Building Community by…. BUILDING!

 

Join us for a holiday service activity with Habitat for Humanity.  The project is an affordable housing condominium development that will enable 36 hardworking families to realize their dream of homeownership.   YOU CAN HELP!  Join us on Saturday, December 22, 8:30 am – 4:15 pm, at 7555 Mission Street in Daly City for a day of work and fellowship. No special skills or experience are required – just the willingness to get your hands (and maybe your clothes) dirty.  SPACE IS LIMITED, and open to all parishioners ages 16 and above. Please call or e-mail Sr. Sharon to reserve your space! (srsharon@stbrendanparish.org)

 

 St. Brendan is on Facebook!

Check out – and like – our Facebook page! 

You can also “check in” with your smart phone – let people know that you practice your faith at St. Brendan Parish!  Look up “St. Brendan Church” and you will see a picture of our parish.  A great way to stay in touch!

Advent Giving Tree

St. Vincent de Paul Advent Giving Tree

 

This year’s Giving Tree will be decorated on December 1st.

 

We invite all our parishioners to visit the Advent Giving Tree . Ornaments can be taken beginning the weekend of December 1st. Because Christmas falls on a Tuesday this year, gifts will need to be returned the weekend of  December 15th and 16th.

 Please remember to attach the ornament  to your gift so that they can be distributed properly. This year’s recipients will include the Multi-Service Center Shelter, Laguna Honda Hospital, The SVDP Wellness Center, San Francisco Adult Day Support (a Catholic Charities Program for Seniors with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s),  and Mt. St. Joseph’s/St. Elizabeth’s (young mothers and their babies).

Your gifts are always well-received and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued, generous support of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

We want to pick your brain!!

 

St. Brendan Parish is forming several ad hoc planning committees for some strategic brainstorming.  If you have some interest, knowledge and/or experience in:

                    Marketing

                    Communication

                    Social Media

                    Social Work

                    Non-Profit organizations

                   Training

 

                                                           We want your input!

 

The initial commitment would be for just a couple of sessions. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the life of the Parish without making a long term commitment!

 

Please contact Sr. Sharon Brannen, srsharon@stbrendanparish.org
