Este libro será puesto en la capilla de la Crucifixión de la Catedral. El libro estará disponible desde el Día de todos los Santos hasta el Día de Acción de Gracias. Por favor tomen unos minutos para escribir los nombres de sus seres queridos que han fallecido en este libro especial de recuerdo durante el mes de Noviembre. Archdiocese of S.F. Media Release: ALLELUIA! HISTORIC BELL STOLEN FROM ST. MARY S CATHEDRAL FOUND IN SALVAGE YARD (October 26, 2011) SAN FRANCISCO - Police informed staff at the Chancery Offices of the Archdiocese of San Francisco that they had found the 5,300 pound, historic bell that had been stolen last Sunday from the grounds of St. Mary s Cathedral. The Inspector in charge of the case said that an informant reported the bell to be at 9th and Pine in West Oakland near a salvage yard and the Port of Oakland. The police said the bell is dirty and covered with dirty canvas tarps, but it is intact. Inspector Brian Danker, of the SFPD said that the bell could have been very close to being broken down for its metal value. Inspector Danker is credited also for the recovery of a rare $23,000 violin stolen from the Conservatory of Music in San Francisco earlier this year. There are currently no suspects. This is wonderful news, a mini-miracle of sorts, for the parishioners of the Cathedral and all Catholics in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, said George Wesolek, Director of Communications. The wide press coverage of the theft helped make it harder to get away with this. Our thanks to the public for their proactive response, the press and especially the effective work of the San Francisco Police Department. Now we need to find a way to bring the bell back to its place at the Cathedral. WE REMEMBER IN PRAYER THOSE WHO ARE SICK Mary Martins, Kathleen Fox, Abelardo Alberto, Joseph Sipley, Juanita Medrano, Theresa Archuleta, Joann Nistas, Tuty Lockhart, Walter Eipp, Christine Gawley, Most Rev. Archbishop George Niederauer WE REMEMBER OUR BELOVED DEAD Tai Liu and Donald Stay If you or someone in your family is sick or homebound, please call Sr. Esther at Ext. 218 to arrange a visit from the Parish Staff.
