The name "Laetare Sunday" is taken from the Introit at Mass, Laetare Jerusalem which means "Rejoice, O Jerusalem." This Scripture comes from the Prophet Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 66:10-11.
Laetare Sunday marks the halfway point of Lent. All that beautiful prayer, fasting, and almsgiving - we are halfway through keeping our commitments! Or, we need to redouble our efforts.
"Rejoice, O Jerusalem!" because this is a day of joy! We are so close to Easter and Jesus' Resurrection. The day of our resurrection, too!
At the Mass with the Elect (OCIA), the Parable of the Man Born Blind will be read instead. In the story, Jesus gives the man born blind back his sight. Just like that, Jesus can help us to know about our own sin . He can help us to trust him. He can rescue us from our sin . He can cure us from the disease of sin.

15 Days - ITALY and SWITZERLAND May 18 - June 1, 2025
To inquire/reserve, please call Patricia @ (650) 873-2282
We proclaimed our Joint Jubilee Year: St. Augustine’s 55th Anniversary and the Jubilee Year of Hope in December, coinciding with the Opening of the Holy Door by Pope Francis in Rome.
Each month, like in Rome, we journey as Pilgrims of Hope, focusing on monthly themes. In January, we started reciting the Jubilee Prayer daily at Mass. In February, we journeyed with the Sick and the Caregivers. We had the Sacrament of Anointing as we celebrated Mass during the World Day of the Sick. Our priests anointed the sick at the facilities that we serve. This month’s theme is Journeying with Parish Ministers and Volunteers. We are closing March with a very successful Ministry Fair!
In April, we will be journeying with God’s Mercy and Forgiveness. We have our Lenten Communal Penance on Tuesday, April 8th. Our Young Adult Ministry will host Mercy Night on Tuesday, April 22nd. Our Lenten calendar is full to transform us by God's mercy.
Archbishop Cordileone designated the Pilgrimage Sites listed below for the Jubilee Year of Hope. Please scan the QR Code below to visit the Archdiocese of San Francisco's resource page. Thank you.
UPDATES AND CALENDAR OF EVENTS
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

SAC's 55th Anniversary Gala
Saturday, September 27, 2025
South San Francisco Conference Center
Hundreds of parishioners gathered at the SAC Parish Ministry Fair this past weekend, eager to sign up and serve across a variety of ministries. Aligned with our theme, “Journeying with Parish Ministers and Volunteers,” as part of the Jubilee Year of Hope in March, the event saw an overwhelming and enthusiastic response —making it a remarkable success!
A total of 28 ministries participated, each with beautifully decorated tables, with goodies and prizes to welcome parishioners and guests. The fair was a beautiful testament to the love of Christ, as it allowed everyone to connect, share in fellowship, and explore the many opportunities to get involved. It was a wonderful occasion to learn about the diverse ministries, forge deeper connections, and discover the unique talents and backgrounds of volunteers that will continue to enrich our community.
We are thrilled to report over 430 combined sign-ups to volunteer and join various ministries! This strong volunteer turnout reflects the vitality of our parish community, the deep commitment to serve, and our shared sense of purpose and responsibility.
A special thank you goes to Deacon Nestor for leading the Ministry Fair and to the dedicated Planning Committee: Nerissa Broas, Khay and Deo Acosta, Charity Garcia, Noel Panelo, and Rita Liu. The Ministry Fair kicked off with a wine and cheese reception on Saturday evening, which set a festive tone for the entire event. Our heartfelt gratitude also extends to the parish office staff for providing snacks throughout the day, including ice cream on a cone, ever-popular Filipino-style ice cream sandwich – ice cream served between pan de sal, croissants, and to the Sagala candidates for hosting Donut Sunday all morning, as well as to Glenn Ramos for serving over 120 cotton candies for the children. Thanks to Sr Ruth, who took an interest in all the ministry tables.
We appreciate the active participation of Fr. Ray, Fr Ed, Fr Ifeanyi, Deacon Virgil and Deacon Nestor, who were fully engaged and voted for the Best Ministry Table, while taking turns presiding over the Sunday Masses.
