Dear Parishioners and Friends,

 

Our Church observes a special Week of Prayer for Christian Unity from January 18th to 25th, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul.  During the week, we are all asked to pray that Christians everywhere will be united in their witness to the risen Lord.  The bulletin has details of the Solemn Vespers service at St. Pius X Parish, Redwood City on Thursday next, , January 22.  It is a wonderful intention in our  personal and family prayer at all times, especially this week.

 

There are some other very significant days this week:

On Monday, January 19th, as the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. is observed, we are asked to pray for the end of all racial discrimination.  

On Thursday, January 22nd, we are encouraged to observe a day of prayer and penance for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life.  All violations of human dignity are contrary to the Gospel of Jesus.

 

 

All are invited to our St. Catherine of Siena School Open House next Sunday (January 25).  There will be a Family Mass at 9:00 AM; Open House in School follows Mass, 10:00 AM-12:00 Noon.

 

Tickets are on sale for the Festa Italiana Crab Feed on Saturday, January 30.  It is always a fun event!  Ticket details are in the bulletin.  You may also call the St. Catherine School office.

 

Continue to pray for peace in our world.
