Virgin Mary Crowning
The month of May is dedicated to Mary. The traditional practice of crowning an image of Mary is done on the first day of May; however, this year at Transfiguration Church we celebrated May Crowning on the First Communion Masses on Saturday, May 2, 2021, to have the communicants bring to our Blessed Mother a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
We invite the parish community to continue to pray for these children who received the Holy Body of Christ for the first time.
Coronación de Virgen Maria
El mes de mayo está dedicado a María. La práctica tradicional de coronar una imagen de María se realiza el primer día de mayo; sin embargo, este año en la Iglesia de la Transfiguración celebramos la Coronación de Mayo en las Misas de Primera Comunión el Sábado 2 de Mayo de 2021, que los comulgantes lleven a la Santísima Virgen un hermoso ramo de flores.
Invitamos a la comunidad parroquial a continuar orando por estos niños que recibieron el Santo Cuerpo de Cristo por primera vez.

Reservations for mass attendance are no longer required. We hope that everyone will join us again for the celebration of our Liturgies:
Monday – Friday: 8:00 am English
Saturday: 4:00 pm English; 6:00 pm Spanish
Sunday: 8:00 am and 10:00 am English; 1:00 pm Polish
We will require masks for some time yet but you can sit closer to people (increased capacity), no temperatures when entering, though we will continue to sanitize your hands when you arrive. We expect some of these protocols to be relaxed in the coming weeks/months.
Lord, it is good to be here!

On behalf of the Transfiguration School of Religion director, Catechists, Frassati Principal, Teachers, Families, and Friends.
And united by the Most Blessed Sacrament, we would like to congratulate the 2020/2021 First Communicants!
Rev. Fr. Juan Avila Ibarra and Fr. Alex Garcia, welcome many families on Saturday, May 1, 2021, where 52 children united with Jesus Christ through the Holy Eucharist, the precious body of Christ. May that they be filled and nourished by our Lord and Savior. May the good lord guide them throughout their journey and pray that God’s grace shine upon them today as they grow in the spirit of His embrace now and always.
The whole parish community is invited to keep them in your prayers as they journey along with Christ.
