The Cursillo Community was truly blessed by the presence and leadership of Fr. Matt as the spiritual advisor for the Spring Cursillo retreat. His joyful spirit, humor, deep faith, and thoughtful guidance helped create a meaningful and transformative experience for all who attended and worked the weekend.
Bishop Oscar Cantú invites the people of the Diocese of San José to begin a two-year liturgical renewal, Renewed at the Table of the Lord, aimed at helping Catholics rediscover the beauty and meaning of the Mass. He reflects on how easy it is, even for priests, to go through the motions and miss the wonder of what is truly happening at the altar: Christ’s saving mystery made present here and now. Beginning this spring with the Introductory Rites, the renewal will guide parishes through each part of the Mass with reflections and practical resources so that the faithful can participate more prayerfully and attentively.
This month, the Pope’s prayer intention is for priests in crisis. The life of a priest is often filled with joy, but priests can also experience high levels of stress, loneliness, and depression due to heavy workloads, isolation, and high expectations.
Hello! My name is JJ, and I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful parish community. I was born and raised in the Diocese of San Jose, so being back here feels a bit like coming home. I attended Oregon State University, where I competed in track and field and cross country. During my time there, I found my place at the Newman Center and made lifelong friends. After college, I served as a missionary for the Newman Center, and it was one of the best years of my life.
