Pastor's Update


Fr. Arnold Zamora

October 18, 2024

Things you may want to know this week.

1.

It's World Mission Sunday! This special day unites Catholics and other Christians worldwide in prayer, solidarity, and support for the Church's missionary efforts. Your generosity this weekend, combined with what is offered in churches and chapels around the globe, unites us to the universal efforts of missionaries who proclaim the Gospel and serve the poor.

2.

We will have Children's Liturgy at the 9:30am Mass. Children ages 3 - 7 are invited to join Vanessa and Daniela in the Little Church, located on the left side of the vestibule, after the Collect (Opening Prayer) of the Mass.

3.

The Parish Parish Council (PPC) will be hosting hospitality after the 9:30am Mass. Stop by and get some coffee or juice, donuts, and fruits, and interact with fellow parishioners and friends.

4.

October is Cultural Diversity Month and Filipino Cultural Heritage Month, among other things. As part of our church's effort to highlight the Catholic faith in other cultures, we will have a Filipino Liturgical Music Mass at 11:30am this Sunday. "Come and experience the music of the Holy Mass in another language.

5.

Thank you to Pat and Una Uniacke for installing a handrail at the steps leading to our St. Joseph's Woods behind the church. People, especially our elderly parishioners, can now more easily and safely climb up to get closer to our St. Joseph's shrine.

6.

The InBetweeners will be having their annual Halloween dinner next Friday, October 25, at 6:30pm. Of course, it will be at the "Haunted Hauls" of St Robert's (Hennessy Hall). Costumes are optional, but there will be three prizes for Best Costume: Best Couple, Best Woman, and Best Man's costumes. The cost will be $15 per person. Join the fun and have an enjoyable evening!

Fr. Arnold

FAZnotes


Fr. Arnold Zamora

(Father Arnold Zamora)

October 18, 2024

Dear St. Robert’s parishioners and friends,

If THINGS are meant to be, then they will happen
at the Right TIME, in the Right PLACE,
and in the Right SITUATION.

It is not DESTINY.
It is called GOD's Will!

When we put our problems in GOD's Hands,

He puts His Peace in Our Hearts.

We need strength while doing the possible, but we need faith in doing the impossible.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Fr. Arnold
