1. As we announced last week, our second collection this weekend will be taken to support seminarians studying for the Diocese of Oakland. If you are planning to donate a check, kindly make it payable to Our Lady of Good Counsel and notate “Seminary Collection” on the memo line. We thank you in advance for your generous support.

2. This Sunday, January 16th, we will have Fiesta Celebration dedicated to Santo Niño. Special prayers will begin at 2:30pm followed by indoor Mass at 3:00PM. Immediately after Mass, there will be a procession with the statue of Santo Niño outside the church. Sharing the brown bags with some food will conclude our celebration.

3. Due to surging cases of Omicron Covid Variant, our CCD First Communion and Confirmation classes are conducted via Zoom until further notice. We ask students and their parents to keep checking their e-mails from the CCD teachers inviting them to class over the Zoom.

4. According to the Pew Research Center studies, 70% U.S. Catholics believe that the bread and wine at Mass remain only a “symbol” of the Body and Blood of Jesus even after Consecration. Holy Eucharist is a great mystery of God’s love and mercy. What really matters is NOT WHAT we receive, but WHO we receive – Jesus Himself, the fullness of His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.

Last Thursday, we received more than a hundred big posters printed out of the 150 plus Eucharistic miracles recorded around the world. Looking at these pictures is like witnessing the miracles unfolding before our eyes. It helps to build up our faith and experience Jesus’ love which knows no measure and is beyond understanding. Please take advantage and go to the parish hall after Mass to see this exhibit at no cost. Also, please tell your family members and friends so they can come and see it. The “Traveling Tabernacle” exhibit will be open in our parish hall every day until Wednesday, January 19th. Your heart will be moved and your faith will be strengthened.

Thank you for being God’s extended hands to our Parish and to our Diocese.
