Dear
Friends,
Happy,
happy Easter! This is such a
joyous occasion that the Church
cannot contain her joy just to
one 24 hour day. The Church
celebrates Easter for the next 50
days! What a celebration, and we
are all invited!
Thank
you to all the people who made
Easter possible this year: the
Altar Servers, the Altar Society,
the Choir, the Eucharistic
Ministers, the Lectors, and the
Ushers. Thank you, one and all,
for a job well done.
We
had good crowds for both our Good
Friday Services. That was the
good news. The bad news is 100
people mistakenly took our
Station of the Cross booklets.
If you are one of those people,
please return the booklet. The
booklets cost a few bucks and we
would like to use them again next
year. Please return the
booklets if you have them.
Thanks!
As
of today, we have 95 students
registered for school next year,
15 short of what the Archbishop
wants. I hope we can get those
remaining 15 students and keep
the school open. If you know of
any school aged child, have their
parents get in touch with the
school. Thanks! I’ll keep
you informed, via the Sunday
Bulletin, with what is happening
to our school.
|
Have
a great Second Week of
Easter!

Estate
Planning Seminar at Mater Dolorosa
May
12, 2007, 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Parish Hall
Get
answers to your questions at the Estate
Planning Seminar. What is the difference
between a will and a living trust? What
is the best way to hold property? Can you
avoid estate taxes? Can you bypass
capital gains tax? Are there pros and
cons of Conservatorship? Do you know
about life support systems and your
rights? Answers to these questions and
many more, will be heard at this seminar.
Separate sessions will be held for single
and married people. The session you
choose could help you create or tighten up
an estate plan, be it a simple will or a
complex living trust. You will hear how
sound estate planning can save taxes,
avoid probate, increase lifetime income,
avoid needless medical expense, and
prevent family misunderstandings.
Attorneys Laurence P. Dugoni and Daniel
Brown will be the presenters. The seminar
is free, but reservations are appreciated
and can be made by calling 650-583-4131.
Forgiveness:
The Healing Act
One of
the key teachings of Jesus, and one of the
most challenging to apply in “real
life” is the teaching of forgiveness.
This one day retreat at Vallombrosa
Center will focus on the forgiveness
teachings of Christ. The day will be led
by Susan Cabrera, MA from 10:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. on April 28th. The cost is
$40.00 per person, and includes lunch.
Please call Vallombrosa Center at
650-325-5614 for more information.
First
Friday All Day Eucharistic Adoration at
Mater Dolorosa
Please
take some time out of your busy schedule
for time spent in adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament. This is an opportunity to
spend time in the Holy Presence of Jesus
Christ. All day adoration is followed by
Holy Hour and Benediction at 7:30 p.m.
Our
next First Friday is on May 4, 2007.
Please
give it some
thought
