St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Greetings to all who visit here. This Sunday we are celebrating the feast of the Ascension of the Lord. Pentecost Sunday will follow next week. It is an Easter season so different in our lives from years past. Yet most (if not all), are praying more than ever and remembering those we know and those we do not know personally as one and all live through these difficult months. Those who are ill and all who are caring for them must be in our prayers every day.

It is a time of year that should be so special for all who are graduating at various levels of education. So much that is traditional and central at graduation time is not possible for students and their families. St. Catherine of Siena School eighth grade and kindergarten students will graduate the first week of June. The ceremonies will be in the parking lot. Do remember all graduates.

Fr. Gerry O'Rourke celebrates his 95th birthday this coming week, May 27th. We will all pray for him. Fr. Gerry resides at Atria here in Burlingame. It has not been possible for him to have had any visitors for more than two months. His close friends have been able to talk with him by phone every day.

Thanks to all who have sent in pictures for the church pews on Pentecost Sunday. You may drop off your picture in the rectory mailbox before Friday, May 29th. It should be 8 1/2" by 11" or 8 1/2" by 14" on white paper.

Continue to pray for one another. Visit the Archdiocesan website and its various platforms for spiritual resources and updates. Stay safe.

Blessing,

Fr. John Ryan

Pastor
