On August 24/25, Deacon Frank and I preached a message about good stewardship of our time and talents. I explained that Jesus wants highly committed disciples, and I suggested how one can take steps to become such a disciple: (1) know what is happening at the parish, (2) participate in an event on campus at least once per week besides Sunday Mass, and (3) discern how your time and talents align with a parish ministry or group. You can listen to my homily here.

As it so happens, that are many opportunities for you to participate in September events, including the Encounter on September 13, a special Mass for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14, a joint worship at Jesus Culture on September 17, and on September 28 a rosary/Mass/reception for the the feast of the first Filipino saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz. Details about these can be found at https://www.olmcsandiego.org/events

Finally, we have another Good Life retreat coming up on October 4/5. When we started these over 10 years ago, it was my hope that eventually every parishioner would attend. For many who have attended, this retreat marked a new and better phase of their relationship with Jesus Christ. To find out more and to register, click this link https://www.goodlifeusa.org/learn-more
