Unity of Faith & Hope

6/29/2025

On this June 29 the Church joyfully celebrates the feast of Saints Peter and Paul—pillars of our Christian faith. Peter, the fisherman chosen by Jesus to be the rock of the Church, and Paul, the tireless missionary to the nations, inspire us with their courage and faithfulness, even in the face of persecution.
We also lovingly remember Saint Nicholas of Myra, our dear patron, whose feast we will celebrate on December 6. A generous bishop and defender of the poor, he continues to inspire our commitment to charity and community.

This Sunday, we were blessed to welcome a visiting family who came to present their little daughter for future baptism. We also welcomed the young man Joel , a faithful participant in our community, who was baptized by Father José years ago while serving at Trinity Church.

With joy, we also welcomed new families who have returned to the Church, finding in this community a spiritual home and a place of faith.

Despite the cold and the fears caused by immigration concerns (ICE), we walk with faith, like Peter and Paul. May faith guide us, hope sustain us, and community embrace us.

Este 29 de junio, la Iglesia celebra con alegría la fiesta de los santos Pedro y Pablo, pilares de la fe cristiana. Pedro, el pescador elegido por Jesús como la roca de la Iglesia, y Pablo, el incansable misionero, nos inspiran con su valor y fidelidad, incluso ante la persecución.

Recordamos con cariño a San Nicolás de Mira, nuestro querido patrono, cuya fiesta celebraremos el 6 de diciembre. Un obispo generoso y defensor de los pobres, nos sigue inspirando a vivir la caridad.

Este domingo, recibimos con alegría a una familia visitante, que presentó a su hijita para el futuro bautismo, También fue una bendición ver entre nosotros al joven Joel, quien participa con frecuencia en nuestra comunidad y que fue bautizado por el Padre José hace años, cuando servía en la Iglesia Trinity.
Con alegría, damos la bienvenida a nuevas familias que han regresado a la Iglesia, reencontrando en esta comunidad su hogar espiritual y lugar de fe.

A pesar del frío y del temor causado por la situación migratoria (ICE), caminamos con fe, como Pedro y Pablo.
​
Que la fe nos guíe, la esperanza nos fortalezca y la comunidad nos abrace.
