Second Sunday of Lent
March 1, 2026
The Transfiguration of Jesus
For the second Sunday of Lent, we move from Jesus’ retreat to the desert to his Transfiguration. Each year on the first Sunday of Lent, our Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. On the second Sunday of Lent each year, we hear the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration.
The story of Jesus’ Transfiguration is told in the three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In each of those Gospels, the Transfiguration follows Jesus’ first prediction of his death and his teaching about the costs of discipleship. Jesus’ Transfiguration is a promise of Jesus’ glory, his Resurrection.
On a mountain in today’s reading, a voice affirms that Jesus is God’s Son in words reminiscent of the voice at Jesus’ baptism. In addition, the appearance of Moses and Elijah on the mountain connects this story with God’s relationship to the people of Israel. Moses and Elijah represent the Law and the Prophets, respectively. Together with Jesus, they represent God’s complete Word.
The Transfiguration occurs in the presence of just three of Jesus’ disciples: Peter, James, and John. In Matthew’s Gospel, those disciples are among the first whom Jesus calls. The three men are identified as an “inner circle” among Jesus’ disciples when Jesus asks them to accompany him to the Garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest.
UPSIDE: Pastors now ‘twin brothers’ after kidney donation
manilateam Posted on February 26, 2026
SAN FRANCISCO – Prayer is at the heart of the inspirational relationship between two Filipino American priests.
St. Augustine Catholic Church Pastor Rev. Raymund Reyes and Mission Dolores Basilica and Mission San Francisco de Asis Pastor Rev. Francis Mark Garbo have known each other for almost three decades, connected by their birthland, faith and vocation. Twenty days into this new year, the two became more than brothers of the cloth.
“Father Francis is a saint, my hero and now my twin brother,” Reyes told INQUIRER.NETUSA, exulting Garbo for having given him the “gift of a second life” – a healthy new kidney.
Theirs is a story of faith, hope and generosity. Transplantation between ...Read More

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.

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!

Wrapped in Mercy, Hope Renewed
The 2026 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress gathered Catholics from around the world for another inspiring experience. It was filled with dynamic workshops, liturgies, exhibits, and entertainment, which highlighted the richness and beauty of the Catholic faith. Youth Day opened the event on Thursday, February 19 and Adult Days began on Friday, February 20.
Guided by the theme "Wrapped in Mercy, Hope Renewed!" the adult sessions focused on mercy, forgiveness, and hope, inspiring attendees to embrace mercy and experience renewal, In addition, Pope Leo XIV sent a special message to educators, urging them to deepen their relationship with Jesus and to share the Gospel authentically.
Among the cherished experiences was Sacred Space, a tranquil setting where participants could spend time in silent prayer before the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, view sacred art, and walk the labyrinth. Following the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on Saturday evening, and throughout Sunday, attendees had the unique opportunity to venerate the relic of St. Carlo Acutis which was flown in from Assisi, Italy.
St. Augustine parish was represented by 43 delegates. All have returned safely, feeling spiritually renewed and inspired by their experiences.

Please join us in honoring St. Joseph with Rosary and Novena prayers from March 10–18, culminating in the celebration of Holy Mass on his Feast Day, March 19.

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.
