Greetings, St. Charles Family:
If you would like to join in the fun beginning at 5:30 pm this evening, a surprise drive-by parade will be held in celebration of Fr. Mark's 25th anniversary of ordination into the priesthood - his silver jubilee.
DIRECTIONS: Arrive in Pleasanton at 5:30 pm in the parking lot at 3550 Bernal Ave - the parking lot for the old New Leaf grocery store. At 6:00 pm, we will drive up Bernal Ave to the St. Agustine rectory and surprise Fr. Mark.
Meanwhile, WINGS will be meeting for the first time on Zoom at 10:30 am tomorrow morning. Even though this ministry's acronym stands for "Women In God's Spirit", I am told that everyone is invited to attend... Women, men, angels, unicorns, parishioners, and non-parishioners. (I can only hope that priests are invited too!) Margaret Riley will be the guest speaker, and I understand a surprise musician co-host will be joining her. Please see below for details and the Zoom link.
At 7:00 pm tomorrow evening, our Adult Bible Study topic will be part II of "The Bible and Racism", and I look forward to seeing you once again on Zoom!
Regarding the promised reading materials that were mentioned during last night's Q&A session, those will be included soon, in a future flocknote.
Finally, if you have a friend or family member who is curious about how Catholics walk with Jesus, encourage them to join you in participating in this evening's "Come and See" Zoom session, where the topic will be "What is the Church?" To receive a Zoom invitation, contact Daniel Goodman at danielgca@comcast.net.
Blessings to each and every one of you!
