What Does It Really Mean to “Love My Neighbor”? Most of us have heard many times the Scripture in which Christ commands us to “love thy neighbor as thyself”. (Mark 12:31) What does this mean to us as individuals, and more importantly, as Church? Visit Annunciation’s new website at www.AnnunciationStockton.org. From the Home page, click on “Parish News”, then on the “10-26-2014 Transcript” under the heading “Homilies”, and read the excellent homily given by Deacon Mike Wofford on what it means to us, as Church, to truly love our neighbor.

NOVEMBER A Month of Remembrance

NOVIEMBRE Un Mes para Recordar

Every year in November we remember in a special way all those who have gone before us in faith. Throughout the month of November, we will have a shrine in the cathedral decorated with pictures of our loved ones, as well as a Remembrance Book to enter names of deceased friends and relatives for whom you wish the parish to pray. If you have any pictures you wish to include, please bring them to the Parish House. Color or black and white copies work best, as we will put adhesive on the back and original photos could get damaged. If you have any questions, call Lucy Hamer at 463-1305.

Cada año en Noviembre recordamos de una manera especial a todos aquellos que han partido antes que nosotros. A lo largo del mes de Noviembre, tendremos un santuario en la Catedral decorado con fotografias de nuestros seres queridos, asi como un libro del recuerdo para escribir los nombres de los amigos y parientes fallecidos por los cuales usted desea que la parroquia ore. Si usted tiene alguna fotografia que desee incluir, por favor tráigala a la Casa Parroquial.

GOT CANDY? Do you have an abundance of Halloween candy and don’t know what to do with it? Here is a suggestion: Donate it to the Simbang Gabi/Posadas Multicultural Advent celebration held in December. You may drop the candy off at the Parish House. Thank you!

TIENE DULCES? Usted tiene dulces de Halloween en abundancia y no sabe que hacer con ellos? Tengo una sugerencia: Donelos a la celabración Multicultural de Adviento (Simban Gabi/Posadas) que se celebrara en DicieMbre. Usted Puede dejar los dulces en la Casa Parroguial. Gracias!

From “ALWAYS OUR CHILDREN”, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1997:

Seek help for yourself, perhaps in the form of counseling or spiritual direction, as you strive for understanding, acceptance, and inner peace. Also, consider joining a parents' support group or participating in a retreat designed for Catholic parents of homosexual children. Other people have traveled the same road as you but may have journeyed even further. They can share effective ways of handling delicate family situations such as how to tell family members and friends about your child, how to explain homosexuality to younger children, and how to relate to your son or daughter's friends in a Christian way. All Are Welcome is a new ministry at Cathedral of the Annunciation for parents and family members of LGBT persons who wish to share their experiences, concerns and questions in a confidential and caring environment. Our ministry team is made up of parents and family members of LGBT persons, as well as clergy. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month, and ALL ARE WELCOME! If you would like to attend one of our meetings, or just learn more about our ministry, send an email to [email protected], or call (209) 4037813.
