Second Sunday of Easter
Sunday of Divine Mercy
April 12, 2026
The Gospels tell us that Jesus appeared to the disciples on several occasions after they discovered that his tomb was empty. Part of the mystery of Jesus’ Resurrection is that he appeared to his disciples not as a spirit but in bodily form. The bodily form was not one that the disciples recognized though. In John’s Gospel, Mary of Magdala does not recognize that the figure standing before her is Jesus until he speaks to her. In Luke’s Gospel the disciples who meet Jesus on the road to Emmaus do not recognize him until he breaks bread with them. The resurrected Jesus had a physical presence, but the disciples couldn’t recognize Jesus unless he allowed them to. His resurrected body, nonetheless, showed the marks of his crucifixion.
From readings such as today’s Gospel, we also see that in his resurrected body, Jesus seems to be free of physical constraints. He appears to the disciples even though the doors were locked.
Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of peace and the gift of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, Jesus commissions his disciples to continue the work that he has begun: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” During the meeting, Jesus also shows the integral connection between forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The story of Thomas illustrates our Christian experience today: We are called to believe without seeing. In fact, all Christians after the first witnesses have been called to believe without seeing. Thomas’s doubt is hardly surprising; the news of Jesus’ appearance was incredible to the disciples who had seen him crucified and buried. Thomas’s human nature compelled him to want hard evidence that the Jesus who appeared to the disciples after his death was indeed the same Jesus who had been crucified. Thomas is given the opportunity to act on that desire. He is our witness that Jesus is really risen.
Our faith is based on the witness of the Church that has preceded us, beginning with Thomas and the first disciples. Through Baptism we receive the same Holy Spirit that Jesus brought to the first disciples. We are among those who are “blessed” because we believe without having seen.
2026 ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL APPEAL
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
The Archdiocesan Annual Appeal (AAA) provides parishioners throughout our Archdiocese with 93 parishes, a unique opportunity to come together as one. The AAA is essential to the work of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. We are spread over the counties of Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo and are one Archdiocese, collaborating in the ongoing mission of evangelization, and education.
The theme for this year’s Annual Appeal is from Isaiah 40:31,
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” As Catholics, we use our talents and provide our gifts for God’s Glory. One way we vividly do so is by supporting the programs and ministries of the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal.
This Sunday's 2nd collection will be for the 2026 AAA. Once again, we hope for 100% participation from our parish family this year.

STEWARDSHIP
The grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes, receives and cultivates God’s gifts, and generously shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.
A MESSAGE FROM FR. RAY
MARCH 2026
Dear SAC Parishioners,
As we begin Holy Week, please know of my prayers for you and your family during these holy days commemorating the Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. Allow me also to express my profound appreciation for your continued prayers, love and concern for me during this period of my recovery.
God truly hears our prayers. I have been doing very well and remained compliant on my post discharge kidney transplant care. A million thanks to my Care Team, my family and other parishioners for attending to my daily needs.
In a special way, I am deeply grateful to Father Ed for his leadership during my medical leave as well as to the support of the SAC Clergy, Fr. Ifeanyi, Deacon Nes and Deacon Virgil. Likewise, the parish Staff has always been supportive in ensuring my recovery goes well.
God-willing, I’ll be able to resume ministry at the latter part of next month when I end the first three months post-transplant period and hear from my transplant doctors their final assessment and recommendations.
May the Easter season that celebrates the Lord’s Resurrection bless you all with good health, happiness and peace!
Fr.Ray

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.

KEEPING OUR PARISH CLEAN: A Call to Action from our Ecology Committee (EC)
Keeping Our Parish Clean:
A Call to Action from our EC
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.
Thank you all for your cooperation!

A STRIKING MOMENT IN CATHOLIC LITURGY
Prostrated are Fr. Ifeanyi Uwabunkeonye, Fr. Ed Dura, Deacon Nestor Fernandez II, and Deacon Virgil Capetti.
The Clergy prostrated themselves on Good Friday, during the Liturgy of of the Lord's Passion as a profound act of humility. This gesture symbolizes their submission to God and their commitment to serve the Church. It reflects the deep emotional connection to the events commemorated on this day, particularly the Last Supper and the institution of the priesthood.
THE WASHING OF THE FEET
Fr. Ifeanyi Uwabunkeonye shown washing the feet of 12 parishioners. The Holy Thursday ritual symbolizes the commandment to love and serve one another, reflecting the teachings of Jesus.
