Come spend an hour with
Our Lord

A great way for SAC Confirmation Students to earn 2-Stewardship Hours per month is to attend Holy Hour on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month.

FAITH FORMATION CLASSES take turns with hosting the Traveling Vocation Cross for one week from Sunday to Saturday. The class  receives the TVC at the 9AM Sunday Mass on their assigned Sunday and prays together nightly on Zoom (for the priesthood, consecrated life, married life, single life and their own family-intentions.) The TVC is passed on to the next class or family on the following 9AM Sunday Mass.

CONFIRMATION STUDENTS 
Students earn  5-Stewardship Hours when their family hosts the TVC  for 1 week.

To host the TVC, please contact Elsa Rozal (650) 922-9618  entroz09@yahoo.com

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.

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.

Last weekend, 39 of our second-year confirmation students stepped away from the noise of daily life for a powerful spiritual journey at Camp Jones Gulch. From the moment they departed on Friday afternoon, the youth embarked on an activity-filled weekend centered around the theme, "Search My Heart."   
     
Through prayer, reflection, and community building, these young men and women opened their hearts to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Another meaningful theme of the retreat was the call to love and appreciate our parents/guardians while we have the gift of time with them. Students reflected on how parents, whether by birth or by choice, are placed in our lives by God to be our first teachers of unconditional love. By looking at the sacrifices and guidance of their parents, our candidates were able to see a living reflection of God’s own heart and His role as our Divine Protector. The experience culminated in a beautiful closing ceremony on Sunday, attended by their families and sponsors, before they were officially welcomed back home to St. Augustine. 
       

We extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated youth leaders, chaperones, staff, and parents who made this weekend possible. Please continue to pray for our candidates as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at St. Mary’s Cathedral on April 25th. May they continue to seek God’s presence in their hearts every step of the way.
