3 FAZtor s Notes By Fr. Arnold Zamora Just when we had proclaimed the resurrection of Christ and in the middle of our celebration of the glory and joy of Easter, some parishioners faced the reality of death, others struggling for dear life in the hospital or in their homes and still others dealing with their pain. We lost a dear parishioner this week. That s just the usual way of saying when someone dies, for we don t lose someone who is dear to us. Mrs. Cecilia O Brien was a dear parishioner. She was one of our candle cleaners and was so generous with her time and treasure to the church. She was the biggest contributor to our new sanctuary carpet, and gave generously to other projects, like the Church bathroom remodeling. When I learned about her passing away, I called and left a message with Sr. Karen, at Mercy Retirement & Care Center in Oakland. I said: I am sorry to hear about the death of Cecilia, but I am also happy that she is now with the Risen Lord. She is earth s loss, but heaven s gain. She lost earth, but she gained heaven. Gone is temporal life, she now enjoys eternal life. This Sunday of the Easter season is Divine Mercy Sunday. What a coincidence, Mrs. O Brien who herself was very merciful, resided at the Mercy Retirement Home for the past four years and was well taken care of by the Sisters of Mercy. As we thank Mrs. O Brien for her service and sharing her abundant blessings with Holy Name, we also thank the Sisters of Mercy and those who took good care of her. Continuing my words of gratitude, thank you to those whose mercy abounded this past Holy Week. Thank you to those who came to our Church House Cleaning, making sure the church was ready for Holy Week. Our school principal Mrs. Judy Cosmos, even came, kneeling and scrubbing the floor. She reminded me something that happened at the Lord s Last Supper as Jesus said: If I, your master and Lord, wash your feet, you should wash each others feet. In two words, humility and service. The church was beautiful, thanks to our Environment Committee. The Altar servers were great and the liturgies were orderly, thanks to Mr. Tri Nguyen, the week s MC and to Sr. Stella and Sr. Esther. Our sextons were on top of things; the music was heavenly with the choir singing in enchanted unity and highly improved vocal quality. Continued next column... FAZtor s Notes The Magnificent 7, who shared reflections on the Seven Last Words, were wonderful with their insightful and touching reflections. The School s reenactment of the Stations of the Cross was well rehearsed and performed, yet prayerful. Thanks to our youth group who hid the eggs for the Easter egg hunt. To the many unseen and unmentioned people, thank you so much. Now I can take my vacation. But I don t know if the word is in my vocabulary. What I have is vocation not vacation. I will still be working globally! Someone said that a dream vacation would be one where your family all gets along. I m glad my family gets along, but sometimes when I get back from vacation my credit cards are all in ICU. TODAY S SECOND COLLECTION THE CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL The Catholic Home Missions Appeal primarily supports dioceses in the United States and its territories that are unable to offer their basic pastoral ministries of word, worship, and service without outside help. The Appeal supports a wide range of pastoral services. It focuses principally on 1. evangelization activities, 2 religious education, 3 ministry training for priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers, and laypeople, and 4 support of poor parishes across the country. The grants we receive from the Catholic Home Missions Appeal help us ensure that the future of these parishes are in the hands of adequately prepared priests who can meet the needs of the residents here. While we have faced many challenges in recent years, this Appeal restores our hope that the future will be brighter and our parishioners will continue to be served. - Most Reverend Roger P.

CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE will be presented by Ms. Claire Sheehan, Pre-Planning Counselor at Duggan's Serra. While many of us plan for the possible, the potential misfortunes of life seldom actually happen. Yet, few of us prepare for the inevitable. Pre-planning services are a way to prepare for that time of need, without the pressure and anxiety associated with making decisions during a time of grief when we lose our loved ones. Find out more about pre-planning services as Ms. Sheehan discusses the process and answers your basic questions. This is a FREE presentation courtesy of the Fil- Am Club of Holy Name. Friends and family are welcome. Refreshments and a light meal will be served. ABOUT OUR COVER: Feast of Divine Mercy (2009) Pastel on Paper by Stephen B. Whatley Stephen B.
