Laudato Si': Our Lenten Journey (Third Week of Lent)
This Third Sunday of Lent, we meet Jesus at the well with the Samaritan woman. In her thirst, we see our own. We come to the well carrying empty buckets—fatigue, worry, distraction—and Jesus offers something deeper: “living water.” He does not condemn her past; He awakens her future.
Season of Lent
Stations of the Cross & Lenten Soup Supper
This Lenten season, our period of fasting and penitential preparation preceding Easter continues. On Friday evening, March 13, at 6:00 PM, we will follow again in Christ’s Passion through the Stations of the Cross. There is soup supper in Farana center hall after the Stations of Cross being prepared and donated by the Scouts. The soup supper will be free but a offering for the needy will be gratefully accepted.

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.
Diocesan Pastoral Plan Update
Dear Parishioners:
Last January, we invited you to share your thoughts, hopes, concerns, and dreams for our parish by completing a parish-wide survey and taking part in our listening sessions. We are deeply grateful to all who took part in this important process. Your voice truly matters.

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
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.
A replica of Michelangelo's Pieta graces the gardens in the piazza.
