Coming soon…. WEDNESDAY….February 25th – ASH WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE
A particularly Catholic-Christian ritual, the placing of ashes on our foreheads in the rough shape of a cross, is scripturally inspired. It is meant to call to mind the references to Old Testament repentances of putting on ‘sackcloth and ashes’ as a way of externalizing our internal disposition. Our Simple Ash Services will commence at 4:00 a.m. for those who commute and need to get on the road. This will be followed by Services at 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m. and a Mass at 8:00 a.m. and then a final Simple Ash Service at 10:00 a.m. If anyone needs to receive ashes prior to 4:00 a.m. ….simply call Fr. Fred (389-9011) on Tuesday morning to arrange a meeting at the Church anytime after Midnight, February 25th.
The Employment Networking Group is hosting a networking meeting for those seeking new employment opportunities and parishioners that are looking for good talent to fill open positions. The mission of the group is to bring together parishioners that have open job positions with those that are looking for new employment opportunities. Our next meeting to be held on Sunday February 22nd will feature a presentation on writing your résumé and how to prepare for interviews. We will meet from 3:00 to 4:30 pm in the Church basement. If you are planning on attending this event please RSVP by Thursday February 19th by sending an email to networking@forums.belovedsons.org. Also, if your company has job openings that you would like to share with parishioners please attend our meeting. For questions about the Employment Networking group contact George Arambula at garambula@sbcglobal.net or 949-525-8282.
Have you provided us with a PHOTO for our FAMILY PICTURE WALL? This is the perfect time as we will be refreshing the framed photos…so, if you have a new picture you want used or simply want to get your smiling face added…NOW IS THE TIME! 3X5 pictures are fine, no names needed. Thanks!
Upon receiving our 2009 Pastoral Services Appeal Book many people have commented on the depth and quality of the photography. In case you were wondering, our parishioner, Mr. Gregg Heckler, is responsible for the photos in the book and he is indeed available for private events, weddings and assorted other functions where quality is desired.
