Archbishop’s Annual Appeal (AAA): Last week-end we launched the month-long campaign for AAA. I preached at all the Masses and invited everyone to participate in this noble and necessary project of rais-ing $46,900. We assist the Archbishop as he carries out his mission and ministries in the Archdiocese spread over three counties. Parishioners, faith for-mation families, school families, visitors, various or-ganizations within our parish! I invite all of you---each one of you---to participate in this appeal and do-nate so that we can complete it within a month. I will be placing the donors’ names in the bulletin as a way of thanking you for your generosity. Lenten Mini-Retreat: Saturday March 03, 2012. This is something new. It’s planned to make it as easy and convenient as possible for many parishioners and school/faith formation families to participate as part of our Lenten holy practices. It will start with the 8:30 a.m. Mass celebrated by Father Bernie Bush, S.J., a well-known and popular retreat preacher from El Re-tiro, Los Altos. After coffee and donuts, Fr. Bush will give the first session around 9:30. After a break, there will be a second session. Retreat will close with lunch around 12:30 p.m. The cost: FREE. Come one, come all! Word of God: This Sunday’s gospel gives us the healing story of the paralytic who is lowered down through the roof! An interesting way to bring this poor man in contact with Jesus! Isn’t it true that we all need others to bring us to Jesus because for some reason or another we are unable to get to him on our own. We need others to walk with us and share our thoughts and anxieties, our faith and wisdom. We have to hang together or we’ll hang separately! Think about it: Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord ," and there are those who wake up in the morn-ing and say, "Good Lord, it's morning." Your Friend and Pastor,

Father Charles Puthota

Dear Parishioners, Confirmation: Our 70 candidates along with four others from neighboring parishes were confirmed by Bishop Robert McElroy last Sunday at a prayerful and joyful celebration of the Eucharist. In my thank-you speech at the end, as usual, I invited those con-firmed to not only practice the faith but also share it in a way the community can see and be inspired by. When these young men and women spend time and energy on academics, sports, entertainment, etc., some attention needs to be given to faith, which in the Catholic Church we practice in private as well as in a very public way, by joining together in prayer and deeds of service. This has been our tradition for over 2000 years. Parents, teachers, parishioners, clergy, and others need to work together to encour-age these young men and women to grow in the life of the Spirit. I would like to thank Karen Guglielmoni, our Faith Formation Coordinator; the dedicated catechists: David & Maria Collins, Liz Hornick & Vicki Dimi-troff, Mary & Melissa Martin, Pat Murray, Pamela Silva & Sara Theisen, Sandi Zicke & Pamela Lucero, Christine & Patrick Lucy, and the youth retreat team led by Patrick Lucy. They have done a fabulous job again. Kudos to them! Lent: This Wednesday--- Ash Wednesday--- we start the season of holiness and wholeness. Ashes will be placed on our foreheads with the words: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Powerful and hard words, indeed! And yet, it’s the truth about our lives. The reminder of our mortality can help us live more deeply and lovingly. One thing that can happen in Lent for us is that we may gain a perspective on life and see a bit more clearly what matters and what does not---in the long run. Let’s do something extra in Lent. Maybe, join the daily Mass, if possible. Attend the weekend Mass regularly. Give to those in need. Join us for the Stations of the Cross. Spend some time daily in prayer. Explore how we can become better human beings and better Christians.
