Saint Monica

August 27

We honor St. Monica, whose holy example and fervent intercession led to one of the most dramatic conversions in Church history.  In modern times, she inspires the St. Monica Sodality, which encourages prayer and penance among Catholics whose children have left the faith.

Ladies Guild Meeting

September 2

Ladies of the Parish ... the Ladies Guild 2026-2027 season officially starts at our September 2nd meeting
which will be held in the Parish Center at 6:30 pm.
This meeting is an opportunity to catch up with members after everyone’s busy summer, pay your annual dues and hear other Ladies Guild news.

Our main agenda item is the details of our FallFaire which is our biggest fundraiser enabling us to
provide support to our many outreach programs.
However, perhaps the highlight of this meeting will be the ice cream social, soda fountain style which is back by popular demand! Create your own sundae with an
assortment of toppings, make a root-beer float or …enjoy both. Please join us to kickoff our new season, reconnect with friends and enjoy some ice cream.

We hope to see you on the 2nd. If you need or know someone who needs a ride to the meeting, please contact Judy: 650-207-1210 or fkarl99@aol.com for arrangements.

Speaker Series: The Ins and Outs of Voting

September 27

Save the date, September 27th, for a completely non-partisan presentation of the voting process and interpreting Propositions on a ballot. Rose Payan and Barbara Kuehn will provide valuable information about interpreting Propositions on a ballot, information that you can use for years to come. 

For example, did you know that it is legal for drafters of Propositions to include something totally unrelated to the main Proposition in it so that if the main one gets passed, so does the other buried in it, and you did not even know it was there? Most people aren't aware of the buried, unrelated matter unless you read the entire Proposition. A ballot measure can also be written in such a way that you have no idea what you are actually voting for, not explaining what the underlying result of the ballot measure actually means. You think one thing from the name of the Proposition, but it means something totally different.

You will also be provided with handouts on the 14 Propositions on the November ballot. There will also be a presentation from the League of Women Voters. This will not be about how to mark your ballot or who or what to vote for. Even if you think you know all that there is to know about voting, we encourage you to attend. You may be surprised at what you learn, and you can enjoy some delicious snacks at the same time!

Please sign up in church if you plan to attend.  

You Are Invited to COR 

When: Monday, August 31 at 7:00 PM
Where: Parish Center

Join us for Cor as we explore "The Call of Synodality: Listening, Discerning, and Walking Together." In a world marked by polarization, how can our faith guide both our Church and civic life?
Together, we will reflect on how listening with humility, engaging in honest dialogue, and putting communion before strategy can transform our culture. True unity does not mean uniformity, but finding strength in shared dignity and Christ’s truth.
Come for prayer, fellowship, and meaningful conversation as we learn to walk together. All are welcome!
