Question of the Week
Gospel Reading Mark 1:21—28
Jesus begins his public ministry in Capernaum, a town close to his hometown of Nazareth. He begins by teaching about God with authority that is shocking for an unschooled child of common laborers. He confirms the authority of his words by healing and driving out demons. These things command the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Who is this?
Question: Who is this? What does he want with me?

happy Feast Day Bl. Maria Fortunata Vito.
Patron Saint against poverty, temptations, loss of parents, and mental illness.
Blessed Maria Fortunata Viti (1827–1922) was born in Italy, the eldest daughter of nine children. Her father had a gambling and alcohol addiction, and her mother died when she was 14 years old. Maria then cared for her younger siblings and worked as a housekeeper to earn money for the family as her father sunk deeper into his addiction. Maria rejected an offer for marriage, deciding instead to become a Benedictine nun at the age of 24. Sr. Maria Fortunata, illiterate her entire life, spent more than seventy years in the monastery as a housekeeper attending to the washing, sewing, and other simple tasks, which was her path to holiness. She was admired for her great simplicity of heart, and her confessor testified that she was often accosted by the devil with threats, physical attacks, and vile insults in attempts to break her virtue. She had great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and made frequent visits to the chapel tabernacle as she carried out her daily tasks. She died at the age of 95, and after her death miracles were reported at her grave. She is a patron saint against poverty, temptations, loss of parents, and mental illness. Her feast day is November 20th.

🌟 Big news from the Vatican today!
Pope Francis has announced the upcoming canonizations of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, two incredible young Catholics whose lives have inspired countless people—including me—to live boldly for Christ. 🙏✨
Blessed Carlo, the “millennial saint,” will be canonized during the Jubilee of Teenagers in April 2025, and Blessed Pier Giorgio, known as the “Man of the Beatitudes,” will be canonized during the Jubilee of Youth in July 2025. These moments will be powerful reminders of how God calls each of us to holiness, no matter our age or stage in life.
Mark your calendars—and let’s take their example to heart. What’s one way you can live out your faith like Carlo and Pier Giorgio today? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

And ugh the lady the cape cod author ✍️ wrote about Doris day? What’s the deal women backed up at the Vatican because they earn less rehab men$?
I would like the San Diego divorces to address the movie here produced by Tom hanks, why women cannot be deaconesses again and for each church like saint Patrick’s does in its weekly bulletin to expose income and expenditures of $. I gave current from USA Mexico and guatamala this 2024 and have no idea what it paid for obviously not a nun housing in nado or an underground parking garage for 2059 nor solar panels but maybe for donuts peole didn’t pay for and took one bite of to be social and polite then trashed . The competitor graham memorial prespetetian serves donot holes to have no waste and has wowm deaconesses and a thrift shop selling stuff to have no bankruptcy lie the churches sacred ❤️ gives stuff to on the other side of the bridge and the border. I don’t mean to be a buzz kill it is just $ talks bs walks and i don’t bet or even invest in stock but I gather these men had more $ to apply to their saint hood then Doris day or mother Theresa and the cerican needs to look at 3 women saints at the same time to avoid an aclu lawsuit and defending as not a non profit but a for male profit entity thst in 2025 will be required to pay property land taxes and income taxes and all workers be livescanned and fairly hired not by word of mouth . Seriously the amount of corruption of hiring peole retired retired means you r in a comma and cannot work at all . Nobody writes in California as it is sooooo expensive. I am done thank u
The San Diego diocese not divorce typo. That is another crock of ?$&@ the whole annulment thing has to be under attorney general review as bs to keep $ away from women. Dug before bay marriage get a great Jewish lawyer to write ✍️ a pre nup the broad or the bloak is not marrying for GI benefits
Registration is open for this beautiful Advent Evening. Registration forms can be found in your Friday Flocknote, on our website or in the Ministry Center Office.

Nice photos of kind, familiar faces. I am up in Carlsbad. Some Calvary church tempted me to go and I said, “no I am Catholic as the priest do not marry so the $money stays within the church (to do service internationally) but god bless you all. I then ran along a non polluted kings tide beach, prayed thanks to Jesus until a family with Denver tshirts say right next to me with a kid shoveling sand all over the place and the daughter refused to take off her scooter 🛴 helmet with the mom nagging her so I relocated to a bench for push ups dips and some more prayer in gratitude for clean air in Carlsbad near Camp Pendleton. I will pray at saint Patrick’s when flu season is over and hope sacred ❤️books more baptisms than funerals 2025. Amen
Our parishioners are beyond generous...
God makes his presence known to us through people, nature and the ordinary day to day experiences. Where do you find God?
Find God in all things! Today is the feast of St Stanislas Kostka SJ.
I find a heaven in the midst of saucepans and brooms.

Happy Feast Day -St. Frances Xavier Cabrini!
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini was a
missionary from Italy. She was born on July
15, 1850 into a big family—the youngest of
thirteen children. She spent most of her life
caring for young children in orphanages,
schools, and hospitals. She went to the pope
asking for permission to travel to China with
her other religious sisters, but he sent her to
the United States instead. In America she
founded orphanages, schools, hospitals, and
organized catechism classes in areas where
there were large populations of Italian
immigrants. She died at the age of 67 and in
her lifetime she founded 67 institutions to
serve the sick and poor. She became the first
United States citizen to become a saint.

Saints in the making!
Have you felt that your relationship with church—or with God—has become more transactional recently? Or do you feel burnt out and tired whenever you hear about another opportunity to serve?
Whatever your giving might look like, God is fully pleased with whatever you humbly offer in worship of Him. By giving, we gain. And by serving, we start to experience the community, contentment, and satisfaction God intended.
Keep learning about the gift of service we are blessed to be a part of with this free short devotional reading from the Discovery Series!
