Library Notes
This week, the Library features more of our new acquisitions. The Parish Library is across from the elevator under the main stairs. It is open after the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Masses.
• The Pastoral Council is assessing the need to provide children day care during the Sunday 10 a.m. Mass. If you and your family would like us to provide day care, please let us know by sending an email to San Mai at san_mai@yahoo.com or calling 415-279-7174.
• Memorial Wall in the Parish Garden. Red bricks with names printed on them will be used to face the curved cinderblock wall in the garden, while paving bricks, with the same memorializing will be used to cover the gravel at the southwest corner of the garden. The names that
were gathered at the time of the reconstruction from the earthquake are scheduled to be included. If there is someone you would like to have memorialized on the church grounds, there is still room on the wall and on the garden path. Bricks may be purchased for $100 during
Coffee Hour and at the Parish Office. These can be either pavement stones or wall facing. Also available are pavement bricks (8X8) for $250.
