🇺🇸🙏 Today, we remember. Today, we pray.

On this September 11th, St. Francis of Assisi Parish joins our nation in remembering the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, may we continue to choose faith over fear, unity over division, and peace over hatred. May God bless our first responders, our service members, our nation, and all those who work for peace throughout the world.

🕊️ Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

❤️🤍💙 We remember. We pray. We will never forget.

💙 LOOKING FOR A WAY TO SERVE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE? 💚

Sometimes helping our community starts with simply saying, “Where can I help?”

Our Social Justice Team connects people with ministries serving some of the most vulnerable members of our community—from food and housing assistance to immigration, education, mental health support, and our Showers Ministry.

You don’t have to do everything. ❤️ Find the ministry that speaks to your heart and serve in whatever capacity you can. Even a little time, compassion, and kindness can make a difference in someone’s day.

Everyone is welcome! Take a look at the flyer below and consider joining us in putting our faith into action. 🙏

💚 Service • Solidarity • Hope
Together, we can make a difference!

˗ˏˋ ✞ ˎˊ˗ RECAP: Youth & Young Adult Pilgrimage Night | Saturday, September 5, 2026 ˗ˏˋ ✞ ˎˊ˗

Our youth and young adult pilgrimage night welcomed individuals from as far as the Archdiocese of San Francisco in a night of Praise & Worship Adoration!

Preceding this holy hour was an optional Camino experience where our small, but mighty crew of 8 pilgrims walked all the way from St. John Vianney Catholic Parish (4600 Hyland Avenue) to our parish location!

Our night in the True Presence of our Lord concluded with Fr. Vincent Pineda leading us in some of the prayers needed to obtain an indulgence in this Jubilee Year of St. Francis.

Did your parish attend our event? Give them a shout out and tag them in the comments!

This event would not have been possible without the help of the following individuals:

Exposition: Fr. Victor Trinidad from St. John the Baptist Parish

Benediction: Fr. Ryan Mau from St. Catherine of Alexandria Parish

Praise & Worship Band Coordinator: Leslie Marie Legacion Campos

Camino Experience Leader: Jose Emanuel "Manny" Valenzuela Puentes

Event Coordinator: Therese Bao

Photography/Videography: Allison Espejo (pilgrim) & Therese Bao

In case you missed it:

Some of the most important work in the Church never makes headlines. It happens on camping trips, at pinewood derbies, and in years of patient mentoring. Bob Wedig of Queen of Apostles Parish sees it all as part of a single vocation: forming young people of character, grounded in faith, service, and respect for others.
