Healing
Mass… Mass this coming Friday April 1st
is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many people as
possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind,
soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of
Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and
conversation.
Way of The
Cross… We will have ‘The Way Of The Cross’, Scripture reading, and a short meditation
followed by Holy Communion and a light supper, on Friday’s through Lent. Services
will begin at 6:15pm SHARP.
Right after, in our
St. James
Epistle…
Penance Service
[Confession] ……………
Confess therefore your sins to one
another and pray
Our Lenten Penance Service is set for Tuesday, April 5th at 6:00pm
for one
another that you may be saved. James 5:16
please try to keep this date open for this very important gathering.
Sincere Gratitude… to Fr. Mike O’Brien, Fr. Gerard

29th right after the 6:00pm Mass.
April the 13th… We will have a retreat for our

Community Garden… The Grenada Vista’s, Gerry Morris
and Jan Willis are planning a community garden, which will be located behind the
‘Cab’ and St. Peter’s. It is designed for 10 plots and the purpose of this
garden is to provide an area for individuals, families, or groups who may not have land to
grow fresh food but desire to do so for themselves, the poor, the elderly, or the soup
kitchen.
Speaking Engagement… Fr. Ruane has been asked to speak to
the young people at The First Methodist Church March 29th at 7:00am, the adult
group Wednesday March 30th at 12:00pm, and then at the 1st
Presbyterian Church on Monday of Holy Week.
Choose Life… As the Obama administration approved the
first human embryonic stem cells for experiments by federally-funded scientists,
pro-lifers argued that aside from the research being unethical, it is also unnecessary
because of the availability of adult stem cells and other more recently identified
alternatives. (San Diego Union Tribune, 12/3/09)
