From the Desk of Father Lima

This Sunday’s first reading and psalm speak of life and love between husband, wife, and God. This week I would like to share a reflection by St. John Paul II:

“From the Lord they learn to love to the very end, in self-giving and forgiveness. And since He Himself lives out an indissoluble Covenant, they learn from Him an unwavering fidelity to the word and to the life that has been given to them.

La primera lectura y el salmo de este domingo habla de la vida y del amor entre esposa, esposo, y Dios. Les comparto una reflexión de San Juan Pablo Segundo:

“Del Señor aprenden a amar hasta el final, en el don y el perdón. Y puesto que él mismo vive una Alianza indisoluble, aprenden de él una fidelidad inquebrantable a la palabra y a la vida que se les ha dado.

Thanksgiving Day Masses

Thanksgiving Day Masses

Saint Gregory Catholic Church is pleased to offer two Masses on November 26th, Thanksgiving Day. The first Mass of the day will be at 8:30 am, missa simplex without music. The second Mass on Thanksgiving Day will be a concelebrated liturgy with music and choir at 10:30 am.

All are welcome to attend either of these two Masses, as we give thanks to God for our national heritage and the manifold blessings we have received during this most recent year of grace.

So that the priests can also celebrate a Thanksgiving meal, there will not be the normal Thursday adoration period nor evening confessions. These will be cancelled on this occasion. Thanksgiving blessings to all!

World Youth Day

World Youth Day

Five of our young parishioners, pictured here, are dreaming about attending World Youth Day in South Korea with Pope Leo next July. Youth from all over the world will be assembling there in spiritual solidarity with the Vicar of Christ. These young members of our parish community are hopeful to represent Saint Gregory and the Archdiocese of Miami at this significant gathering of the world youth.

To this end, due to the large financial requirements of such a pilgrimage, they are eager to welcome sponsorship donations. There are multiple ways to donate. First, they will soon be addressing the parish community and setting up a donation table after weekend Masses. Secondly, checks written to Saint Gregory with an indication of & “World Youth Day” in the memo section are now being accepted. Finally, there is soon to be a dropdown bar on our OSV on-line giving platform, enabling credit card donations to be processed on-line through the Saint Gregory website. They are grateful for your consideration. Please support our youth!
