Devine, Lou Frank and Lory Manzano.
May God bless them and keep them in His
care.
We have an elderly gentleman in our parish
who is in need of transportation to the
doctor on a regular basis. If you can
assist in any way, please call the Rectory
Office at (650) 583-4131. Thank you!
In today’s second reading, St. Paul
provides a wonderful one-sentence summary
of Christian stewardship: Out of love,
place yourselves at one another’s
service.

Dear
Friends,
I
want to say thank you to Father
Caverte for his 8 years of
service to Mater Dolorosa Church.
Good luck to you on your
retirement as you move on to
Epiphany Parish in San
Francisco.
Another
thank you to the Sisters of St.
Paul of Chartres who worked in
our school for the past 2 years.
Best of luck as you journey home
to the
Philippines.
Finally,
thank you Bill Ruggiero for being
our Parish Administrator this
past year. I wish you well in
your future
endeavors.
As
we say goodbye to these five
people, we will be saying hello
to some new people who will be
coming here to help in the coming
months! I will keep you
posted.

Happy
Fourth of
July!

Due to popular demand, on Labor Day,
Monday, September 3rd, we will switch the
weekly daily Mass (Monday through
Saturday) back to 8:00 a.m.
Please
note the date and time!
Thought for the Week
Out of
the mouth of babes. . . .
The
children were lined up in the cafeteria of
a Catholic elementary school for lunch.
At the head of the table was a large pile
of apples. The nun made a note and posted
it on the tray of apples: “Take only
ONE. God is
watching.”
Moving
further along the lunch line, at the other
end of the table was a large pile of
chocolate chip cookies. A child had
written a note, “Take all you want,
God is watching the
apples.”
WANTED:
More singers, musicians, and
instrumentalists at both the 10:00 a.m.
and 12:00 Noon Sunday Masses. We are also
looking for children to build up our
Children’s Choir on the first Sunday
of the month at the 10:00 a.m. Mass.
Additionally, we are looking for a Cantor
at the 5:00 p.m. Saturday evening Mass and
for an Organist at the 8:00 a.m. Sunday
Mass. If interested in helping out in any
of these music ministries, please call the
Rectory. Our Sunday Liturgy is only as
good as the people who choose to serve.
Thank you for thinking about serving in
any of these wonderful music
ministries!
Our
Rectory Office will be closed on
Wednesday, July 4th. Please have a happy
and safe Independence
Day!
