1. Another busy Sunday weekend this 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time!
- a. We will have Children’s Liturgy at the 9:30 a.m. Mass. Children ages 3 – 7 are invited to join in the Little Church after the Collect (Opening Prayer) of the Mass.
- b. It’s the Faith and Blue Weekend. The San Bruno Police Department will host our Hospitality after the 11:30 a.m. Mass as they engage and interact with our community.
- c. We will have the Brown Scapular Enrollment at the 5 p.m. Mass. By receiving the brown scapular, you will now belong to the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular and will participate in all the spiritual benefits of the Order of Mount Carmel obtained through the mercy of Jesus Christ. It is an outward sign of an interior devotion worn in complete simplicity.
A rosary procession to the St. Joseph Grotto will immediately follow from the front of the church. - d. Give GP a break! Well, that means I will be the choir and choirmaster at all the Masses that I will not be celebrating.
2. About last Sunday.
- a. The Living Rosary was a beautiful expression of a community praying together! It was quite moving to see the young and the old, even the elderly who are physically challenged, praying the beads in several languages. We thank the Legion of Mary for this initiative, especially Jun Abellana and Ricky Inting.
- b. Thank you to those who responded to the Archdiocesan Annual Campaign last weekend. Our “giving thermometer” has gone up. We received several pledges and enrollments to the 1% Club, including a $1,000 cash donation, which was secretly dropped in our mailbox. Thank you very much to our anonymous donor for silently hoping for the success of this year’s campaign!
3. The Archdiocesan Filipino Ministry will hold the 12th Annual Gala/Dinner at the Patron Hall of our St. Mary’s Cathedral this Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Our priest band called “Levites” will play again in this event.
4. In observance of the Indigenous People Day, the parish office and school will be closed this Monday, October 14, 2024.
5. All the Ministry Leaders and/or their representatives are invited to a meeting this Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 7 p.m. in the church.
