Fifth Sunday of Easter (c)
May 18, 2025

"I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: Love one another..."
The Fifth Sunday of Easter, Year C, focuses on Jesus' new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you." This love is not just a feeling but a way of life, a sacrifice for others, and a source of recognition of his disciples. We are called to love with agape, the selfless love of God, and to demonstrate this love through our actions.
Let's consider how we express love in our daily life and how we can grow in our ability to love others, especially those who are difficult to love. Let us look at God, the origin of all love: He lets his own Son become one of us and who astonishes us by his love for sinners and for those who suffer.
As we reflect on Jesus' selfless love, his willingness to die for others, and his call to love as he has loved, let's also look for ways to serve others.

CROWNING OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Crowning of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Last Saturday, May 10, 2025
We held the Crowning of the Blessed Virgin during the Holy Mass last Saturday, May 10. We honored our Blessed Mother by crowning her with a wreath of flowers, recognizing her as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God. The crowning ceremony symbolizes our love for her. It is the central part of the Flores de Mayo celebration, a month-long devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
The mass was followed by the “live” recitation of the rosary led by the Faith Formation Program. Decked in costumes, CCD students re-enacted the mysteries of the rosary. We ended the celebration with the procession of the Blessed Sacrament and the statue of the Blessed Mother.
We thank the Legion of Mary for the reception that they offered for the celebration. Join us as we continue with the daily devotion of prayers, rosary, and offering of flowers to our Blessed Mother at 8:30 am through the end of Flores de Mayo on May 31.

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!

Thanks to Deacon Virgil and the Liturgical Arts for making this sacred space for spiritual healing and reconciliation.

ALPHA SERIES Evangelization
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 6:30pm
There is always a seat for you at the table at SAC’s Alpha Talk Series. Last Tuesday, participants broke out again into 3 tables and into separate rooms. We discussed forgiving, guilt, being forgiven, and the unlimited ocean of the forgiveness of God after watching a video on: Why did Jesus die? Why is there no need for guilt? What is the true nature of Love?
For many, the best part is the intimate and safe environment at the breakout session, to be oneself and personal as we respond to basic yet profound questions of our faith.
Catch the next Alpha Session #4 on Tuesday, May 20th, at the Parish Hall. It starts with supper at 6:30 and ends at 8:30. To help us plan better for the food, please let the parish office know that you are joining, 650.873.2282

Date: Friday, May 23, 2025
🕖
Time: 7:00 PM
📍
Location: Saint Augustine Church


Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, 69 years old, the prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, was elected the 267th pope on May 8, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. He is the first Augustinian to be named the Supreme Pontiff. Born in Chicago, He is the first American pope in history.
We give thanks for his ministry, leadership, and faithful service to the Church. Welcome, Pope Leo XIV! "Together we must try to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges and always dialogues, that is always open to receiving everyone like this square with its arms open to everyone, everyone in need."
Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
Ever-loving God,
We thank You for guiding the Church and for the gift of our new Holy Father.
With humility and trust, we lift him up to You in prayer.
Fill his heart with the fire of the Holy Spirit,
That he may lead Your people with truth, love, and mercy.
Strengthen him in times of trial,
And surround him with faithful servants and wise counsel.
May he be a shepherd after Your own heart—
Guiding Your Church in unity,
Upholding the dignity of every person,
And bearing joyful witness to the Gospel in a world in need.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Mass of the Lord's Supper
April 17, Maundy Thursday
Why does a priest kiss the feet after washing them? Father Ray offered, “When the priest washes the feet of his parishioners, the priest actually begs forgiveness from the people whom the church and her ministers have hurt and offended." The highest person is someone who serves others. Pope Francis puts it best: the washing of the feet of the disciples by Jesus means "I am at your service.” Our Lord gave us an example and said, “If I therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.”
At the mass, Father Ray washed and kissed the feet of the OCIA Elects. The Mass of the Lord’s Supper was followed by the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Parishioners, SAC ministries, visitors from other parishes, and the Knights of Columbus took turns to watch and stayed with Jesus in adoration until 12 midnight.
Photos/Clips of Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday will be forthcoming...

Good Friday
Last April 18, 2025
Good Friday is the most solemn holy day commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. St. Augustine’s services were packed with remembrance of Jesus’ final days. We had the Stations of the Cross at noon. We then reflected on the Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ through the testimonies of life’s serious challenges that turned into personal stories of light, hope, and victory by parishioners Rana Lotti, Deacon Nestor L. Fernandez II, Wilma Orozco, Joaquin Galvan, Marijoy Angeles, Emily Junio, and Sharly Guterres.
We then celebrated the Lord’s Passion, a special liturgy commemorating his suffering and death on the cross, and meditation through the Veneration of the Cross.

Easter Vigil
Last April 19, 2025

Easter Vigil, a climactic liturgy in the Catholic faith, was a time of profound joy and hope at St. Augustine! We celebrated Christ’s Resurrection, a moment of triumph over death to eternal life. The Vigil reflected God’s transformative power of His love and mercy. The church literally transitioned from darkness to light with the lighting of the Paschal Candle. The highlight is 29 adults completing the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA), the highest number at SAC receiving full communion of the Catholic Church. Eleven of the 29 adults received the Sacrament of Baptism! Alleluia!
Easter Sunday
Last April 20, 2025
Where do you hear angelic voices of about 50 children at 5 in the morning? ---Only at St. Augustine during Salubong! Salubong is the traditional Filipino Easter Sunday devotion reenacting the meeting of the risen Jesus with his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Father Ray, at his Easter Sunday homily, reminded us that we need to imitate Christ in His death and be buried with Him in baptism. It means a complete abandonment of our old self that stops us from becoming the person God wants us to be. This is the ongoing message of Easter.
The courtyard was filled with children, fully enjoying Easter Sunday all morning long. Thank you to the Parents of the St. Augustine Children’s Choir (SACC) who hosted breakfast for everyone! The SACC had an early morning Easter Egg hunt. The Faith Formation Program had an ample supply of Easter Eggs and stickers to give away and a photo station with the Easter Bunny! The Ecology Team greeted the children with free Pollinator Flower Plants! The Knights of Columbus had a Cotton Candy stand, which was a hit with both children and adults!
