, pero es una invitación personal para participar en la jornada de Jesús y hacer conexiones con nuestra propia jornada de fe en nuestro corazón, mente y alma. Esta semana santa nos da la oportunidad a cada uno de encontrarnos con Jesús de la manera más profunda y personal de nuestra vida, nuestro propio silencio. Como comunidad de profunda fe en nuestro Señor, continuamos orando por todos ustedes involucrados en la atención médica de todos los enfermos, todos los que trabajan sirviendo al público y aquellos que promueven la prevención de la propagación del coronavirus. Por favor cuídense!
Rev. Benjamín Romero Arrieta, CMF
