Dear Fellow Parishioners,This week’s Gospel continues the story of the calling of the first disciples. The songs for Mass are all very well known and you can find the words in this attachment.The first song I’m going to share with you today echoes the theme of this week’s psalm: ‘Teach Me to Do Your Will’ by Steve Ragsdale https://youtu.be/pGjO6PG2N-E

The next song, ‘Face to Face’ (Peter’s Song) sung by Michael O’Brien, takes us from Peter’s calling by Jesus all the way through Easter from Peter’s point of view. https://youtu.be/xznM-v8fkYI

In the Gospel this week, Jesus tells Simon Peter and Andrew that he will make them fishers of men and that inspired the rest of the songs I’m going to share with you. They all have that for the title, but boy are they different from each other!

‘Fishers of Men’ by Tim Malchak https://youtu.be/PVBUymrHXnc

‘Fishers of Men’ sung by Christian Edition is for those of you who enjoy choral music. https://youtu.be/Se8T9NPJHtU

‘Fishers of Men’ by Rhonda Vincent (country a cappella with great harmonies) https://youtu.be/T9RXHwYU2JY

And lastly, a very upbeat, foot-tapping ‘Fishers of Men’ by the Hoppers for those of you who enjoy country gospel music. https://youtu.be/h4_juWfAK3o

I hope they brighten your day during this gloomy, rainy weekend. God bless you all and keep you safe.

March for Life 2021

Jan 16 2021

Announcements, Events
MARCH FOR LIFE 2021

The San Diego Walk for Life car caravan has been postponed to Saturday, January 30th at 1:00 pm. See Bishop McElroy’s statement below…

“With deepest regret we must postpone the car caravan for the March for Life celebration until January 30th at 1:00 p.m. Given the violence in Pacific Beach last weekend, I spoke directly with the San Diego Police Department and asked if they could provide assurance that the caravan could proceed this Saturday without complicating efforts to maintain peace there in light of the political demonstrations planned in front of the County Administration Center for this Saturday.  The Police Department felt that it could not provide such an assurance, and thus out of concern for the caravan participants and a desire not to make the job of our police any harder in these troubling days, I feel we must postpone the event.

I am so grateful for the tremendous work that the planning committee has done in expanding our March for Life celebrations this year to include webinars, a concert, and three Masses throughout San Diego County, so that even amidst the pandemic we can witness powerfully to the moral and legal rights of unborn children and the suffering of pregnant women in our midst.”

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week we find ourselves back in Ordinary Time. The songs for this week’s Mass are familiar ones and their lyrics can be found in this attachment. The readings this week are about receiving and answering God’s call.

The first three songs are all based on this week’s psalm, but the treatments are all so different, I decided to share all three.

‘See, I have come, Lord, to do your will’ https://youtu.be/3cXnxH_NbI0
‘Here Am I, Lord’ Psalm 40 by Glen Shulfer https://youtu.be/fHNKl4fUTdg
‘Here I Am’ by Tony Alonso https://youtu.be/H-4C6kPnm5o

The next three are about answering God’s call.

‘The Voice of God Is Calling’ sung by Westwood Congregational Church  https://youtu.be/Vau6A17kjW0
‘Speak, O Lord’ by Keith and Kristyn Getty https://youtu.be/0zAIHIjyPgU
‘Answer the Call’ by Steve Green https://youtu.be/kEydWtYVp7o

And this last one is more in response to today’s world and the times we find ourselves in.

‘Earth to God’ by John Rich https://youtu.be/fvMQ_xStg9M

God bless you all with good health in mind, body and spirit.

Another Email Scam

Someone reported that they received an email from letuspray@sacredheartob.org claiming that there was a deposit made in his account. However, the deposit did not go through and to claim it click on ‘here’ to transfer the money into the account. Please do not click on this link. It is a scam.

Please be very aware of anything that doesn’t look right, too good to be true, or suspicious. Call the parish office if you have any questions.
