Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
January 4, 2025
What is the Epiphany?
The feast of the Epiphany commemorates the arrival of the magi (sometimes referred to as Three Kings or Wise Men) to visit Infant Jesus. It marks the arrival of visitors, identified in Scripture as the magi, to the place where Jesus was born.” The word itself means “divine revelation.”
On this feast of the Epiphany, let us, like the Magi, offer Jesus our grateful use of his gifts to us:
(a) His gift of friendship with God in the form of wholehearted love and devotion, such as the Adoration in the Blessed Sacrament;
(b) His gift of friendship with others by our exemplary lives of compassion and Christian charity in action; and
(c) His gift of reconciliation with God by making use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and by giving unconditional forgiveness to those who hurt us.
Jubilee Year of Hope Comes to an End
Please note that the Jubilee Year, Pilgrims of Hope, started by Pope Francis on Christmas Eve, 2024, will end on the Solemnity of the Lord's Epiphany, January 4, 2026.
On the Feast of the Lord's Epiphany
Just as Pope Francis opened the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome (the last Holy Door to close), so now will we witness Pope Leo XIV close the Holy Door on the Feat of the Epiphany as we enter into 2026. We can remember Pope Francis’ message, “Hope calls us to become pilgrims in search of truth, dreamers who never tire, women and men open to being challenged by God’s dream, which is of a new world where peace and justice rein.”
At SAC this weekend, we shall witness a simple yet symbolic end of the Jubilee Year. We shall pray the Jubilee Prayer composed by Pope Francis for the last time and the Jubilee Logo will be covered with a veil before the dismissal. We'll have the last chance to sing Jubilee Song at the Recessional as well.
Let's pray that the end of the Jubilee Year may strengthen our resolve to be Pilgrims of Hope and Bearers of God's Mercy for everyone.

He will be celebrating his farewell mass this Sunday, January 4th at the 9:00am. We are blessed to have Father Maurice spend his first few months with us as a newly ordained priest.

Once again, may I seek for your continued prayers for the success of my surgery and quick recovery. Thank you and I pray too that God's peace and joy find their way into your hearts and home this new year and beyond.
Happy New Year!

KEEPING OUR PARISH CLEAN: A Call to Action from our Ecology Committee (EC)
Keeping Our Parish Clean:
A Call to Action from our EC
**After receiving reports on rodent sighting in the Parish Hall**
As we come together in fellowship, it’s important that we also take responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of our church environment. After each event, ESPECIALLY those involving food, please ensure that all trash—whether it be compost, recycling, or regular waste—is disposed of properly. Trash and compost bags must be tied securely and placed in the designated dumpsters before leaving.
By keeping our spaces clean and free from waste, we not only protect the health of our community by preventing pests, but we also avoid costly clean-up fees. Let’s all do our part to preserve the beauty and safety of our parish for everyone.
Be on the lookout for the Ecology Committee's (EC) waste management tutorials, coming soon!
Stop by their table to sign up for more information during this weekend's ministry fair.
Thank you for your cooperation!

FRIDAYS @ SAC
ADORATION & CONFESSION
Every Friday, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for public Adoration after the 9:00am Mass until 5:00PM. It is usually concluded with silent reposition and Benediction on First Fridays.
Also each Friday, from 4:30pm, there's an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession. Our refurbished Confessional, provides the traditional screen that separates the priest confessor from the penitent as well as the option for a face to face confession.
Thanks to Deacon Virgil and the Liturgical Arts for making this sacred space for spiritual healing and reconciliation.

ANSWERING THE CALL
Today's Catholic Parents express some misconceptions about the priesthood as a vocation for their son. We'll hear them say, "He's too young... He'll be lonely... I won't have grandchildren... He'll be unhappy... I'll lose my son...."
The ideal Catholic parent understands a simple truth: that God desires the child's happiness even more than any parent does. If one's son experiences a genuine call or interest to becoming a priest someday, trust in God's love for him.
Below is the link to the Resources of Parents that answers to common misconceptions about the priesthood.
PRAY for the perseverance of our seminarians, especially those who are from the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
The Celebration of St. Augustine's
55th Parish Foundation Anniversary
A Recap of the Emerald Jubilee Gala
Celebrating the 55th Founding Anniversary of St. Augustine Church
The Gala took place at the South San Francisco Conference Center on Saturday, September 27, 2025. The event began with a warm welcome and introductory remarks from our Master of Ceremonies, Deacon Nestor Fernandez, and Mary Ann Narvaez, setting a positive tone for the evening.
The strong line up for the program included: Christine Adiaz and the St. Augustine Children’s Choir who immediately charmed the audience; special recognition was given to The Pastors of St. Augustine and Clergy who were present; The Santacruzan Sagalas were acknowledged for their significant contribution toward parish projects; a distinct group of dancers (who represented different generations of parishioners and ministry members) performed an elegant waltz number; followed by The Praise and Glorify Choir who performed a song and dance number to a medley of memorable Filipino songs, that caused the audience to erupt in applause at the end of their act. The dance floor was then opened by the mambo dancers who performed a graceful number to Mambo Italiano.
However, attendees began dancing from the onset. Once the Levites began playing their set during dinner, the dance floor was unofficially opened. Members of the Levites band are Fr. Peter Eugenio, Fr. Roland De La Rosa, Fr. Boie Espeleta, Fr. Mark Reburiano, Fr. Arnold Zamora, and our very own Pastor, Fr. Ray Reyes.
Gratitude for the day's achievements and success go to the organizers headed by Malou Cu, the participants, and our sponsors. Overall, the event was a resounding success, achieving the objective of joyfully celebrating the 55th founding anniversary of our parish and leaving a lasting memory with all who attended.
May St. Augustine Church continue to foster a vibrant and collaborative community as we live God’s Word and continue His Works.
