Special Messages from Father Ed
|
|
|
Next Sunday, March 19, Rose Sunday, there will be prayers and anointing for healing for anyone who comes forward when invited at the end of the announcements. You may briefly say what needs healing (not just physical needs) or be anointed silently. God knows what is needed.
After some discussion, we have decided to NOT have a St. Patrick’s Day supper. Our parish agenda is full of other activities which are being well supported. We will, however have some special prayers for St. Patrick’s Church and in remembrance of St. Patrick himself.
In Christ,
Ed+

|
The following parishioners are confirmed as attending:
Candace MacNair, Mary Fields, Fr. Ed and Terry, Eleanor Albon, Jackie Senter,

Room for three more.
Come on a journey to visit a gem of the Napa Valley; the Carmelite House of Prayer. It is a Monastery of the Discalced Carmelite (Catholic) Friar Community adhering to a life of prayer, community life, and ministry.
Situated on a rise above the Napa Valley, the property is surrounded by vineyards and boasts its own chapel adjacent to the original Doak mansion built in 1921. The landscape designer, John McLaren, created Golden Gate Park.
Our tour will include a visit to the chapel and viewing of the grounds as lead by Fr. Donnell.
Afterwards we will motor south to Napa and have a no-host lunch at Fume.
9:30: Gather at St. Patrick's front parking lot to car pool
10:30: Gather at the Monastery
10:35- Visit the Chapel
11:45 Tour the grounds (the grounds are mainly situated below the main
building and is a rather steep grade.)
12:15 Lunch at Fume
3:00: Arrive back at St. Patrick's
Please consider providing a $20 (cash) donation each, that we will gift to the Monastery. Recall that Monasteries are self-supporting.
Limited seating. Please contact Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey if interested.

There were 16 guests at the Nomadic Shelter on March 4. There were some guests we remembered from the last Shelter date and several newcomers. All of them were very grateful to be in a warm room out of the weather. They enjoyed a hearty macaroni, cheese, and sausage casserole with Ambrosia by Ron Keith along with some delicious cookies made by Merle Holtzen, Margaret Merchat and Betsy Randolph.
Several people helped set the tables and serve dinner: Dakota Borgfeldt, Sarah Phillips, Ron Keith, Karl Mutch, Jackie Senter, and Rich Randolph. All were ready and willing to greet our guests, serve dinner and clean up. A very adaptable group! Margaret Merchat and Betsy prepared the casserole. It was a great group of volunteers.
If you are interested in helping with the Nomadic Shelter, please contact Betsy Randolph at (408)981-2024. There are two more opportunities: April 1 is the next one and the last one until fall is April 29. Both are on Saturday. We sometimes prepare some of the food on the day before and on the day of the Shelter we need help anytime from 2 p.m. until 7:15. You can help with any part of that schedule.

Extraordinary Evening at St Patrick's Church
|
|
|
Note: The photos above- On the left the two men shown are an immigrants who migrated to America. And the woman standing next to them is the film maker, Lina Hoshino.
The photo on the right is of Laurie Boone Hogen speaking.
The event was very well attended, over 120, including two Afghan men whose family are resettling with support from St. John’s Episcopal in Petaluma.
Laurie’s article in the Press Democrat drew much of the audience. the JACL, Japanese American Citizens League sponsored the production of the three video histories of the Asian American women. Each presented a compassion inspiiring account of gracious coping with race and gender oriented discrimination.
The Education Committee plans on presenting films on Social Justice and Environmental Stewardship incorporating a theme of hope. Arrangements are underway to show My Octopus Teacher in the near future. Stay tuned! Talk to Laurie with your interests.
Thank you to all who attended!

Help for Those Dealing with
Grief and Loss
|
|
|
|
Coping with the loss of a loved one is probably the most difficult challenge any of us may face. If you are struggling with grief and loss, there is help.
You are invited to join the weekly Oakmont Grief Support Group which meets Tuesday mornings from 9:00-10:15 a.m. at 6637 Oakmont Drive, Suite B.
This is an open-ended, drop-in group, led by a local hospice bereavement counselor, Rev. Larry Hallett, known to our St. Patrick’s community.
Come and share with others who are going through similar loss. You are not alone in this journey! Find strength in community!
For more information, please call (310) 415-6133 or email Larry.Hallett@gmail.com
