HOSPITALITY SUNDAY

After the 9:00am Mass

 

Come and join fellow parishioners and meet new friends during the Hospitality (Coffee and Donuts) after the 9:00AM Mass this Sunday. 

     

We thank SAC Altar Servers for serving the hospitality last Sunday. This weekend's hosts are the members of the SAC Santo Nino Group.


 Every November, Catholics remember and commemorate all the faithful departed. November is always set aside by the Church not only to recall all who have passed on before us in faith but also to intercede for those still in need of our help. The Catholic Church believes that those who die in a state of sin must undergo a process of purification before entering into the fullness of heaven.
 
By praying for the deceased, especially through the Holy Mass, the graces of our intercession help usher souls along their journey to the heavenly homeland. Offering a mass imparts valuable graces but also unites us "not only with the members here on earth but also with those already in the glory of heave." (CCC 1370).
   
Let us remember our deceased loved ones in a special way this whole month of November. All Souls Day Remembrance Envelopes are found near the altar. You may write the names of your deceased loved ones on the envelope and put the envelope in the box with your donation. Completed envelopes will be placed and prayed for on the "Altar of Remembrance" in all the masses in November.


"We have loved them during life; let us not abandon them in death, until we have conducted them by our prayers into the house of the Lord.” - St. Ambrose


HYGIENE KITS COLLECTION DRIVE

FOR THE HOMELESS

Supporting Catholic Charities


SAC Confirmation students and parents volunteered to sort and pack hygiene kits for the homeless this past Sunday. At the end of the activity, students shared highlights of their experiences on how their service brought them closer to GOD. 


We are grateful to all the parishioners of Saint Augustine for supporting the Hygiene & Snack Kit Collection Drive. Your donation not only helps the homeless but it also provides volunteer opportunities for our youth. Monetary donations of any amount towards purchasing hygiene kits and snacks are greatly appreciated. 

 

We also want to thank Grand Knight Alex Trinidad and members of Knights of Columbus Council 9714 for their valuable work in getting our parishioners involved in this charitable works. 

 

For questions, please contact Rita Liu at 650.307.8296. Thank you

Father Ed's Retirement and Birthday Celebrations

October 18, 2024

Crowne Plaza, Foster City



Father Ed was honored by SAC parishioners on two momentous occasions: a joint retirement and birthday celebration on October 18, followed by a Thanksgiving Mass and parish reception on October 20. 

   

The October 18 celebration, organized by a dedicated planning committee led by Deacon Nestor Fernandez, Buddy, and Myla Braganza, left no detail overlooked in commemorating Fr. Ed’s 73rd birthday and retirement. Held at the prestigious Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City, the evening was a joyous tribute filled with heartfelt acknowledgments from various sectors, including the Filipino Ministry of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, along with representatives from the City and County of San Francisco, South San Francisco, Daly City, and neighboring cities. In recognition of his legacy, October 18 was officially declared "Father Ed’s Day" in both San Francisco and South San Francisco—a fitting tribute to his extraordinary 47 years of faith and service.

 

The celebration featured exceptional performances by various St. Augustine Parish ministries, including the Praise and Glorify Choir, the Hospitality Ministry, and the Legion of Mary. Over 40 priests and 470 guests filled the banquet hall, all gathered to honor Father Ed. Deacon Nestor Fernandez and Christine Adiaz emceed the program seamlessly, and a lively performance by "The Levites" (a band of six parish pastors) energized the crowd, keeping the dance floor alive with their vibrant music. The event was a heartfelt testament to Father Ed’s enduring impact on our community.

 

Throughout the evening, Father Ed was celebrated for the many lives he has touched as a spiritual advisor, mentor, confessor, and advocate. His courageous voice for those who could not speak for themselves, evident during his tenure as the pastor of St. Patrick Church where he continued the work of his predecessor, the late Monsignor Bitanga, and attended to the special needs of veterans within his congregation. At St. Augustine parish, he continues to be a beacon of friendship, support, unity and compassion. We are deeply grateful to Father Ed for choosing to remain with SAC after his retirement, continuing to bless and serve our parish community with his presence and guidance.
