Do you know someone who has thought about becoming Catholic or, for whatever reason, has been baptized but has not been confirmed or received Holy Communion? Please consider joining this year’s  OCIA Class  led and facilitated by  Deacon Nestor Fernandez and a team of knowledgeable catechists.

The OCIA program meets once a week  beginning in the Fall and concludes with the Easter Vigil where the students (candidates & catechumen) receive their sacrament(s). The class emphasizes prayer, discernment and spiritual formation as each candidate responds to their call to become followers of Jesus through the Catholic Church.

If you have any questions, know of someone who would like to discuss joining OCIA, are considering being a team member, or would just like to experience the OCIA process,    please contact Deacon Nestor before or after Mass, email him at DeaconNestor@comcast.net or call him directly at 415-672-5252.

To enroll in the OCIA Program, please stop by the Parish Office to obtain an enrollment form. Submit your completed enrollment form to Amor Baldomero or Patricia Abdelalim at the parish office. 

You can also register online by clicking on the button below.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit calls your friends, family members and/or acquaintances to seek a deeper relationship with Almighty God through his Church.

The Missionary Cooperation Plan of the U.S. Catholic Church, referred to as MCP, was started in the late 1930’s and is conducted in Dioceses across the U.S.  It is a way of centralizing the efforts of missionary organizations from around the world who wish to appeal to Catholics in the United States.  

The purpose of the MCP is two-fold.  First, the many men’s and women’s mission congregations, lay organizations and mission dioceses get a change to personally appeal for prayer and financial support from Catholics of the U.S.  Secondly, we Catholics get the opportunity to be educated about what is happening in the mission field today.  There are many new strides in mission.  We emphasize solidarity and understanding of situations that make life so difficult for so many people.  

Each parish within the Archdiocese of San Francisco is annually assigned a missionary group.  Appeals are made anytime from June through the end of September.

The plan gives parishioners an opportunity to learn about missions at home and abroad and an opportunity to financially assist the mission organizations in their efforts to spread the Gospel.  Please extend a warm welcome to the missionaries as they share their faith stories in your parish.

On August 15 & 16, we shall host the religious order of the Daughters of Mary for this year's MCP.  The visiting sister from the order is Sister Elizabeth Lima.

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.

Every Tuesday at 7:00pm

An excellent way to deepen our knowledge and appreciation of Sacred Scriptures, is to understand the context, history, and message of the different Books of the Bible.

Experience the life-changing and life-giving joy of service.

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 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!
