Presidents message for May 2022 Men's Club
|
At the May meeting, we will review what I hope will have been another worthy accomplishment for the Men’s Club – a very successful Vaqueros Dinner. When we started planning over 2 months ago, the reality looked slim. Significant restriction from the City and the Health department were becoming a challenge. Fortunately, in the Spring of ’22, the break we had anticipated opened, and the power of comradery and fellowship overcame.
|
Also, I hope I will be able to say that we had a great turn out as far as individuals who showed up to help. This is what Men’s Club is all about; meeting and working with your fellow parishioners. Thank you to all who put in many hours planning, and then implementing this event for the Mission 225 commemoration, as well as for the parish community.
|
Coming up, our next event (activity) will be cooking a hamburger for the 4th graders Mission Run/Walk. More information of this at the May meeting in the Church hall – 7:00 Tuesday, May 3rd.

Men’s Club May Spirituality Message
|
Dennis Dubro- VP Spirituality
|
Let us spend this time rejoicing in gratitude for a new Easter Season, the appearance of a diminution of the pandemic and for what is expected to be a successful Vaquero 225 BBQ in a slow return to normalcy after two years of suppression.
|
In keeping with my usual practice, please pray for our clergy at St. Joseph’s and a couple of seminarians. This month, pray for Eric Ruiz, Rodolfo Quinteros. And by my calculation Deacon Ramon Urbina is due for ordination soon.

Saturday May 14th at 9:30am: Mission San Jose’s Momentous Restoration
|
|
Talk about starting from scratch!! Destroyed in the earthquake of 1868, how did Mission San Jose’s altar pieces, statues, light fixtures, railings, and candlesticks come to be? What about the walls, carefully frescoed as they originally appeared in the 1830s? His Holiness Pope John Paul II knighted Sir Richard Joseph Menn for his lifetime of California Mission conservation and restoration. But what makes Mission San Jose his crowning achievement? Answer: Careful consideration of historical facts and the meticulous craftsmanship over nine years by Sir Richard and his assistant Huu Van Nguyen. Come hear this beautiful story as told by Dr. Ruben Mendoza, Professor of Archaeology at California State University at Monterey Bay. Do not miss this presentation.
