From Father Lawrence, Walk for Life West Coast on Saturday January 25th

Last year (it seems odd to say that already) St. Raymond began a Respect for Life group. We have about 35 parishioners in this group right now. What are the expectations of membership? First of all, prayer: prayer that all human life will be cherished and protected from conception to natural death. Second, and this is optional, social action: social action to call attention to the injustice of abortion and euthanasia. That’s it. Anyone can join this group and all are encouraged to. To sign on just come to the office and let us know. You will get periodic emails with information, actions and activities from a Respect for Life perspective. This Saturday is the West Coast Walk for Life in San Francisco. The pre-walk presentations begin in Civic Center Plaza at 12:30pm with the walk down Market Street beginning an hour later. Last year more than 50,000 people were estimated to have participated in the walk. I have been going to the walk for several years and I am always impressed by the number of young people there. I would say that about half of the walkers are under 25 years of age. It is amazing to see all the young support for this cause. These youth have grown up under the shadow of abortion. They know that their numbers have been greatly reduced by abortion. They want a different world for themselves and they are enthusiastic about it! Shannon Collyer, our youth minister, is passionately helping our young people understand the beauty of human sexuality and its place in God’s plan. She is organizing a bus for the young people of our parish and their parents to attend the Walk for Life. We hope that many of our young people will experience this amazing event and grow in their desire to make our country safe again for all unborn children.

In Christ,

Fr. Lawrence D’Anjou

From Our Principal At this month's Coffee With Catherine, I discussed the religious program at St. Raymond School. I explained how our faith formation has the highest priority for both the school and parents. Helping each child become disciples and form a life-long love of the Lord and being knowledgeable about the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church is critical. I especially feel the middle school years are a time of reflection with retreats and opportunities throughout the school day to form a strong moral conscience. I hope the adults, teachers, staff and parents model the Christ-like virtues we want the children to learn.

El profeta Isaías nos cuenta del siervo de Dios que será “luz para las naciones”. No será suficiente para elSiervo reunir a los israelitas sobrevivientes del exilio y elcautiverio. La salvación de Dios deberá alcanzar hasta losconfines del mundo.

San Pablo escribe a una de las iglesias locales en Corinto compuesta en su mayoría de gentiles y presuntamente antiguos pecadores. Los saluda y les diceque deberán tomar su puesto entre todos aquellos que por todas partes invocan el nombre de Cristo Jesús.

Doors open at 5:30pm both evenings and we will begin serving at 7:00pm.

La lectura del Evangelio de san Juan nos cuenta como Jesús fue designado por el Padre mediante el Espíritu Santo para traer la salvación a todos y quitar el pecado del mundo. El Elegido ha venido a bautizar al mundo con el Espíritu de Dios. A todos.
