Saint Nicholas and Saint William parish

This month, Care for Creation, a San Jose Diocesan ministry of the Life, Justice and Peace Office, launched a monthly newsletter on Laudato Si' in Action! The hope is to share monthly events/ stories from different parishes on what they are doing, so all can be inspired and learn from each other! Please take a look at the newsletter.

You are invited to the 6th season of Spiritual Companions. Please join us on Saturdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in St Nicholas Hall, from May 16th through August 8th, 2026. We will be reading and reflecting on The Interior Castle by St Teresa of Avila.

Beginning this Monday, May 11th, and continuing through Friday, May 15th, the priests of the Diocese of San José, including Fr. Matt, Fr. Michael, and Fr. Greg, will spend some time at San Juan Bautista for the annual week of study with Bishop Cantú—a time of ongoing formation. Please keep all of us in your prayers. We are grateful to all of the visiting priests who will celebrate our 8:00 am & 12:10 pm Masses in their absence. We are very grateful for their service.

Remember your beloved mother, grandmother, or any special woman, living or deceased, with a Spiritual Bouquet of Mass Intentions this Mother's Day. All Mass Intentions for Sunday, May 10, will be for mothers and significant women who have touched our lives.

Your gift to the Diocesan Priest Retirement Appeal provides vital funding for medications, nursing care, and more to these priests who have been good shepherds and have kept their promises to the faithful of the Diocese.

Fr. Larry Percell was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. After much prayer, discernment, and consultation with his care team and family, he has chosen not to pursue aggressive treatment. He is very much at peace and is grateful to God for the richness of his life as a husband, father, and priest. Please keep him and your family in prayer as he continues his journey of faith and discipleship.
