As part of the liturgy, Sr. Marie Faustina Thanh Tu Pham, L.H.C., will also be making her First Profession.
There will be a reception down in the Church Hall right afterwards.
The L.H.C. Convent on Southgate Avenue, near the library, was the first house they established here in California, and it has been going strong ever since. As you may be aware, the Qui Nhon Sisters of the Holy Cross are responsible for keeping our Church so beautiful: they clean and decorate the worship space each week, they purchase and arrange the flowers for the sanctuary, they serve as weekend sacristans, and they take care of the vestments and altar linens. Please join us for this festive occasion next Saturday, and call Barbara at the rectory if you can bring your favorite food dish for the party.

The adoration concludes with Evening Prayer and Benediction at 8:30 p.m.
On the First Friday of every month, Benediction is at 8:15 p.m., followed by
the First Friday Mass at 8:30 p.m.
All are welcome to join us in spending prayer time in the presence of the
Blessed Sacrament.
Several members of the parish and the parish staff approached the pastor about
expanding the Eucharistic Exposition, especially as working people did not
have the opportunity to participate. Many parish groups (youth group,
Charismatic prayer group, Third Order Carmelites, CCD students) have already
volunteered to help organize this new prayer experience and invite Catholics
to sign up for adoration throughout the day and evening.

Sisters are a vital part of our parish, especially in running the Religious Education Program, the Grief Support Ministry, organizing Simbang Gabi each December, and countless other ministries.
