The Advent Giving Tree - NEW IDEA this year

The people of O.L.M. Parish have been most generous in buying gifts for families in the Tenderloin the past few years, as part of our Advent tradition. However, given some logistical problems we’ve run into, and given the many people in our own neighborhoods who are having a very rough time economically, we will be doing something different this year. Namely, if you would like to do a little something special for Advent, we encourage you to consider one of the following:

Drop off a donation at the rectory for our parish Saint Vincent de Paul Society, whose members go to visit needy families here in Westlake and help them with food, diapers, milk, money for rent, etc.

Visit the web site of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Mateo County and see how you can help: http://www.svdp-sanmateoco.org

Contact their “homeless help center” at 344 Grand Ave. in South S.F. and see if you can volunteer, donate goods, or send a monetary contribution: Svdpinfo@yahoo.com

Call their District Office at (650) 373-0623 and see if you can help in other ways.

20th Anniversary, Missionary Sisters of the Holy Cross

On Saturday, August 2, during a special 10:30 a.m. Mass here at OLM, Bishop William Justice will come to OLM to help our very own Missionary Sisters of the Holy Cross celebrate the 20th anniversary of their arrival from Vietnam.

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.

RVM 50th anniversary

During the weekend of July 5, the Religious of the Virgin Mary begin a year of celebration surrounding their 50th anniversary of coming to California to begin their mission work here. As Sacramento was their first mission, the celebrations will be held there, so please keep our R.V.M. Sisters in your prayers during this happy and festive time. (During a meeting this morning, I also learned that our Convent community will be blessed with some new Sisters, about whom you may read in the coming parish bulletins!) As you know, the R.V.M. 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.
