Una nota del Párroco

Dear friends, Next Sunday is our annual Parish Festival! Come from 10 AM to 4 PM to enjoy great music, food, many booths, kid’s cake deco-rating contest, school children’s “gifts from the heart,” the big cash drawing, and of course … each other. Selena Wilson & Co. can be counted on to make this the usual wonderful day. We have a very special parish. Come and help us celebrate. Speaking of things to celebrate …. Did you know a son of our parish is now in St. Pat-rick’s Seminary? Something Fr. Ron said at Mass three years ago made German Rod-riguez, the oldest of four, began considering priesthood. I called to ask him how he’s doing, and if he’s lonely. “Oh no, I haven’t been lonely at all,” he replied. “I feel God here, at Mass, in the daily prayers. I’m very happy!” And I couldn’t be happier. This parish has had no vocations to religious life or the priesthood for decades. I consider German at the seminary a very great blessing. And … next year another young man will go there from here, and two years later still an-other. Wow! I hope you will all pray for German. If you want to send him a card of support, he is at: St. Patrick’s Seminary, 320 Middlefield Rd., Menlo Park CA 94025. Peace and All Good!

Queridos amigos: ¡El próximo domingo es el festival anual de nuestra parroquia! Vengan entre las 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. a disfrutar de buena música, comida, muchos pues-tos, concurso de decoración de pasteles hechos por niños, los niños de la escuela ten-drán "regalos del corazón", rifa de una gran cantidad de dinero, y por supuesto ... nosotros. Podemos contar con Selena Wilson & Co. para que este día sea una costum-bre maravillosa. Tenemos una parroquia muy especial. Vengan y ayúdenos a celebrar. Hablando de cosas de que celebrar .... ¿Sabían que un hijo de nuestra parroquia se en-cuentra ahora en el Seminario de St. Patrick? Algo que el Padre Ron dijo en la misa hace tres años hizo que German Rodríguez, el mayor de cuatro, que comenzara a con-siderar el sacerdocio. Llamé para preguntarle cómo estaba, y si se sentía solo. “Ay, no, no he estado solo en absoluto ", respondió. "Siento que Dios esta aquí, en misa, en las oraciones diarias. Estoy muy feliz! " Y yo no podría estar más feliz. Esta parroquia no ha tenido vocaciones a la vida re-ligiosa o el sacerdocio durante décadas. Considero a German en el seminario una ben-dición muy grande. Y ... el próximo año otro joven pasará de aquí a allá, y dos años después otro más. ¡Caray! Espero que todos oren por German. Si desea enviar una carta de apoyo, el se encuentra en: St. Patrick’s Seminary, 320 Middlefield Rd.., Menlo Park CA 94025. ¡Paz y Todo Bien!

STEWARDSHIP REPORT

Time and Talent …. The dishonest manager in today’s parable knew how to manipu-late money to his own advantage. But the Gospel warns that no one can serve both God and money. Which do I serve? Is my stewardship such that anyone can tell?
