Una Cuaresma bendita y novedades de la parroquia, por el padre Adrian
by Rev. Adrian Cisneros | 02/22/2026 | From the Clergy¡Hola, familia de San Estanislao!
¡Feliz Cuaresma! Disfruto mucho y aprecio el tiempo de Cuaresma, y ruego que aprovechen las oportunidades de oración, ayuno y limosna durante este tiempo penitencial. Notarán un interior de la iglesia más tranquilo, así como la Misa, ya que no hay Gloria ni cierta música en Cuaresma. Este tiempo suele ser más tranquilo, lo que nos dará tiempo para tomarnos un respiro, añadir un poco de oración diaria, asistir a Misa a diario, ayunar de algo, comer o beber, o dedicarnos a algún pasatiempo para centrarnos más en Dios en nuestras vidas. Por favor, revisen (y fotografíen) el folleto de Cuaresma 2026 para ver en qué oportunidades pueden participar a partir de esta primera semana completa de Cuaresma.

A Blessed Lent & Parish Update from Fr. Adrian
by Rev. Adrian Cisneros | 02/22/2026 | From the ClergyHello, St. Stanislaus family!
Happy Lent! I really enjoy and appreciate the Lenten season, and I pray that you take the opportunities of prayer, fasting and almsgiving during this penitential season. You will notice a toned-down church interior, as well as Mass because there is no Gloria and certain music in Lent. This season is usually a slower one, which should give us time to take a breath, add in some extra daily prayer, catch a daily Mass, fast from some food, drink or hobby to allow us to focus more on God in our lives. Please take a look at (and snap a photo of) the Lent 2026 flier to see what opportunities you can participate in beginning this first full week of Lent.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
by Deacon Juan Carlos Palomar | 02/15/2026 | From the ClergyThe Gospel for this Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Mt. 5:17-37) is quite long and contains several teachings and messages from Jesus.
Let us reflect on some words Jesus says to his disciples: “…if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away… if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away…” (Mt. 5:29-30).

Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
by Diácono Juan Carlos Palomar | 02/15/2026 | From the ClergyEl Evangelio de este domingo VI del Tiempo Ordinario (Mt. 5:17-37) es bastante extenso y encontramos varias enseñanzas y mensajes de Jesús.
Reflexionemos sobre unas palabras que Jesús dice a sus discípulos “… si tu ojo derecho es para ti ocasión de pecado arrancalo y tiralo lejos… si tu mano derecha es para para ti ocasión de pecado cortátela y arrojala lejos de ti…” (Mt. 5:29-30).

“You are the salt of the world. You are the light of the world.”
by Father Adrian Cisneros | 02/08/2026 | From the Clergy“You are the salt of the world. You are the light of the world.”
“Just so, your light must shine before others, that they mat see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”
These are three sayings taken from this Sunday’s Gospel, and as I was reflecting on the gospel, I was prompted to especially think of the youth of the Church. While these sayings refer to us disciples, I especially think they speak to our youth.

“Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Ustedes son la luz del mundo.”
by Padre Adrián Cisneros | 02/08/2026 | From the Clergy“Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Ustedes son la luz del mundo.”
“Así también, que brille la luz de ustedes ante los demás, para que vean sus buenas obras y glorifiquen a su Padre celestial.”
Estas son tres frases tomadas del Evangelio de este domingo, y al reflexionar sobre el Evangelio, me sentí impulsado a pensar especialmente en los jóvenes de la Iglesia.

Do I consider myself "blessed" in my life?
by Deacon José | 02/01/2026 | From the Clergy“Blessed” is an adjective that describes someone who feels very happy, fortunate, or blessed by some circumstance. It can also refer to something that produces joy or satisfaction.
Certainly, the statement that Jesus makes about who the blessed are, does not seem to conform to the common criteria of today's society or the personal criteria of many people. How can those who suƯer, those who weep, those who hunger and thirst for justice be blessed? Perhaps we could consider blessed the merciful, the pure in heart, those who work for peace, but the persecuted?

¿Me considero “dichoso” en mi vida?
by Diácono José | 02/01/2026 | From the Clergy“Dichoso” es un adjetivo que describe a alguien que se siente muy feliz, afortunado o bendecido por alguna circunstancia. También puede referirse a algo que produce alegría o satisfacción.
Ciertamente la declaración que hace Jesús acerca de quienes son los dichosos, no pareciera conformar los criterios comunes de la sociedad actual, ni los criterios personales de muchas personas. ¿Cómo pueden ser dichosos los que sufren, los que lloran, los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia?

Palabras de las Sagradas Escrituras para reflexionar en este Año Nuevo 2026
by Obispo Myron J. Cotta, D.D. | 01/25/2026 | From the Clergy"Vayan y busquen diligentemente al niño." "Él debe aumentar, yo debo disminuir."
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, En este Año Nuevo, estamos llamados e invitados a buscar diligentemente al Niño Jesús. En relación con esto, debemos disminuir y permitir que Jesús aumente en nuestras vidas. En referencia a la Primera Carta de Juan: "Si alguno ve que su hermano comete un pecando, que no lleva a la muerte, que pida y le dará la vida.

Words of Holy Scripture to reflect upon in this New Year 2026
by Bishop Myron J. Cotta, D.D. | 01/25/2026 | From the Clergy"Go and diligently search for the child.” “He must increase; I must decrease.”
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In this New Year, we are called and invited to diligently search for the Christ Child, Jesus. In relation to this, we are to decrease and allow Jesus to increase in our lives. In reference to the First Letter of John: “If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God, and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly.

Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
by Benny Kottarathil Antoney OSB | 01/18/2026 | From the Clergy"A la iglesia de Dios que está en Corinto, a ustedes que han sido santificados en Cristo Jesús, llamados a ser santos…" (1 Cor 1:2a)
En el lenguaje de Pablo, ser cristiano significa estar «en Cristo Jesús». Es más que creer en Jesús o aceptarlo. Mediante el bautismo fuimos hechos miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, y eso significa que ahora estamos en Cristo.

Second Sunday in Ordinary time
by Benny Kottarathil Antoney OSB | 01/18/2026 | From the Clergy“To the church of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy…” (1 Cor 1:2a)
In Paul’s language, to be a Christian means to be “in Christ Jesus”. It’s more than believing in Jesus or accepting him. Through baptism we were made members of the Body of Christ, and that means we are now in Christ. According to Paul as members of the mystical Body of Christ (i.e., the Church), we do not belong to ourselves anymore. We are no longer our own. We are “in Christ.”

Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
by Rev. Jovito (Jovy) Roldan | 01/04/2026 | From the ClergyMANY PEOPLE often go to fortune-tellers in order to know what their future would be or see how their future would look like. By merely looking at the stars, fortune tellers could foretell future events. Future events for them may be good or bad, depending on the arrangement of the stars. Sad to say, many of us Christians believe more on what they say rather than what the Sacred Scripture says. They put so much faith in fortune-tellers, and they are a kind of surrendering their own fate to them.

Solemnidad de La Epifanía del Señor
by Rev. Jovito (Jovy) Roldan | 01/04/2026 | From the ClergyMuchas personas acuden a adivinos para saber cómo será su futuro. Con solo mirar las estrellas, los adivinos pueden predecir acontecimientos futuros. Para ellos, los acontecimientos futuros pueden ser buenos o malos, dependiendo de la posición de las estrellas. Lamentablemente, muchos cristianos creen más en lo que dicen los adivinos que en lo que dice la Sagrada Escritura. Depositan tanta fe en los adivinos que, de alguna manera, les entregan su propio destino.
