Cancer Journey Strengthens Faith

Ricardo Perez, a parishioner of the Basilica of San Albino, faced a life-altering diagnosis of midline diffuse glioma, an aggressive brain tumor, in January 2024.  On September 12, from 6-7 PM, Ricardo and his wife will hold a cancer support group meeting. Join them if you have cancer, know someone affected, or want to learn how to support those with a diagnosis. With approximately 9.7 million cancer-related deaths worldwide annually, this group offers a chance to provide support or gain insights on helping others.

Radio Mass Broadcast to End September 1, 2025

As of September 1, 2025, we will no longer be broadcasting the Sunday Masses via radio. It is questionable who owns the parking area between the plaza and the Church, and because you need to be on Church property to fully participate in the Mass, we will be discontinuing the radio broadcasting. We are sorry if this is inconvenient. It is best if you can come into the Church for Mass. We will still be utilizing the exterior speakers for Sunday if you wish to remain outside. However, please make sure you are on church property so that you fully participate in the Mass. Thank you.

Rosary & Adoration

6:30pm-7:30pm Monday bilingual

Saint of the Week

St. Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) was a brilliant North African bishop, theologian, and philosopher whose writings became the foundation of much of medieval and modern Christian thought. A master rhetorician, he converted to Christianity after a period of searching and struggle, which he documented in his spiritual autobiography Confessions. His major works, including Confessions and The City of God, defended Christianity and explored human nature, influencing the church's understanding of grace, original sin, and predestination.

Sacraments

The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are sacred rituals instituted by Jesus Christ to impart divine grace and guide the faithful through key moments of life. Baptism cleanses original sin and welcomes one into the Church. Confirmation strengthens the baptized with the Holy Spirit for a mature faith. The Eucharist nourishes spiritual life through the Body and Blood of Christ. Penance (or Reconciliation) offers forgiveness for sins through confession. Anointing of the Sick provides grace and comfort to those seriously ill or dying. Holy Orders ordains men as bishops, priests, or deacons to serve the Church. Matrimony unites a couple in a sacred, lifelong bond reflecting Christ’s love. Together, these sacraments foster spiritual growth and communion with God.
