January 15, 2023: Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Happy Second Sunday in Ordinary Time! Green is back and we begin another season of Ordinary Time giving glory and praise to God. First, I would ask that you pray for Bishop Cantú and the pilgrimage group from our diocese as they visit the Philippines and Vietnam recognizing the shared commitment to proclaiming the Gospel message to all people.
Second, we pray with and invite you to participate in witnessing to the dignity of life as we travel to San Francisco next Saturday January 21st for the West Coast Walk for Life. You can sign up to ride with our fellow parishioners on the bus sponsored by the Knights of Columbus or drive up and meet us there. It is important we, as people of faith and hope, continue to proclaim the dignity and preciousness of all life from conception to natural death.
Third, please see our bulletin for more information about our Parish School and the Open House on January 29th. Please spread the good news of Catholic Education to your friends and neighbors and invite them to come and talk with us about how they can join us as members of our St. Lawrence Elementary and Middle School Community...

¡Feliz Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario! Regresamos al color verde y comenzamos el Tiempo Ordinario dando gloria y alabanza a Dios. Primero quiero pedirles su oración por nuestro Obispo Cantú y el grupo de peregrinos de la diócesis que se encuentran visitando las Islas Filipinas y Vietnam reconociendo el compromiso compartido de proclamar el mensaje del Evangelio a todas las personas.
En segundo lugar, Oramos y los invitamos a participar el próximo sábado 21 de enero en la Caminata de la Costa Oeste en San Francisco , dando testimonio de la dignidad de la vida. Puede inscribirse para viajar con nuestros compañeros feligreses en el autobús patrocinado por los Caballeros de Colón, o manejar y reunirse con nosotros allá. Es importante que nosotros, como personas de fe y esperanza, sigamos proclamando la dignidad y el valor de toda vida desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural.
Tercero, vea el boletín para obtener más información sobre nuestra Escuela Parroquial y la Casa Abierta el 29 de enero.
