On Saturday, September 17th, at our 5:00 PM Mass, we will be celebrating three of our own parishioners and a parishioner of St. Stephen Church, who took their “First Promise” as Lay Canossians. The Lay Canossians, Tertiaries, is another branch who have as their Foundress, St. Magdalene of Canossa, the same Foundress of our Canossian Sisters at St. Brendan Church and Holy Name of Jesus Church.
The mission of the Lay Canossians is that of living the Canossian Spirituality, which they received as a gift, in the reality in which they live.
Let us congratulate the following new “Lay Canossians”:
LUCILLE KOVASH
MARILU ILLENBERGER
LOURDES SCHEERER
GENILIN WONG
We currently have an additional five more people who are in their “initial formation”. With these four new Lay Canossians , along with those of Holy Name of Jesus Parish, we have 30 to 35 active Lay Canossians in the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you or someone you know feels God is calling you to be “contemplative - in - action” you may contact Angela Testani, Lay Canossian Formator , at (415) 586-5754.
