Announcement on New Restrictions
Dear Parishioners,
As you have probably heard in the news, San Mateo County has been added to the California COVID “Watch List.” As a result, countywide "restrictions would take effect” on indoor gatherings including places of worship.
In view of this, we are working carefully to prepare for the celebration of mass outdoor. The health and safety of you and your families is our utmost concern and every consideration is being made to ensure all safety measures required by San Mateo County health officials and medical experts are followed.
In his Memo to priest on July 31, our Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone asked to “do everything possible to make Mass available to your people...making more Masses will minimize the risk that some Masses may become overcrowded with people having to be sent away.”
Temporarily, until further notice starting tomorrow, Sunday, August 2, we will NOT hold INDOOR Masses.
Instead, we will hold OUTDOOR Sunday Masses (8:00 am and 9:30 am) in front of the Church side door.
A Mass will still be live streamed at 10:30 am Sunday and weekday at 8:00 am.
Starting next weekend, August 8 and 9, outdoor Masses in front of the Church side door, will be as follows:- Saturday at 5:00 pm
- Sunday 8:00 am, 9:30 am and (if possible 5:30 pm which will be announce)
Please remember everyone must wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
Thank you and stay safe!
Father Senic Cirera

Archdiosean Annual Appeal
This month we also want to call out our Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. Help us get to our goal! The theme for this year’s Archdiocesan Annual Appeal is "Use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace." (1 Peter 4:10). By responding to God's call to stewardship and grace, and participating in the Annual Appeal, we are collectively able to support such varied and critical needs as parish ministries, youth and young adult ministry, our schools, priestly formation, ministering to the poor, social ministries, and the greater Church, among others.
