On Wednesday, October
4th, we celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is the
patron saint of the Archdiocese of San Francisco as well as the patron saint of
the environment and all animals. There will be a Blessing of the Animals
at 8:00 AM in the school yard. All are invited to bring their pets
on a leash or otherwise under control for a blessing.
October is Respect
Life Month. It is a time when we are asked to reflect more deeply on how
to uphold the dignity of every human life from conception to natural death.
St. Joseph is the defender of life. We ask for his intercession during
this month.
There is a new formation program in
our Archdiocese for parishioners who are seeking to integrate their Catholic
faith into every aspect of their lives. It is called The Lay Mission
Project. Printed materials are available in the church that give
further information. You may also read about it at
