Bishops Patrick J. McGrath will be celebrating the World Day of the Sick in honor of our Lady of Lourdes at St. Christopher Church. This is sponsored by The Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Join us for a special Eucharistic Celebration with anointing of the sick.
The prayer we begin on Ash Wednesday continues throughout the Lenten season. We ask God to prepare us to follow the way of his Son, through his Passion and Death, into the glory of the Resurrection. As we prepare for the holiest of seasons, Dan will engage you in music, gospel stories and reflections that invite them to enter the journey of Lent. This mission is designed to help us renew our faith and deepen our commitment to Christ by immersing ourselves in faith, bringing light to a world steeped in darkness. Event will be on March 18, 2017 from 10 AM – 3 PM at Holy Family Parish (4848 Pearl Ave., San Jose, CA 95136)
Presented by Bro. Guy Consolmagno
From the opening of Genesis to the most recent encyclical of Pope Francis, our belief in a Creator has meant that we believe God “reveals Himself in the things He has made” (to quote St. Paul). By looking at beauty in both nature and in the science that lets us understand nature we ask: What is God revealing to us?
Starts at 4pm on Feb. 17 and ends at 2pm on Feb. 19.

The parish community of St. Joseph of Cupertino will welcome the Year of the Rooster at its annual Chinese New Year mass on Sunday, February 12 at 11 A.M. This mass (in English) will blend Christian faith with elements of traditional Chinese culture, including a ceremony to honor the ancestors. Bishop McGrath will be our special guest. A Chinese lunch and entertainment will follow in the parish hall; all are invited to bring different ethnic foods to share. For more information, please contact Fr. Greg Kimm at pastor@stjoscup.org or 408-252-7653 x24.
MCA, SBIA, WVMA, ICZ, and SABA Imams and Boards request your presence at an interfaith event in solidarity with the Catholic community. Bishop McGrath, who leads over 50 Catholic churches in Santa Clara County, will join Imams from Bay Area Mosques and civic leaders on Martin Luther King day to mark the start of this partnership. The event will include joint prayers, exchange of ideas for dialogue, understanding and unity between the two communities in serving humanity while seeking justice and fairness for all. This event will be the first of many events leading to increased collaboration and friendship between Muslims and Christians through engagements at various levels.
Speeches will begin at 1pm, followed by lunch 2:30pm.
