Also each Friday, from 4:30pm, there's an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession.  Our  refurbished Confessional, provides the traditional screen that separates the priest confessor from the penitent as well as the option for a face to face confession.

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.

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.

Please also remember to take all trash with you and dispose of it properly when leaving the Church (e.g., paper, tissues, napkins, and water bottles).

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, reverence and safety of our parish for everyone.

Thank you and may God bless you all for your cooperation!
