Each year all parishes in the Diocese of San Diego
are asked to participate in the Annual Lenten Collection.
This collection raises funds for the Church in places other
than the United States, places like Latin America, the
Middle East and in particular
the Holy Land, the
birthplace of our faith. Envelopes for this collection have
been placed in the pews and we invite you to be as
generous as possible. You may indicate on the envelope if
you would like to designate your contribution to one or
more of the four causes included in this collection.
In his 2005 Encyclical letter entitled Deus Caritas
Est, Pope Benedict wrote about the centrality of the
concept of “Communion” to the identity of the Church. He
wrote “Love of neighbor, grounded in the love of God, is
first and foremost a responsibility for each individual
member of the faithful, but it is also a responsibility for
the entire ecclesial community at every level: from the
local community to the particular Church and to the
Church universal in its entirety. As a community, the
Church must practice love. Love thus needs to be
organized if it is to be an ordered service to the
community. The awareness of this responsibility has had
a constitutive relevance in the Church from the beginning:
“All who believed were together and had all things in
common; and they sold their possessions and goods and
distributed them to all, as any had need”. In these words,
Saint Luke provides a kind of definition of the Church,
whose constitutive elements include fidelity to the
“teaching of the Apostles”, “communion” (koinonia), “the
breaking of the bread” and “prayer”. The element of
“communion” (koinonia) is not initially defined, but
appears concretely in the verses quoted above: it consists
in the fact that believers hold all things in common and
that among them, there is no longer any distinction
between rich and poor. As the Church grew, this radical
form of material communion could not in fact be
preserved. But its essential core remained: within the
community of believers there can never be room for a
poverty that denies anyone what is needed for a dignified
life.”
Don’t forget our Parish Lenten Penance
Service which will take place on Wednesday,
March 16th beginning at 7:00 p.m.
We will have a number of priests from the
neighboring parishes with us to assist with
this celebration.

I hope as many of you as possible are
planning to join us for our annual
St. Patrick’s Day Dinner. This year it will be
celebrated in the Parish Hall on Thursday,
March 17th. This is always a wonderful
evening with great food, great music, Irish
dancing, and fellowship. (Plus you never know what your
pastor might have up his sleeve). Tickets are still available
but I would ask you to get yours as soon as possible
before they sell out.
CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up.
