Here's an outstanding program to teach Relationship Skills to couples: ADVENTURES IN MARRIAGE.  This is nationally known, research-based skills-building program, that can benefit a couple whether married 3 months or 30+years.  We know every important vocation requires ongoing training and formation, yet Catholics for some reason don't usually offer that for married couples - the most important vocation for all!  We need to change that. 

We encourage couples to invest in their marriage today by attending ADVENTURES IN MARRIAGE to be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 8:30am-4:30pm at St. Mark's Church in Belmont.  Please check/forward the FLYER below.

HOPE & HEALING

(A Jubilee of Hope Workshop)

Dealing with Grief and Caring for the Bereaved

Sunday, April 27, 2025, 2:00-4:00pm

Grief comes to everyone as a natural response to loss.  It can manifest in various ways, including sadness, anger, confusion and even numbness.  Reflecting on our feelings and experiences can help us understand our own grief journey and identity as well as the support we need.

Come and attend a FREE workshop, "Hope and Healing" on Sunday, April 27, from 2pm-4pm.  We have invited two great resource speakers, Dr. Gross and Dr. Agoncillo, to enlighten us on how we can acknowledge diverse grief experiences, reframe grief as an invisible injury and develop strategies for Support and Healing.

Castletown Media, in association with Catholic filmmaker Jim Wahlberg, made the announcement on Feb. 12.   Castletown Media is producing the film and Fathom Events will distribute it. 

“Roadmap to Reality” explores the life of Acutis and the lessons he offers young people regarding the challenges of the digital world.

SAC Knights of Columbus 9714  

and Young Adults Ministry 

Three members of the Knights of Columbus  Council 9714 (Joe Torres, Sanjay Malepadu, Brian Marston)  and Angelica Tubig (from the Young Adults Ministry "YAM") helped prepare and serve dinner last Sunday to the homeless at the Missionary Sisters of Charity at 3255 Folsom St. San Francisco. More than 120 homeless men and women were served and there was plenty for seconds. It was a fulfilling day for the volunteers to share time with the poor and homeless brothers and sisters, especially during this Lenten season.

Are you thinking of becoming a Knight or joining the Young Adult Ministry?

Blessed Michael J. McGivney Honored the 143rd Year Founding of the Knights of Columbus (KOC)

Blessed McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, was celebrated at St. Augustine on Founder’s Day, commemorating the 143rd Anniversary of its founding. 

Blessed McGivney has inspired the KOC with now more than 2 million Brother Knights around the world. They are Catholic lay men who have become faith-field leaders in their families and the community. 

At St. Augustine, it was an important recognition of its founder. A large presence of the St Augustine KOC Council #9714 and representatives of the KOC California State Council were present. In addition, Deacon Leandro Paulo Calingasan,  the Archdiocese of San Francisco, who is also the Grand Knight of St. Patrick's Council #16688, along with fellow Knights, Seminarian Matthew Grehm of the Diocese of Sacramento, Seminarian Lloyd Rebuldela of the Diocese of Fresno, Seminarian Hyeong-Joon “Andrew” Choi of the Diocese of Suwon assisted in the Mass.

Father Ray Reyes presided over the 4:30 pm Laetare (Rejoice) Anticipated 4th Sunday Mass of Lent, on March 29 to honor Blessed Michael J. McGivney. The pink rose-colored Sunday was also a time of joy in the otherwise austere mid-period of Lent, to express enthusiasm this coming Easter when we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

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!

SAC'S 55th ANNIVERSARY GALA

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.  Please note of our newly refurbished Confessional, which 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.
