PARISH e-NEWS & UPDATES - November 15, 2020
LIVE THE LITURGY : Inspiration for the Week
God has entrusted his possessions to us. God’s possessions are not earthly, physical things like ours: a home, bank account, personal items, and so forth. God’s possessions are far greater and deeper. God’s greatest possession is His very Self and it is precisely this pearl of great price that He bestows freely upon us. What are we going to do with it? Nourishing the fruits of wisdom is of the first order in determining how we are going to use what God has given. Understanding that His gift has not been given purely for our self-benefit is another. Wisdom asks us to broaden our horizons to embrace all avenues of human life, including the needs of the poor, the marginalized, and the needy. Manifested primarily in the virtues of faith, hope, and love, what God has entrusted to us can multiply exponentially if we invest His gift wisely and reap the greatest benefits. While it requires a great deal of focus and persistent hard work, we will experience tremendous joy when we realize just how much confidence God has in us. Not acting on something out of fear or lack of trust serves no purpose and is of no use to either God or ourselves.

STEWARDSHIP & DEVELOPMENT
SUNDAY OFFERTORY

Our parish is very grateful for the many parishioners and friends of our parish who have continued and increased their generosity over the past few months. So many of you continue to turn in your envelopes to the office or have made gifts using ONLINE GIVING.

Your generosity has allowed the parish to continue paying our employees and maintain our facilities during this historic time. Thank you to all those who have made sacrifices to make this possible. 
 
If you are unable to make your weekly offertory gift online, please continue to mail or drop off your the envelopes at the parish office 366, Saint Julie Drive, San Jose, CA 95119.
Online Giving allows you to make donations and payments via your mobile phone, smart device or computer to our parish.
2nd collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)

CCHD is sponsored by the USCCB, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Nearly 1 in 6 in the U.S. live in poverty. CCHD offers a hand up, not a hand out. 25% of the CCHD collection stays within our community. 75% is pooled to support national grants. Last year, two of the grant programs operate locally. Support Catholic Social Teachings and stand in solidarity for human value, dignity, and justice. Donate to the 2020 CCHD campaign.
Enjoy, view and share this short video from the Diocesan CCHD committee.
