Every Sunday the children of our parish are given the opportunity to explore Sundays Gospel at their level of understanding. If your children enjoy this program, we ask that you give one hour a month to this special ministry. Many of our CLOW catechist are retiring and we thank them. Please contact Lisa Nakamura at 408 224-1770 x316 or lnakamura@dsj.org.
The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is an important vehicle for advancing in the spiritual life. Fr. Timothy Gallagher shows you the basic elements of the Liturgy of the Hours; how to incorporate them into your day; how praying the Divine Office will revitalize your prayer life; and how it will extend the graces you receive at Mass and help you to apply them throughout your entire day. As Fr. Gallagher opens your eyes to this spiritual treasury, you will find yourself among the many Catholics who pray the Hours daily and are blessed and changed by this holy practice. Paperback.
We have just started the season of Lent. A time for personal renewal. The word “Lent” means springtime! The 3 themes of Lent are Fasting, Prayer, and Almsgiving (Charity). As our JOY families continue their journey through the topic of Prayer, we focused last month on the prayer that Jesus gave us.
