We continue to ask each week that parishioners pray for the chronically ill of our parish. If you have a friend or loved one in need of our parish prayers please call the Rectory at 589-2800.

Also, please remember our Emergency prayer network that prays for specific intentions that require a concerted effort due to their critical nature. To facilitate the network, please call Michele Pipinich. The network people then pray frequently for the next 72 hours. We would appreciate a return call with the outcome so we can praise God for His faithfulness.

This week we pray for
Christopher Soto and Joan Marshall

Thank You and A Request
Thank you to all of you who donated towards our lovely Christmas environment! The evergreens and poinsettias historically remind us of God’s ever-lasting love for us and of Jesus’ love leading him to the shedding of his blood. The beauty of this church gives us hope as we continue to live the gospel of compassion and forgiveness. Six of us are going to Gulfport/Biloxi Dec. 28 until Jan. 4 to help the survivors of Katrina in whatever ways we can. Deacon John Meyer, Ana Gamino, Petra Kretschmer and I are going from here with two other friends of mine, Joan Sexton from Pacifica and Carolyn Pretzer from Sacramento. Please pray for us that we can enflesh in our labor (whatever it may be) the care and concern you’ve shown with your gift cards. We’ll have photos and stories to share when we return! Thank you. S. Sheral
