Ministry Leader

Sergio y Sandra Gonzalez
(954) 300-3256

Somos un Apostolado Católico que con la guía del Espíritu Santo, tiene como misión principal enseñar que la santificación del matrimonio es actual y posible. Buscamos que cada matrimonio llegue a la perfección a la que ha sido destinado “desde toda la eternidad”, en la medida en que los cónyuges se conozcan, se acepten y se amen.

Para lograr esta misión nos apoyamos en una pastoral basada en las enseñanzas del Magisterio de la Santa Madre Iglesia, a través de actividades de formación, vivencia espiritual, vivencia sacramental y vivencia comunitaria que dan a los esposos herramientas a nivel práctico y espiritual, fortaleciendo así el vínculo entre ellos necesario para comunicar el amor y la misericordia de Dios a toda la familia.

Saint Gregory Catholic Church is happy to offer adults the opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about the Catholic faith through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. The RCIA is way that early Christians joined the Church through its Sacraments. The program serves:

  • Unbaptized adults and young persons who have reached the age of reason and wish to become Catholic;
  • Those baptized in another Christian Church who are seeking full communion with the Roman Catholic Church and seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation;
  • Baptized Catholic adults who were baptized as infants in the Catholic Church and now seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.

The 2020-2021 Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (“RCIA”) program at Saint Gregory will begin on September 13th and will take place on Sunday mornings at 9:00am.

El Rito de Iniciación Católica para Adultos (RICA), es un itinerario de 7 a 8 meses para adultos que no han recibido los Sacramentos de Iniciación Católica, (Bautizo, Comunión y Confirmación). La RICA se basa en cuatro puntos claves enrizados en la oración, evangelización, catequesis y formación fundamentada en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, las Sagradas Escrituras y las Enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica:

  • Invitar a adultos no bautizados a convertirse en miembros de la iglesia católica.
  • Re-integrar a adultos bautizados en la fe católica que no han sido catequizados o se han alejado de la fe.
  • Integrar a la iglesia a católica a personas bautizadas en otras comunidades cristianas.
  • Invitar a esos tres grupos de personas a vivir un itinerario espiritual que les ayude a madurar en su fe y a integrarse y enriquecer a su comunidad católica.

The young people of our church are our future. Saint John Paul II spoke directly to all youth at World Youth Day stating, "the Church needs your energies, your enthusiasm, your youthful ideals, I order to make the Gospel of Life penetrate the fabric of society, transforming people's hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love."

Here at Saint Gregory, we are creating a youth ministry for both Middle and High School students, so that they may know and encounter Christ in a personal way in a community of friends. By creating a shared community of faith, we can learn to manifest Christ in ourselves and to others.

The High School Youth Group meets Tuesday nights at 6:30pm in the Ministry Building, which is located at the end of the parking lot. Please join us. Contact Tony Crawford for more information.
