The parish community of St. Joseph of Cupertino will welcome the Year of the Snake at its annual Chinese New Year mass on Sunday, February 24 at 11 A.M. This mass (in English) will blend Christian faith with elements of traditional Chinese culture, including a ceremony to honor the ancestors. A reception with food and entertainment will follow in the parish hall; all are invited to bring different ethnic foods to share. For more information, please contact Fr. Greg Kimm at [email protected] or 408-252-7653 x24.
Pope Benedict XVI's announcement this morning of his intent to resign the papacy was unexpected. Our prayers are with the Holy Father and with the College of Cardinals whose responsibility it will be to elect the Pope's successor. Relying on the Holy Spirit, we join our brothers and sisters around the world who will be praying to God during this unprecedented development in modern times.
