From Pastor’s Desk

A ll good things come to completion, as we work through the cycles of life and experience God in our lives. Jesus reminded the disciples they were to be “salt and

light for others”, to bring out the best in others, to be the flavor that made discipleship attractive as food enlivens the senses and has its own attraction. He told them, “You are the light of the world,” giving people hope when they feel hopeless, illuminating the darkness that may surround them, but offering them a hint that they too could be life for others. Jesus affords us the opportunities for having hope and blessing others with the gifts God gives to us.

A fter thirteen years, you will be the judge on how well we strove for being light and life for others, bolstering the lives and hopes for others, bringing joy and hope to children at Saint Joseph’s Family

Center in Gilroy or encouragement to the students at Amigos de Guadalupe Homework Center on the east side, or the many meals served to the homeless at Home First, or Martha’s kitchen, assisting people who are hungry or in need, that they too can be salt and light for others.

F or thirteen years, we have made our ADA Goal every year. This year the ADA theme is “Encounter Christ and put our faith into action” responding to the Bishop’s invitation to know Christ, loving Christ and

Serve Christ in all of these ways. I trust in you that we will make our goal again this year. By supporting the Annual Diocesan Appeal our outreach is greater than what we can do by ourselves, touching the lives and hearts of others in our communities and parishes. Please prayerfully reflect on what you can pledge this year to support the ministries of our diocese and benefit our parish as well. I suggest a pledge of $500 or more payable over ten months.

E ven though I will be retiring at the end of June, I promise to make my pledge to support the Diocese of San Jose and Saint Anthony parish. I am hopeful that if 188 households could support this effort last year

we could have 200 households support the bishop this year. Together let us be salt and light for others. Peace and Blessings, Father Larry

Pledge Kick-Off Weekend, February 8/9

Each year our parish and every parish in our Diocese is responsible for a portion of the financial obligation it takes to meet the ministry, programs and services of our Catholic Church. Together, we are able to reach so many more in need than our parish could ever reach alone. By now you

should have received at your home, a personal invitation from and Bishop Cantú to participate in the 2020 Annual Diocesan Appeal, Encountering Christ, Faith in Action.

Please take the time to look through the brochure at the services, programs and ministries of our

Diocese, the many people that are served through this joining of resources and the wonderful generosity that has been shared. I ask you in partnership with Bishop Cantú to consider a gift/pledge

to the Annual Diocesan Appeal, to benefit our parish and more importantly all our parishes in the diocese. Every gift is valuable. Sometimes it is hard to envision how your one gift could make a difference in an organization the size of our Diocese, but it does, each Catholic family, each parish, TOGETHER,

can fulfill the mission of our Church, to love and serve one another. In trying times our gifts from God may be more difficult to identify, God blesses each of us every day. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Thank you for continuing to support your parish and our diocesan

faith community in so many ways.
