Posadas 

Posadas start on December 16. Due to COVID-19, this year we will not have a Parish Group Posada. However, we are asking for immediate family members to have a Posada in their homes with family members and keeping with county guidelines.

We will have an insert on the weekend of December 12 & 13 with directions and songs on how to do a posada.

Posadas empiezan el 16 de Diciembre, pero este año por razón del COVID-19 no tendremos el Grupo de Posada de la Parroquia en el salón. Les estamos sugiriendo que celebren una Posada
solamente en cada hogar y solamente con los miembros de cada familia, siguiendo según las guías del Condado. Tendremos un volante con instrucciones, y cantos de como conducir una Posada, en el fin de semana del 12, y 13 de Diciembre

Church does NOT approve homosexual marriages

In 2003, under the leadership of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and at the direction of Pope John Paul II, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught that “respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society.”

“Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behavior, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself,” the CDF added, calling support for such unions from politicians “gravely immoral.”

“Not even in a remote analogous sense do homosexual unions fulfil the purpose for which marriage and family deserve specific categorical recognition. On the contrary, there are good reasons for holding that such unions are harmful to the proper development of human society, especially if their impact on society were to increase,” the document said.
