Welcome to the Saint Dominic Parish Web site! Our Parish exists to meet the needs of its members and to help witness the transforming love of Jesus Christ in our lives. Our Parish is involved in many activities designed to meet our community needs. We worship together as a community of believers. We support one another in living Christian values and beliefs. We nurture the faith of our members in a variety of ways including adult education and catechetical programs for the children and the young people of our community.
We hope that we can serve your religious needs by the quality of our Liturgy which constitutes the focal point of any Catholic Community. If you have questions please call us. We look forward to having you share your gifts with us.

CHRISTMAS 2024
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS:
Each Christmas day is meant to be uniquely different from those in our memories and those in our dreams. The Incarnation of Jesus Christ is a testimony of God’s love for us as he sends his only begotten son to live among us and thus show us how to truly live our lives. Christmas is there for us, to realize that giving of ourselves generously to others in a trusting and caring way is God’s message to us as he shows us the way. It is the annual inspiration to see that we have also been created in the image and likeness of God and so our lives and daily actions should reflect that gift from God.
These are exciting, wonderful, hope-filled moments as we celebrate the birth of Christ at Christmas. I do pray that they will fill our hearts, and minds, and lives with the treasures of the Incarnation. I am so deeply impressed by the spirit of the season that so permeates St. Dominic Community these days. Your generous support of our parish activities, our religious program with our CCE children and young people, the elderly, the sick and struggling has been most impressive. Celebrating, giving, loving and gathering are the ultimate ways in which we keep Christ in Christmas.
I want to thank all those who have been supporting the community in this season’s celebrations. I want to give a shout out to our parish staff for their self-less commitment to our parish community, to our committed volunteer catechists under the leadership of Ana Garcia Martinez, Ayerim Alvarez, Reyna Mendez, Deacon Rogelio Mendez for their dedication and commitment.
I hope you and your family, relatives and friends receive the blessing of the season as God shows us the way to true life as he sends his son into our midst this year.
Merry Christmas!
FR. ROGER ESTORQUE
