Today, our Seminarians for the Diocese of San José stopped by the Chancery (administrative offices) after their Summer Convocation before beginning later this week their Summer Immersion Program. It is always a joy and source of hope to be with these young men who are generously discerning God’s call to the Holy Priesthood.![]()

Our seminarians are currently studying and receiving formation at two major seminaries in the United States: Mount Angel Seminary near Portland, Oregon, and University of Saint Mary of the Lake / Mundelein Seminary near Chicago, Illinois.![]()
![]()
The Summer Immersion Program gives them valuable pastoral, spiritual, and human formation experiences as they continue their journey toward priesthood and service to the People of God.![]()

Please continue to pray for our seminarians, that they may grow in holiness, wisdom, humility, and zeal for the Gospel. May the Lord strengthen them in their vocation and bless our Diocese with many holy and faithful priests.![]()

Over these past weeks, we have journeyed together through the opening moments of the Mass. We have learned that our participation matters, that music is prayer, and that unity in worship strengthens our mission.![]()
We might be tempted to rush through familiar words and gestures — but if we pause, we see they are the liturgy's first moments of encounter, pointing us toward the greatest encounter of the Mass: Christ in the Eucharist.![]()
![]()
All of us were chosen to be there on that day for a reason. Christ has something he wants to tell each of us personally.![]()
May we be Renewed at the Table of the Lord, now and always.![]()

At the start of Mass, we acknowledge our need for God’s mercy, and then with confidence in his goodness, we profess our gratitude in the Gloria: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill!” ![]()
This movement from confession to praise is not a presumption that we have earned God’s mercy just by showing up. It is a response to it. Just as the angels proclaimed Christ’s birth to the shepherds, we proclaim “Glory!” to the Lord who sent his only Son to save us from the sins we just confessed, and we glorify the reality of his promise that His mercy never fails. This Sunday, let your Gloria be sung with JOY.![]()

Al comienzo de la Misa, reconocemos nuestra necesidad de la misericordia de Dios y, con confianza en su bondad, proclamamos nuestra gratitud en el Gloria: «Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los hombres que ama el Señor.»![]()
Este movimiento de la confesión a la alabanza no es una presunción de que hemos ganado la misericordia de Dios solo por presentarnos. Es una respuesta a ella. Así como los ángeles proclamaron el nacimiento de Cristo a los pastores, nosotros proclamamos «¡Gloria!» al Señor que envió a su único Hijo para salvarnos de los pecados que acabamos de confesar, y glorificamos la realidad de su promesa de que su misericordia nunca falla. ¡Este domingo, que tu Gloria se cante con ALEGRÍA!![]()

Dinner Only is another great opportunity to be involved. Hear the awards, engage in the raffles, enjoy a great buffet. As a past golfer with us, you know how the game all works, so I’ll save the details for the Friday email before we play.![]()

This year, the course is offering us a ‘drink cart’ to provide the beverages to our golfers rather than carrying drink tickets. This is a perfect opportunity for our $500.00 ‘drink sponsor’. The sponsor can drive along as a non-golfer, back and forth between our golfers, to provide the beverages as needed and enjoy the fun of watching the players. Proceeds benefit the church's buildings and grounds.![]()

I hope you'll join us once again for this fun event as we celebrate 10 years. Sign up today as a single, double, a triple, or a foursome - click the link above. I will be sure to get your team together.![]()
