St. Lorenzo Ruiz

As a church we're adjusting and adapting to the new normal. We have moved to livestreaming masses on Facebook. Our staff and faculty are working very hard to make sure you stay connected to the church at the comfort of your house. We are doing our best to serve you as we all transition to this new online format.

We don't know when things will go back to normal, it is out of our control. All that we can do is stay safe and continue practicing our faith from home. We understand that there's quite amount of confusion on how some programs and events will go forth during this pandemic, here are some frequently asked questions:
 

• What about First Communion/Confirmation Ceremonies (Adult and Youth)/RCIA?  As of all ceremonies they have been postponed until further notice. Faith formation will notify everyone in the programs about ceremonies when dates have been decided  

• What about Youth Confirmation paperwork, servicehours, etc.? The required confirmation classes for youth has been accommodated to the current situation and will not get penalized. For any paperwork submission have your child contact their confirmation teacher or Xavier. Currently dont worry about services hours, the topic is still being discussed on how to move forward but your child will be notified when a decision has been made.

• What About Adult Confirmation? – The required confirmation classes for adults has been accommodated to the current situation and will not get penalized. 

• What about upcoming retreats? All upcoming retreats have been postponed until further notice of lockdown regulations.

As a faith community, we LEARN and EDUCATE...

                                    We are a PROPHETIC community

Catholic Education is a ongoing process that is intertwined with human growth and development. It goes way beyond schooling. Beginning from the home, it continues in the school and matures through involvement with the parish community. the St. Lorenzo Ruiz's Prophet arm serves four particular groups in our Parish: the adults, young adults, youth and children. Each group is composed of serveral ministries.

Let us remember that WE are church and Jesus calls us to share the beautiful mission of love and spreading the Good News. 
Let us invite the Holy Spirit to ignite our hearts and seek the path of missionary discipleship.

This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord. In the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples “behold, I am with you always until the end of the age” reassuring us that we can always rely on Jesus’s presence in our lives.

We pray that this week’s resource will help you and your parish families strengthen and deepen your faith!

In this weekend’s Gospel, Jesus tells His disciples that he will always be with them, even when they no longer can see him. He will not leave them orphaned. And whoever keeps his commandments will be loved by Jesus and by God the Father. What a hope-filled message for us! 

En el Evangelio de este fin de semana, Jesús les dice a sus discípulos que siempre estará con ellos, incluso cuando ya no puedan verlo. No los dejará huérfanos. Y el que guarda sus mandamientos será amado por Jesús y por Dios el Padre. ¡Qué mensaje lleno de esperanza para nosotros!

¡Oramos para que el recurso de esta semana te ayude a experimentar esa esperanza también!
