We invite you to join us in this wonderful cultural experience—simply contact the school office if you are interested in attending.
We are now two weeks away from the Saint Mary Cathedral Gala. We are planning a wonderful evening for you to enjoy and celebrate the school’s sesquicentennial. We are blessed with the distinction of being the oldest school in the diocese. This blessing is possible because of the many generations of generous parishioners. I pray you will be able to join us on Saturday, May 13, at the JW Marriott. We will provide a free shuttle service to/from the Cathedral/JW Marriott that evening. The Gala will be our closing celebration for the 150th year of the school. Both Bishop Joe Vásquez and Bishop Daniel Garcia will be present. Please join our bishops, clergy, and fellow parishioners who value and support Catholic education for this evening of celebration!

“Led by the Spirit for Mission,” is the title of the message that Pope Francis offers for this 54th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. In it he says that “commitment to mission is not something added on to the Christian life as a kind of decoration, but is instead an essential element of faith itself. A relationship with the Lord,” he adds, “entails being sent out into the world as prophets of his word and witnesses of his love.”
2017 Día Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones: " Llevado por el Espír itu para la misión", es el título del mensaje que el papa San Francisco ofrece para esta 54ª Jornada Mundial de Oración por las vocaciones. En él se dice que "el compromiso por la misión no es algo añadido a la vida cristiana como una especie de adorno, sino que es un elemento esencial de la fe misma. Una relación con el Señor," añade, "implica ser enviado al mundo como profetas de su palabra y en testigos de su amor".
May 7—World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Prayer for Vocations God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons. Send your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to your call. May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Dios, nuestro Padre, te damos gracias por llamar a hombres y mujeres para servir en el Reino del Hijo como sacerdotes, diáconos y personas consagradas. Envía tu Espíritu Santo para ayudar a otros a responder con generosidad y valentía a su llamada. Nuestra comunidad de fe puede apoyar las vocaciones de amor sacrificial en nuestros jóvenes y adultos. Por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Pray every day for peace. Let’s remember to heed the message of Our Lady of Fatima to pray the Rosary every day
for peace. 2017 is the 100-year anniver-sary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima so let’s pray the Rosary both individually and especially together; for as Jesus said, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matt 18:20) Rezar el rosario por la paz. Recorde-mos que escuche el mensaje de Nuestra Señora de Fátima para rezar el rosario todos los días por la paz. 2017 es el 100 aniversario de las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, así que vamos a rezar el Rosario tanto individual y, sobre todo, juntos, como Jesús dijo: "Porque donde están dos o tres reunidos en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos." (Mateo 18:20)
