First Sunday of Lent

February 22, 2026

Led by the Spirit

Today’s readings focus on temptation. Matthew describes Jesus as being “led by the Spirit” into the challenging environment of the desert. Our own Lenten journeys can mirror this experience, and we can gain courage through Jesus’ insight of temptation.


In Genesis, Adam and Eve are tempted by the serpent, and in the Gospel Jesus faces three temptations. These stories invite a deeper look at the nature of temptation.


Genesis is commonly read as a story of pride, but it could be of insecurity. The serpent suggests Adam and Eve aren’t good enough, encouraging them to seek advancement, just like the influence of modern marketing over our self-worth. The true temptation is to doubt our goodness and worth; a challenge intensified by invasive ads and the pressures of social media.


The three temptations of Jesus revolve around security, power, and greed. Yet, instead of clever responses, Jesus consistently refers to Scripture and relies on divine wisdom.


In the same way, when faced with adversity, we are encouraged to turn to the Gospel rather than relying on the quick fixes offered by society. This Lent, let us examine ourselves. Let us resist these doubts, be led by the Spirit, and embrace the truth: that we are created and loved by God.

Fil-Am priests become ‘twin brothers’ after kidney donation


Fr. Francis Garbo is 'my hero and now my twin brother,' shares Fr. Ray Reyes



By: Cherie M. Querol Moreno - @inquirerdotnet

INQUIRER.net US Bureau / 07:27 PM February 17, 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 ...   Read the Inquirer article

First Year Confirmation Students Completed their Two-Day Retreat!

Congratulations to our thirty-seven 1st-year Confirmation students on completing their retreat this past Sunday! This meaningful two-day experience was made possible by our dedicated young leaders and chaperones, who faithfully walk alongside these students as they journey toward receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in Spring 2027. We pray that the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, through God's unconditional love, be with them to guide them, comfort them, protect them and inspire them each day.


FFP's Fun Run Exceeds their Goal!

St. Augustine Faith Formation's (Super Mario) Fun Run last, Saturday, February 7 was an outstanding event. Filled with enthusiasm and excitement, the positive energy and participation made the day memorable for everyone involved.


As of this writing, the fundraiser has raised $40,049.00 in donations (exceeding the program's goal of $40k) Sr. Ruth Linaac and the catechists sincerely appreciate the kindness and generosity shown by the donors. The donations will enable the program to continue passing on the Word of God to future members of our Church, ensuring that our faith community remains strong and vibrant.


On behalf of Fr. Ray, Sr. Ruth, the parish staff, and the entire program, heartfelt thanks goes to everyone for their ongoing support in nurturing the faith formation of our children. May God bless you richly, for your kindness and willingness to help.

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.

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.
