Pastor's Corner

March 5th, 2023

Dear God's Family,


" He saved us and called us to be holy "

(2 Timothy 1:9)


What does it mean to be holy? In the Bible, Holiness is the essence of God, who is wholly other than us but nevertheless choses to be one with us. To be holy is to be set apart, to be different. It is God who sets us apart, not in a way that removes us from reality, but in a way that allows us to see the world and ourselves from a divine perspective. God sets us apart so that we build the kingdom of God right in the midst of our daily life - a kingdom of love, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance as taught and modeled by our Lord Jesus Christ.


Holiness right here and now is like a mother or father who commits to creating a home where discipline is matched with love and forgiveness. Holiness is like a community lifting up a family in prayer and practical support during difficult times. Holiness is like the worker who steadily lifts up others so that they learn to shine in their own work. Holiness is like you as you grow in your desire to experience the loving mercy of God and share it with others. Holiness is letting the light of Christ shine through you to others.



Fr. Arturo Albano

Pastor

Dear parishioners and friends of SVDP,


As you know, each year the San Francisco Archdiocese assesses each parish with a monetary figure that helps fund the work of the Catholic Church and Cathedral in greater San Francisco. This is money that we as a parish send directly to the Archdiocese and is above and beyond your weekly envelope/tithing. This year, SVDP’s assessment is $91,068 and we must meet this goal before 12/31/2023.


To help, you can:

1.) Use the donation link below.

2.) Put a check in the Sunday Collection, please put “2023 AAA” in the memo line.

3.) Contact the Parish Office at (415) 922-1010.


Blessings,

Fr. Arturo Albano Pastor

Becoming a member of a parish community is a very important aspect of our Catholic life. In the parish setting, we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, listen to the Word of God proclaimed, find forgiveness of our sins in Reconciliation, and communal support, and ways to give life to our faith. The parish is a living, breathing entity because God interacts with His people in it.
