SAC Clergy Updates
Thank You so much again for your continued prayers and thoughts. Following my discharge last Tuesday, my daily treatment and training of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) started at a clinic in Colma. I hope to do PD independently in my room after a week or two. Indeed, I have been blessed with a great support as I transition to this new chapter in my life. THANK YOU.
Let us also thank Father Raul Delos Santos, who is headed back to Pampanga (Philippines) on Sunday, after his 9:00am Mass. Fr. Raul has been a great help during this time since his coming to SAC last Holy Week. His reflective homilies and sweet smiles will definitely be missed here at SAC.
While Father Ed Dura is on his break in the Philippines, we anticipate the return of Father Ed Ramin of the Diocese of Legaspi (Albay, Philippines). Fr. Ramin will be spending his summer at SAC.
It will be a busy summer at SAC as we anticipate the celebration of our 55th foundation anniversary. We have invited Archbishop Cordileone and other priests, mostly Augustinians, to lead the Novena Masses from August 19-28. Father Eric Velandria, SJ will be with us in August as well.
I am gratefiul to SAC's Clergy, Staff and the members of the Parish Pastoral Council and the Committee on the SAC's 55th Gala for spearheading our anniversary celebrations.
- Fr. Ray
Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul
June 29, 2025
Saint Simon Peter, the Fishermen and
Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles
The 29th June is the day in which we celebrate the ancient feast of the martyrdom of Saints Peter and Paul, patrons of Rome. The pagan feast that celebrated the mythical founders of the eternal city (Rome) was substituted with the celebration of the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, the two columns of the Universal Church. Saint Peter, the confessor of the Truth and Saint Paul, the Apostle to the gentiles. They were both called to witness to Christ with their death which crowned their apostolic mission.
For Simon Peter, the fisherman, everything started on lake Galilee, the place where the Lord called him. With his deep impression, he uttered the great declaration on the Lord, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Mt16: 16). This profession of faith constituted the solid base for the Church. The ‘rock’ that, even despite denial and weaknesses, has remained stable over the centuries. In his last years, Peter lived in Rome as Head of the Church. In 64 AD he was crucified upside down because he did not consider himself worthy to die like his Lord. Today, St Peter’s Basilica marks the place of his martyrdom and enshrines the saint’s tomb.
God the Father also had a great project for St Paul, the so-called persecutor of the Christians. In fact, this project was revealed by the words of Ananias, “The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the Upright One and hear his own voice speaking, because you are to be his witness before all humanity, testifying to what you have seen and heard.” (Acts 22:14-15) One could say that from that moment onwards Paul, the Apostle to the gentiles, was born. For St Paul, his arrival in Rome meant that he could reach the heart of the “gentiles”. He was martyred at Acque Salvie, where the present-day Basilica of the Tre Fountains is situated.

Raising awareness and helping change the conversation around mental health is a step forward. Saint Augustine Church (SAC) is providing an opportunity and a space to talk openly about mental health to reduce misconceptions and stigma. In this workshop, participants will learn to recognize symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, and Dementia, and when to seek help. When caregivers, friends, and loved ones are better educated on these conditions, they can better support and help someone dealing with mental health issues.

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!

FINAL ALPHA SESSION
Tuesday, July 1, 2025 at 6:30 pm
ALPHA SESSION #9 Update
One of the video segments featured Scott Harrison, the founder of the non-profit organization Charity: Water. In his early twenties, Scott was immersed in New York’s vibrant social scene, living a life defined by wealth, parties, and popularity. Despite outward success, he felt deeply unfulfilled and unhappy. Seeking purpose, he made a bold decision to leave his career behind and volunteer with a humanitarian organization serving the poor. That experience profoundly changed him. He discovered that millions of people in Africa lacked access to clean drinking water—something he had always taken for granted. Moved to action, he founded Charity: Water, an organization dedicated to bringing clean and safe water to developing countries.
During our small group discussions, a common theme emerged: we serve God through the work that we do—whether by joining church ministries, offering financial help to family and others in need, or simply blessing those around us by being sincere and authentic.
In a chaotic world, it’s easy to become distracted by the noise and clutter in our lives. But to develop a meaningful relationship with God, we must intentionally remove the "rubbish"—the distractions, unhealthy habits, and misplaced priorities. By focusing on giving God our time through service, both within the Church and in our communities, we not only draw closer to God but also begin to experience transformation in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.
We invite you to join us for the Final Alpha session next Tuesday, July 1st. We’ll begin with a light dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by a video and inspiring discussions.

ST. AUGUSTINE YOUTH GROUP (SAYG)
Annual Banquet
Last Sunday, June 22, 2025
As the school year comes to a close, we would like to recognize and celebrate the incredible work our youth has accomplished! Through their planning, organization, and dedication, they have led retreats, faith sharings, fundraisers, and events that have brought their peers closer to one another and to God. Their passion and commitment have created a welcoming and faith-filled environment for all.
We awarded every youth who is part of the 1st year and 2nd year Confirmation Team and along with our Summer and Regular Salt Teams this year.
Chris and Leizel Junio were awarded the Annual SAYG Choice given to adults by the Youth for helping them the most this year.
Vivian Ramos was recognized with the Mike Lucy Lifetime Achievement Award for her dedication and impact on SAYG.
We also had in attendance parents, alumni, and chaperones who helped support behind the scenes—offering love, guidance, and encouragement—which has been invaluable to the success of our youth ministry. Together, this community continues to carry on the legacy of SAYG, striving always to serve with His love.
"Habemus Sacerdotem..."
Congratulations Father Leandro . . .
"Habes Curam Animarum!" - "You have the care of souls." These powerful words, spoken by Father Jerome Magat during his homily at Father Leandro Calingasan's First Mass were echoed by Father Ray Reyes as joyfully welcomed our new priest:
"Habemus Sacerdotem!" - "We have a Priest!"
It was truly a blessed and fitting occasion for Saint Augustine Parish to witness Father Leandro celebrate his First Thanksgiving Masss on Pentecost Sunday, the day after his priestly ordination. The Mass of Thanksgiving was concelebrated by priests from the Archdiocese of San Francisco and fellow clergy from across the United States. Father Leandro was joined by over a dozen altar servers as a seminarian at our parish - now united once again as co-workers in the Lord's vineyard.
Father Leandro's ordination is a timely and precious gift to Saint Augustine Parish as it commemorates its 55th anniversary.
The Praise and Glorify Choir and seminarian Kyle Laluces uplifted the celebration with sacred hymns in Tagalog and Latin, enriching the liturgy with cultural and spiritual depth.
In his heartfelt closing remarks, Father Leandro expressed deep gratitude to Father Ray and the entire Saint Augustine community for their unwavering support, hospitality, and welcoming spirit throughout his journey. Although his first assignment as a priest is at Saint Francis of Assisi Parish in Palo Alto, he also lovingly affirmed that Saint Augustine will always be his home parish.
As a gesture of appreciation, Father Leandro gifted a statue to Saint Augustine Church. He concluded the celebration by offering individual blessing to all attendees, a personal and prayerful sendoff from a beloved son of the parish.
