"Something Beautiful for Mary!"

We are looking for QUITE a few good men, women and children to volunteer as a "bead" in our Living Rosary, to be held on Sunday afternoon at 3pm on May 16.  It won't take much time out of your day and this can be a lovely, rewarding tribute to Our Lady during her month of May!  We ask that you bring one rose for each volunteer.  

Please contact Jane Walker 916-759-3674 or Sandy Mazza 925-890-3749, if you would like to be a part of "Something Beautiful for Mary!"

March Baby Items Drive Thank You 
Bishop Michael Barber, along with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has urgently called us to support the nation-wide, year long campaign to help women in unwanted and crisis pregnancies, Walking with Moms in Need - A Year of Service.  Thank you to all those who helped us support Birthright of Concord, and the Gabriel Project of Concord with your generous donations of baby items. 
May God bless you for helping these moms to choose an alternative to abortion.

O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life. 
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born,
upon the poor whose lives are made difficult,
upon men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
upon those on death row,
upon the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.

Obtain for them the grace to build,
together with all people of good will,
a civilization of truth and love and a culture of life,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and Author of Life.

Adapted from the Prayer of John Paul II, for the protection of life in all stages.

Please join us for a Respect Life Rosary on the second Sunday of each month.  We meet after 9am Mass, now at the Respect Life memorial in the garden behind the church.   For more information please contact Jane Walker at (925) 934-2129.
