Photos of Parish Life

On Saturday December 6, more than 100 parishioners and seven seminarians celebrated the ancient liturgy of the Rorate Caeli Advent Mass, which commences before dawn and is lit only by candles. The Mass honors the Blessed Virgin Mary and symbolizes Christ—the Light of the World—entering into the world with Mary as the vessel.

Rorate Caeli is Latin for “drop down, ye heavens,” and drawn from the prophecy of Isaiah 45:8. These are the opening words of this liturgy’s “introit,” a psalm verse with an antiphon, sung at the beginning of the Mass.
After the Mass a hot breakfast sponsored by the Adoration team and the Knights of Columbus was served in the church hall.

Shortly after being ordained, Deacon Kevin Tanel joined the parish for daily masses at the South Church and weekend Masses at the North Church. Among preaching at daily and weekend Masses, he was involved with Totus Tuus and visits with parishioners. Deacon Kevin has served St. Francis Borgia in the past three years as a seminarian.

Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament and there are miracles to prove it. From February 7-9, San Salvador Council Knights of Columbus hosted the Vatican International Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit at St. Francis Borgia. Over 100 miracles were highlighted where Eucharistic hosts miraculously turned into visible flesh and blood. Hundreds of parishioners and others from the area came to see the display and were amazed and edified.
