Pastor's Update


Fr. Arnold Zamora

October 25, 2024

Things you may want to know this week.

1.

Strengthen and nurture your marriage and family life by attending the 8th annual Together in Holiness marriage conference tomorrow from 10:45 m - 6:00pm at St. Pius Church in Redwood City. This conference is presented by the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the St. John Paul II Foundation

2.

We will have Children's Liturgy at the 9:30am. Mass. Children ages 3 - 7 are invited to gather at the Little Church, located on the left side of the vestibule, after the Collect (Opening Prayer) of the Mass. The group is growing, and we are looking on how we can improve that little space that we have.

3.

Our St. Robert's School will hold a Halloween parade next Thursday at 8:15am in the Middle Yard. Parking might be tight, so please plan accordingly, especially if you are attending the morning mass

4.

Next Friday, November 1, is All Saints Day, a Holy Day of Obligation. We have two masses that day, 8:15am and 7:00pm. At the 8:15am mass, our Fifth Graders will dress up as saints of their choice, and they will process to the altar prior to the mass. Coinciding with the first Friday of the month, we will also have our monthly Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus after the Mass, followed by an hour of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament that ends with a Benediction.

5.

We upgraded our parish office phone system once again with better and cheaper VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phones. That means no more long-distance fees, and we can easily connect with each other with just a touch of a button.

Fr. Arnold

FAZnotes


Fr. Arnold Zamora

(Father Arnold Zamora)

October 25, 2024

Dear St. Robert’s parishioners and friends,

Don't carry your mistakes around with you...

Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones.

Never regret:

If it's good, it's wonderful.

If it's bad, it's experience.

Often when we lose all hope and think this is the end,
remember God and pray, it's just a bend, not the end.' -

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Fr. Arnold
