Join us for prayer on Monday evening as we commemorate the death of St. Francis in a beautiful Transitus Service, a long-standing Franciscan tradition. The service is a simple retelling of the final hours of St. Francis, accompanied by music and reflective silence. We love to share this sacred moment with all those who are drawn to the life and spirit of St. Francis.
If you see Fr. Jeremy this Friday, wish him a happy birthday. How about coming that day to the noon mass and helping me sing "Happy Birthday" to him? We are truly blessed to have him on the parish staff. He is an example and inspiration to all of us.
Our opening session of ChristLife took place last Tuesday; we had a strong response to the second season, with thirty people signing up. Thanks to the Discipleship Commission for organizing the program. The same commission also brought us another Time and Talent weekend. It is not too late to turn in your form if you haven't completed it yet. All knew volunteers will be contacted as soon as we have collated the forms.
Thanks to all who have signed up for our week of hosting the South Oakland Shelter. There may be some further openings when the sign-up sheets come back from Queen of Martryrs parish.
