Stained Glass

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity - June 6-7, 2009

We have peace with GOD through our Lord, JESUS CHRIST. God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the HOLY SPIRIT, which has been given to us. (Romans 5:1,5) Today the Church honors the Supreme Majesty of One God in Three Divine Persons. Our intellect is too limited to comprehend the inner essence and life of the Infinite God. Our contemplation of this mystery is an occasion for humble adoration and a petition for an increase of faith. Each time we make the Sign of the Cross, we affirm our belief in this mystery of our faith. How privileged we are to be invited into this love of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit for us.

SECOND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND FOR ST. VICTOR’S DEVELOPMENT FUND

Today’s second collection is for St. Victor’s Development Fund. This fund assists with the never-ending repairs and projects on the parish grounds. Thank you for your generosity.

PLANNED GIVING NOTES

Life Insurance Gifts

It is easy to turn an old life insurance policy into a nice gift to St. Victor’s Parish, and a possible tax deduction. Simply transfer it to, “The Roman Catholic Bishop, a California Corporate Sole, for the benefit of St. Victor’s Parish.” It is even easier to add the Parish as a beneficiary to a policy. Because you can always change this, there is no tax deduction for including the Church as a beneficiary.

If you want to know more about this the Diocese can provide free assistance. Call Robert Serventi @ 983-0168 or write to him at: Diocese of San Jose, The Chancery, 1150 N. First St., Suite 100, San Jose, CA 95112-4966.
