Loving The Mass, Loving Jesus (Week 1 of 4)
September 7, 2025
We begin our special homily series on the parts of the Mass with a focus on the Introductory Rites. These opening moments are not simply a prelude before the “real” Mass begins. The entrance procession, the veneration of the altar, and the Sign of the Cross set the tone: we are entering into holy worship. The greeting, “The Lord be with you,” reminds us that Christ Himself is in our midst. The Act of Penance and the Kyrie (“Lord, have mercy”) purify our hearts, while the Gloria lifts our praise to God. The Collect gathers all our prayers into one, offered to the Father through Christ.
Fr. Mark and Fr. Louis will help us rediscover how these opening rites are not routine words but a sacred doorway into the mystery of the Eucharist. All are welcome!

Attention All Ministers and Catechists
September 28, 2025
There will be an onsite fingerprinting opportunity on Sept 28th from 9:30 - 1:00 pm
in the Youth Room. This is for all volunteers over the age of 18 who have not yet
been fingerprinted. Please note: The Diocese of San Jose does not share results,
so even if you have been fingerprinted somewhere else, you will have to do it again.
Fee is $20 which may be refunded if you submit your receipt to the office. There is an additional requirement for volunteering: the online class “Protecting God’s Children” must be taken every 3 years. If you’re unsure if you’ve been fingerprinted previously or are due to retake the online class, please contact Amy at the office: Astacke@resparish.org.
