Making Time For What Matter Most
Dear Parishioners,
Last weekend, our parish was filled with laughter, conversation, games, delicious food, and the joyful sounds of families enjoying one another’s company. Our Parish Picnic was a tremendous success! It was wonderful to see parishioners of every age spending time together, meeting new friends, renewing old friendships, and simply enjoying the gift of being a faith community.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, planned, cooked, set up, cleaned up, sponsored activities, and helped make the day such a memorable celebration. Your generosity and willingness to serve are beautiful reminders that the Church is not simply a building we come to on Sundays—it is a family that grows stronger whenever we gather in faith and fellowship.
The Gospel this Sunday invites us to reflect on what truly matters. As Martha busies herself with many tasks, Mary chooses to sit quietly at the feet of Jesus and listen to Him. Jesus does not criticize Martha’s generosity or hard work; rather, He gently reminds her that amidst all the activity of life, we must never lose sight of what matters most—our relationship with Him.
Our parish picnic reflected that balance beautifully. We worked hard to prepare the event, but more importantly, we took time to be together. We laughed together, shared meals together, and strengthened the relationships that make our parish a welcoming home for all. Moments like these remind us that building God’s Kingdom happens not only through ministry and service, but also through genuine friendship, hospitality, and joyful fellowship.
As we continue through the summer, may we all strive to imitate both Martha and Mary: serving generously with willing hands while never neglecting to sit at the feet of Jesus in prayer. When Christ remains at the center of our lives, our work becomes joyful, our service becomes meaningful, and our community becomes a living witness of His love.
Thank you once again for making our church such a vibrant and faith-filled parish. I look forward to many more opportunities for us to grow together in faith, friendship, and the love of Christ.
Note: Do not forget our Parish Launch of the Sowing Seeds of Faith Campaign on next Sunday, July 26, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Farana Center. During this gathering, we will share the vision of the campaign, explain how it will benefit our parish, and discuss how each of us can participate in this journey of faith. See you there!

Dear Parishioners,
In every generation, the Church is called to renew her mission and to prepare the way for those who will come after us. As members of this parish family, we have received so much from those who came before us—the gift of faith, a community of prayer, and a place where we encounter Christ. Now it is our turn to continue that legacy. With that spirit of gratitude and hope, I would like to share with you an important initiative taking place throughout our Diocese: the capital campaign called “Sowing Seeds of Faith.”

Parish Survey and Listening Sessions - Results
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Parish Survey and Listening Sessions! More than 250 parishioners responded to the survey, and over 120 parishioners attended the listening sessions, generously offering their time, insights, and heartfelt input. Once again, we thank you for your openness, honesty, and commitment to the life and future of our parish. Please see the summary of results here.

A Note About The Annual Diocesan Appeal
Each year, the Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) supports the regular operations of shared ministries and services that no single parish can sustain alone—from seminarian formation to Catholic Charites to faith formation resources.
For 2026 only, we will not have a separate ADA. Instead, we invite you to direct gifts you would ordinarily offer to the ADA toward the Sowing Seeds of Faith Campaign for Spiritual Renewal. This diocesan-wide campaign is helping every parish bring our Pastoral Plan to life.
Our parish will be participating in Sowing Seeds of Faith later this year, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, thank you for your continued generosity and for walking with us as we discern how God is calling our community to grow.

On the other side of the Mosaic of the Blessed Mother is the matching mosaic of Jesus with children of all different nations.

and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 10:25
Visiting the Chapel
Statues of Child Jesus, Our Lady and St. Joseph in the Chapel were hand-carved in Ortisei-Bolzano, Italy. 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.
