Help Restore Mobility and Hope: Support KOC's Wheelchair Drive!

Join Us in Changing Lives! Donate Today to Continue the Mission

On Sunday, February 22, Knights of Columbus Council #9714, together with the  State Council and the American Wheelchair Mission, held their Wheelchair Drive. Their goal is to “provide a free wheelchair to anyone in the world who needs one and cannot afford one.” We are grateful to those who already donated.

A $150 donation delivers one new wheelchair (retail value ~$500) to someone in need worldwide. Any amount is gratefully accepted. 

To donate:

• Pick up envelopes at the Parish Office.
•  Make checks payable to: American Wheelchair Mission.
•  Contact Grand Knight Gregg Cruz at 650-278-2735. He will handle mailing of donations.

Wheelchairs allow children to return to school, adults to go to work, and elderly individuals—who have sometimes been bedridden for 10–20 years or more—to enjoy dinner with their families again and regain their independence.

 Recently, they distributed 800 wheelchairs in the Philippines across the Dioceses of Pasig, Kalookan, Pampanga, Balanga (Bataan), Tarlac, Baguio, and Lingayen-Dagupan. Representatives Glenn Ramos, Rochie Ramos Guintu, and Dennis Guintu (on behalf of  Fr. Ray, St. Augustine, and Council #9714) joined the distributions at Bahay Aruga, San Juan De Dios Hospital, and Tahanan ng Mabuting Pastol in Pasig, Manila.

The Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity are in need of male volunteers at their small hospice facility in Pacifica called Gift of Love. No special qualifications are required, only the desire to help the poor and to accompany them in the last moments of their lives. Many volunteers have said this to be a beautiful and life changing experience. 

If interested, please call the Sisters at (650) 355-3091.

May God bless you for your willingness to serve.

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.  

Come and join SAC's virtual Bible Study every Tuesday from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.  Deacon Virgil and the SAC Clergy lead the study.

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

Volunteers are crucial to St. Vincent De Paul's  work to feed, clothe, house and help people in need. 

Serve a meal, sort and/or deliver donations-volunteers are always needed in order to accomplish more. 

See the Face of Christ.

Be the Face of Christ.

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!
