THANK YOU FOR HOLY WEEK
Thank you to all the liturgical ministers who worked together to bring
about the Holy Week services. Leo lit the fire for the Easter Vigil and
carved the amazing processional cross and tabernacle, Paul pulled together
all the technical needs, Kathleen laundered the altar linens, Madeline had
her feet washed, Chris worked many hours with all the lectors, Paul and
Roger scheduled the eucharistic ministers, Kathryn designed all the
programs, John and Joanne led the greeters, Craig and the altar servers
made things run smoothly, the musicians worked countless hours to lead the
sung prayer, Nancy guided the newest members of our community to their
initiation, Catherine sent beautiful Lenten prayers to our young families,
Andrew and Estella walked the stations through the foothills, our
presiders crafted the liturgies and preaching, and together with the whole
community, we prayed. May God.s most gracious Holy Spirit lead us to work
for peace and allow us joy as we celebrate this Easter season. Blessings,
Teresa.

POPE BIRTHDAY PROJECT
The National Catholic Educational Association has launched a project to
honor the Pope on his birthday, April 16 as well as his U.S. visit on
April 15-20, which will focus on education. The NCEA is inviting college
students to participate in "Birthday Blessings for Pope Benedict XVI: A
gift of public service from U.S. Catholic youth and students," a campaign
seeking service hours in honor of the Holy Father's birthday. Students in
schools, religious education programs, colleges and seminaries from all
over the U.S. are being asked to complete or pledge (for completion by May
31, 2008) community service time in the name of the Pope. Activities could
include efforts in which students are already involved, those that reflect
the mission of the church to serve others, simply any kind of service that
helps others. You can pledge individually at http://ncea.catholic.org or
send an e-mail to the Interns (cestella@stanford.edu) for more information
and a pledge form to be included in the parish-wide pledge form. Contact
the Interns or visit http://ncea.catholic.org for more
information.
FAITH IN ACTION
The Church works in both Sacramento and Washington to
bring Catholic values to proposed legislation. You can become
better informed and help affect the process at key times by
signing up to receive electronic news letters and action alerts.
Sign up for the national list with the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops or the California Catholic
Conference (the policy arm
of the California dioceses). We can make a difference!
"UNNATURAL CAUSES"
"Unnatural Causes" is a 4-hour PBS documentary series
exploring America's racial and socioeconomic inequities in
health. The series sheds light on evidence that demonstrates
how work, wealth, neighborhood conditions, and lack of
access to power and resources can actually disrupt human
health. Personal stories are told to demonstrate how social
conditions are as vital to our health as diet and exercise.
The series will air nationally over four weeks beginning
on Thursday March 27th on KQED - San Francisco at 10:00
pm (more local
listings...) (Submitted by peter_barling@hotmail.com)
