MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!

Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo - Henryk Jan Botor

GREETINGS FROM FATHER ANGELITO

Christmas and the new year blessings to all of you. I am incredibly sad to tell you that our church in Calistoga is not open for services till Jan.8^th or until further notice. As we are passing through extraordinary and rather difficult time, it is important to remember that it is this earth and this humanity that Jesus had visited when he first came. and let the spirit of HOPE, Light and Prayer continue in our hearts till he returns. Like Mary, let us humbly walk with God. Rejoice in the Lord always! And especially pray for our health care workers and remember our brothers and sisters who are dying!

Mission Statement

We are a community of worship on Sundays and weekdays, growing spiritually, supporting the gracefully aging parishioners in our community, while also preparing and offering to our children in catechism class the tools they will need to use in their daily lives. We focus on training future Religious Education teachers about the teachings and protection of our children, with emphasis on their protection.

We support people in recovery from alcoholism and drugs. We are helping our young families with wedding ceremonies and do a follow up to confirm or assist in their spiritual growth.

We reach out to the poor as instructed by Pope St. John Paul II in his encyclical Solicitudo Rei Socialis and we reflect the wishes and prayers of our current Pope Francis.

OLPH is one of 42 parishes and 17 missions within the Diocese of Santa Rosa. We are focused on getting to heaven and you are most welcome to join us on our journey there.

GOSPEL FOR FEBRUARY 09,  2020

Jesus said to his disciples:

“You are the salt of the earth.

But if salt loses its taste,

with what can it be seasoned?

It is no longer good for anything

but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

You are the light of the world.

A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and then

put it under a bushel basket;

it is set on a lampstand,

where it gives light to all in the house.

Just so, your light must shine before others,

that they may see your good deeds

and glorify your heavenly Father.”

PRAYER INTENTION FOR 
FEBRUARY

Listen to the Migrants' Cries

We pray that the cries of our migrant brothers and sisters, victims of criminal trafficking, may be heard and considered.
