Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo A Franciscan Mission Founded February 20, 1720 * Established as a Parish September 23, 1932. Fr. Jose A. Tony Posadas, O. F. M., Pastor Deacons: Santiago Rodriguez and Frank Chip Perry OF ONE HEART AND MIND Reading about the faith of the early Christian believers can be a real inspiration to those of us who have been Christians for a long time, as well as for those who are newly baptized. Can you imagine people of this world being of one heart and mind as was the first community of believers? Today s First Letter of John seems to hold the key to how this can be accomplished. Keeping God s commandments and loving all of God s children seems to be the start of being of one heart and mind. We live in a world that stresses differences differences among religions, among races, between genders, and among economic classes. Today we are summoned to focus on what we all share in common on this fragile planet of ours. Copyright J. S.
