9:00 A.M.-3:00
P.M. and Sunday, September 13th, from 8:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M. in the
parish center. All those who will be
signing-up their student(s) to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation
(Confession), First Eucharist (Communion) or Confirmation must bring an original or a copy of their child’s BAPTISMAL
certificate. It’s always good practice to bring the original or a copy, even
if you think you may have given it to us already, as no student will be
registered for their Sacraments if we do not have one on record.
No exceptions will be made. We
will not keep your original, however, we will keep all copies given. Please remember: If you
are registering someone else’s student(s) for CM Classes (i.e., niece, nephew,
grandchild, friend), you MUST have written permission from
the parent along with a COMPLETED Emergency Form/Family Agreement Form for
each student. In this particular
case, no student will be registered without permission or completed forms. [For
your convenience, you may print the form from our Website,
http://www.parish.stvictor.org/catechism.html
. Please scroll down to CM handbook and open it.
The “Emergency Form” and “Family Agreement Form” are near the end
of the handbook. Print as many as
needed for the amount of students you have. ] A NOTE TO ALL REGISTERING
FAMILIES: All emergency forms MUST be complete, as this is now considered a
“Diocesan” registration form. Please
do NOT leave any blanks. Bring all
your information (doctor numbers, dentist numbers, current emergency contact
info) with you. PLEASE NOTE: The new U.n.I. Lord (teens and young adults) email address is: [email protected] . SAVE THE DATES – 8th GRADE WASHINGTON D.C. FUND-RAISERS Come join us for a friendly

YOUR HELP IS REQUESTED.
Marie Yeap, a high school student and alumni from St. Victor’s, will
participate this summer in a weeklong immersion experience here in San Jose.
She is asking for donations of bags of rice and beans and school
backpacks (new or gently used) and supplies, which will be distributed by
Catholic Charities to newly arrived immigrants.
The donations of rice and beans may be dropped off in the box in the
vestibule labeled, Help Marie Donate Rice and Beans.
School backpacks and supplies may be taken to the Rectory Office. Juan Diego Society representatives will be speaking to us for a few minutes at each Mass next weekend, July 11th & 12th. They will also have materials regarding their services and needs available for you to take home after Mass. Feel free to stop by and ask any questions that may have. PRAYER FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE.
Lord, our God, when we
call to You, You always answer. We place our hopes and fears in You, knowing
that You are always present, we are not afraid. Protect us from the hatred of
others, and keep us safe from the weapons of terrorism. Do not allow us to be
misled by fear. You desire justice for everyone; enable us to uphold the rights
of all. Give us wisdom to know Your will and make it our own. Hear our prayers
for our men and women in the armed forces, our leaders and our allies. Guide
them with the Spirit of hope and justice as they strive for enduring freedom.
Enfold them and their loved ones in Your gentle care. Help all of us, even in
small ways, to work for justice that will bring true harmony and peace. Amen. “A
prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin
and in his own house.”
