This weekend, May 9–10, our parishes take up the Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County Annual Parish Appeal.
Last year alone, Catholic Charities served 107,960 of our neighbors across 30+ programs — providing over 6.3 million meals, supporting refugees, helping families find stable housing, and walking alongside those rebuilding their lives. Behind every number is a person. A child safe after school. A senior with a warm meal. A family with a path forward.
✨ Some of what your generosity makes possible:
• 3,618 students served through the CORAL Afterschool Program — keeping kids safe while parents work
• 631 adults supported with job coaching and employment placement
• $1.7 million in tax refunds returned to 1,012 low-income families
• 2,000+ new affordable homes in the pipeline for Santa Clara County
• 82% of refugee youth enrolled in college after high school

This is the Church at work — not just in our pews, but on our streets, in our schools, and at our neighbors' doors. Please give generously at Mass this weekend.

In every entrance procession, the crucifix leads the way, inviting all to follow him to the altar of sacrifice and resurrection. The candles are not decorations. Their flames symbolize the Light of the World, accompanying us as we come as ourselves. Those who process in (altar servers, deacon, and presider) do so on behalf of the whole assembly, because the liturgy is always the action of the whole Church. Try to imagine yourself as part of that procession, walking toward the Lord who waits to embrace you.


En cada procesión de entrada, el crucifijo abre el camino, invitándonos a seguirlo hasta el altar del sacrificio y la resurrección. Las velas no son decoración. Sus llamas simbolizan la Luz del Mundo, que nos acompaña tal como somos. Quienes participan en la procesión —acólitos, diácono y el celebrante— lo hacen en nombre de toda la asamblea, porque la liturgia es siempre la acción de toda la Iglesia. Intenta imaginarte como parte de esa procesión, caminando hacia el Señor que espera para abrazarte.

Did you know: The Mass begins before the priest processes in? The Church has always understood that preparation for Mass is not about being perfect or going through the motions perfectly. Instead, it’s about coming before God in humble sincerity and allowing Him to transform us. Come as you are, with all you have lived and experienced that week, and encounter Christ who loves you!


¿Sabías que la Misa comienza antes de que el sacerdote entre en procesión? La Iglesia siempre ha entendido que la preparación para la Misa no se trata de ser perfectos ni de seguir los pasos a la perfección. Se trata de presentarnos ante Dios con humilde sinceridad y dejarnos transformar por Él. ¡Ven tal como eres, con todo lo que has vivido y experimentado durante la semana, y encuéntrate con Cristo que te ama!
