Mass for the Sick

The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, February 11, is coming up soon.  Pope John Paul II has designated this day as a day of prayer for those who are sick.  St. Brendan will have a special Anointing of the Sick after all our Saturday and Sunday masses on February 9 & 10.  It was Jesus who taught His disciples to pray and anoint the sick, so this is an extension of His ministry and care for the sick.  Please let your family and friends know, so that they can come and receive this Sacrament.  And if your sick family member or friend is unable to come to mass, please call the rectory at 415-681-4225, so that one of the priests can bring the Sacrament to them at a convenient time.

St. Vincent de Paul Lenten Drive

 

The following is taken from a letter from the Program Director of the SVDP Help Desk.

 “Our household program has doubled due to the fact that the VA has approved housing for many of our homeless Vets, and others who are also finally receiving housing after waiting on a list for years. We are in need of dishes, pots, pans, towels, linens, blankets, silverware and cooking utensils”.

 

We will be collecting the following items on the Sundays listed:

February 17: New twin and full size sheet sets

February 24: Silverware - fork, spoon and knife (table)

March 3: New bath towels

March 10: New pots, pans, skillets

March 17: New plates

March 24:  New drinking glasses

 We request NEW items only except for the silverware which can be in VERY GOOD condition.

 Thank you for your continued,generous support of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
