Celebrating the Feast Day of

Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Triduum & Feast Day

September 2-4 Triduum 

TRIDUUM: This Wednesday, September 2-4 

(Three Days of Prayer)

FEASTDAY: September 5    

Come and join the celebration of one of the spiritual giants of the 20th Century, St. Mother Teresa. In her honor, SAC will observe TRIDUUM (Three Days) of prayer from September 2-4 before the 9:00am Mass and her Feastday with a Solemn Mass on Saturday, September 5th at 9:00am.  Some Missionary Sisters of Charity will be attending the celebrations.  

Following this Mass is the opportunity to venerate the First Class Relic of Mother Teresa.  There'll also be a reception after the services.

FREE MOVIE NIGHT 

On the evening of the saint's feastday, Saturday, September 5th, at 6:30pm, there'll be a free MOVIE NIGHT in the Parish Hall on her life, "Mother Teresa: No Other Love."  Please invite family and friends to see how Mother Teresa's humble vision to serve Christ in the POOR has left a huge impact in the lives of many peoples, Christians and non-Christians alike.  

Don't Miss It! Filmed in 5 continents, the film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poorest of the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary film. It’s a soaring tribute to a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity.

There will be refreshments, snacks, and light dinner for sale.

Today's Catholic Parents express some misconceptions about the priesthood as a vocation for their son. We'll hear them say, "He's too young... He'll be lonely... I won't have grandchildren... He'll be unhappy... I'll lose my son...."

The ideal Catholic parent understands a simple truth: that God desires the child's happiness even more than any parent does. If one's son experiences a genuine call or interest to becoming a priest someday, trust in God's love for him.

Below is the link to the Resources of Parents that answers to common misconceptions about the priesthood.

PRAY for the perseverance of our seminarians, especially those who are from the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Keeping Our Parish Clean: 

A Call to Action from our EC

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.

Thank you all for your cooperation!
