Small Group Discussion: The Three Ordinary Voices of God

We’ll meet in person after the 9am Sunday Mass and on Google Meets at 6:30pm Tuesday, starting with the 2nd Sunday of Lent. Contact Fr. Ivan for the link.

Archdiocesan Annual Appeal
It’s that time again to support our SF Archdiocese through the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. Your support helps with the operating expenses for running an archdiocese. And when you donate in the name of Old St. Mary’s, you help us reach our required goal.
Lenten Reading:
The Three Ordinary
Voices of God
This Lent, Old St. Mary’s is making available Matthew Kelly’s “The Three Ordinary Voices of God.” It’s a beautiful book on how to better listen for God in our lives. Who we listen to has a big effect on who we are becoming. Who are you using as your guiding light? Come pick up the book at our parish. If you enjoy growing with others, join one of our Small Lenten Discussion Group.

Wanting to explore the Catholic Faith? Considering becoming Catholic or receiving sacraments
of Confirmation & Eucharist?
