A City on a Mountain
Following upon the teaching of the Beatitudes, Jesus uses the now familiar metaphors of salt and light to describe the life of discipleship. We take salt and light for granted in our society, but these commodities were more precious in ancient cultures. Just as now, salt was used in Jesus’ time for flavoring, as a preservative, and as a healing agent. Similarly, the widespread use
of electricity in the modern world makes us less aware of the value and importance of light in our lives.
Still, our familiarity with this passage from Matthew’s Gospel speaks well to the abiding power of the imagery that Jesus presented. Jesus’ call to be salt for the earth and light for the world powerfully states our mission as Church and as Christians. Our commitment to social justice flows from the exhortation that Jesus gives us in today’s Gospel. Some of the activities that this commitment leads us to are given more concrete expression as the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
When we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, console those who mourn, and so on, we show ourselves to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we do these things with the community of faith, the Church, we are indeed acting as “a city set on a mountain” that cannot be hidden!

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!

FRIDAYS @ SAC
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.

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.
