This Sunday's gospel, we'll hear the Lord's sermon to his disciples telling them to love their enemies and do good to those who hate them. These words are clearly easier said than done. For when it comes right down to it, when someone acts in hate toward you and mistreats you, the last thing you want to do is love them, bless them and pray for them. But Jesus is very clear on the fact that this is what we are called to do
The Lord's admonition constitutes the crux and the challenge of what it means to be a disciple. We must try to "love your enemies, turn the other cheek, give to those who ask, do unto others, lend without expecting repayment, judge not lest you be judged."
Jesus' words challenge us who express our desire to follow him to be more like God. God loves us beyond our expectations, beyond anything we can possibly imagine. In response to God's love, we are to love as God loves, beyond expectations and with a depth beyond imagining.
Kindly visit SAC Jubilee Web Page:
https://www.staugustinessf.org/jubilee-2025 for announcements and updates. For January, will focus efforts on (1) parish registration/updating contact info, (2) subscription to weekly Flocknote. And (3) Parish volunteer sign-up.
We journey during this jubilee month of February with the Sick, the Homebound parishioners and their caregivers.
February 11, feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, is always celebrated as the World day of Prayer for the Sick, an observation introduced by Saint John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses and for their caregivers.
The World Day of Prayer for the Sick, which is celebrated annually on February 11th, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, coincides with St. Augustine’s February Jubilee theme, "Journeying with the Sick"
Father Ed Dura and Father Ifeanyi Uwanbunkeonye, along with the Homebound and Legion of Mary Ministries, visited the sick, celebrated the Mass and administered the Sacrament of the Anointing at Serra Highlands Senior Living (Daly City) and Aegis Assisted Living (South San Francisco).
The sick and the caregivers were invited to the parish celebrations, the Holy Mass the Anointing of the Sick, last Saturday, February 8th, 9:00AM to observe the World Day of Prayer for the Sick.
In his homily, Father Ifeanyi Uwabunkeoneye reflected on the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick as a powerful expression of God’s enduring love especially during times of pain and suffering. He pointed out that it is in these moments that we could truly understand our human need for connection, comfort, and hope.
The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament for those who are seriously ill whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. It is a gift offered by Christ, a tangible sign of expression of His compassion and His desire to be close to us on our sufferings. It is an opportunity to reveal the power of God’s love.
It is estimated that between 7 and 8 million Americans of all ages, or three percent of the general population, experience intellectual disabilities. Nearly 30 million, or one in ten families in the United States, are directly affected by a person with intellectual disabilities at some point in their lifetime.
SAC's KOC Council 9714 supports The Columbian Foundation Supporting People With Intellectual Disabilities, Inc. (the Foundation), which has as its mission to promote and provide financial support to IRS 50 l (c)(3) organizations providing care and activities for people with intellectual disabilities. This often overlooked and marginalized portion of society often has difficulty in communicating and advocating needs. People with intellectual disabilities learn and process information more slowly, and have difficulty with abstract concepts such as money, time and the subtleties of interpersonal interactions. They may also suffer from autism or sensory impairments or be physically disabled.
Let's be part of this invaluable advocacy by supporting the members of SAC's KOC 9714 as they raise awareness and encourage parishioners to help in this weekend's ID Drive.
St. Augustine Faith Formation Program hosted its very first Fun Run. The high energy fundraiser brought the community together on Saturday, February 15, 2025. The event took place in the upper parking lot where the first group to run were students from grades 1 to 3, followed by grades 4 to 6. Last to run were the Confirmation students who were joined by parents and catechists. The students were cheered on by their families and catechists as they ran, walked, and danced to fun, energetic music.
In the courtyard, snacks of chips, crackers, string cheese, oranges, popsicles, water, and juice were waiting for the students and their families at the end of each run. Glenn Ramos even hosted a Cotton Candy stand where children (and adults!) lined up.
Our sincere gratitude and appreciation goes out to all the families, friends, and donors who supported FFP’s Fun Run. As of this writing, the event has raised
$35,000. The original goal was $30,000! Please know that70% of whatever is raised from FUN RUN fundraising will be earmarked for the Parish Hall Renovation Fund.
Likewise, SAC's Clergy and Staff and Sister Ruth express their appreciation to all SAC Catechists and those who have contributed to the success of this year's FUN RUN. We value their support, trust and love for this important ministry that shapes young lives to be like that of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for making the first FUN RUN a huge success!
