"Loving The Mass, Loving Jesus"
Our Parish will offer a four-weekend journey through the
parts of the Mass in September. All are welcome!
The Mass, the Holy Eucharist, is the central part of our Catholic life. Every Sunday we gather as a community around the altar of the Lord to give thanks, to be nourished by His Word and His Body, and to be sent forth as His disciples.
Beginning on the first weekend of September and continuing through the last weekend of the month, our parish will offer a special series of homilies on the parts of the Mass. This will be an opportunity for us to revisit the beauty of the liturgy—deepening our understanding and renewing our love for the most important celebration of our Catholic faith.
Our Pastor, Fr. Mark, and our Parochial Vicar, Fr. Louis, are excited to guide us through this journey. Together we will discover not only what we do at Mass, but why we do it, so that we may participate more fully, consciously, and joyfully in this great mystery of faith.
In addition, each week a short write-up will be included in the parish bulletin to help us prepare for the homily and reflect more deeply on the meaning of the Mass.
Join us each weekend in September as we walk together through the treasure of the Mass!
From the Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
The Diocese of San Jose, under the leadership of Bishop Oscar Cantú, has embarked on a meaningful Pastoral Planning Process—a spiritual and strategic journey to better serve the People of God through our parishes, schools, and diocesan offices. This process leads us toward a joyful celebration: the Golden Jubilee of the Diocese in 2031, which will also mark the 500th Anniversary of the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Since the official launch of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan in December 2023, we have witnessed inspiring momentum across our diocesan community. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the support of the newly established Pastoral Plan and Implementation Office, we are moving forward with hope and purpose. The plan focuses on six key priorities (or what the diocese calls “pillars”).
* Worship
* Outreach
* Formation
* Youth and Young Adults
* Family
* Structural Renewal
Here at our Church of the Resurrection, our Parish Leadership Team (Pastoral Council) has taken this call to heart. We have been actively discerning and working together to align our parish life with these priorities — all with the goal of strengthening the practice of faith, building a more vibrant, welcoming and engaging community, and mission-centered parish.
This journey will require all of us — clergy, lay leaders, and parishioners — to walk together in faith, to listen deeply, and to act boldly with clarity and charity. We look forward to sharing updates with you, inviting your participation, and celebrating the fruits of our shared labor in Christ in the months and years ahead.
For more information about the pastoral plan, you may visit www.dsj.org.
Let us continue to pray for our Diocese, our parish, and one another as we take these hopeful steps toward renewal and growth.
Serving you in Christ,
Fr. Mark

Mosaic of Blessed Mother
The mosaic in the rear of the Church depicts the Blessed Mother. The Blessed Mother served as the spiritual theme for Fr. Nicholas Farana's initial parish outreach program called "R.O.P.E." (Reach out to People Everywhere)
Mosaic of Jesus
On the other side of the Mosaic of the Blessed Mother is the matching mosaic of Jesus with children of all different nations.
Stained Glass Art Windows
As you walk into Church of the Resurrection, you are greeted by the beauty of the stained glass art windows throughout the Church, behind the sanctuary, and in the Chapel.
and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 10:25
Visiting the Chapel
Looking at the Chapel window from within the Chapel, you see to the right of the entrance a faceted glass windows featuring St. Clare, co-patron saint of the Diocese of San Jose, and St. Francis of Assisi holding the Cross.
