Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This Sunday’s music lyrics can be found in this attachment. I think you’ll recognize all these songs, so sing along!

The Gospel this week is about the Parable of the Sower and I found some great songs on that topic, so I’m going to share some with you, including two to share with kids.

The first one is “Song of the Parable of the Sower” by John Hayles. https://youtu.be/-2bVgSWb7mA

These are the two to share with kids (but grownups, don’t be afraid to check them out! They’re cute and upbeat.)

“Seed Sower” https://youtu.be/8PB9XVEKTEI

This Saturday our confirmation class got confirmed, so in their honor I’m including a song called “The Call” by Tom Franzak. Congratulations to all our confirmants! https://youtu.be/uppefcff1yg

God bless you all and keep you safe,

Janis Cantú

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy 4th of July weekend!

Usually we would sing America the Beautiful or Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory at the end of Mass for a patriotic holiday like this, but since that is when the congregation is receiving communion, it just didn’t seem appropriate. Not to mention that the congregation isn’t supposed to sing! So for all of you, I’m including a link for a “Patriotic Medley” sung by Gentri. https://youtu.be/v-27hj4z5u0

The lyrics for this week’s mass can be found in this attachment. I think they are songs you will recognize, although the one during preparation is not as well known. You can listen to it at this link:

The other two songs that I’ve chosen to share this week are:

“Hymn of Praise” performed by the Gaither Vocal Band
https://youtu.be/kivDxsLYLPs and

“You Raise Me Up” sung by Celtic Woman
https://youtu.be/Yfwlj0gba_k

Enjoy the music and your July 4th celebration!

God bless you and keep you safe,

Janis Cantú

Also, a link to the article in Point Loma-OB Monthly about the safe re-opening of Sacred Heart Church. A small portion of our 15 minutes of fame! Scroll down to the end.

The procedure has been held off for two weeks. The doctors feel Fr. Tom’s heart is not strong enough for surgery at this time. They want to give it two weeks to strengthen his heart with medications.

Then they will review how things look then. And the journey continues…..

His heart cannot function at only 30% for very long. However, he is in good spirits.

Please continue to pray for him.

In this episode, Pat looks at this Sunday’s readings and the Christian call to humility and death to self so that we may rise with Christ.

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

I hope those of you still watching from home are all doing well and staying healthy. The lyrics for this week’s songs can be found in this attachment. All of them are songs that the choirs have sung at the Sunday morning Masses and can be found on YouTube if you’re not familiar with them.

I have two songs to share this week. One of them was brought to mind by something Fr. Tom always tells me when we talk about how he’s doing: It’s all in God’s hands. That song is “My Life Is In Your Hands” by Kathy Troccoli https://youtu.be/h0a–mGCbzM

“Down to the River to Pray” by a virtual choir with several members from here in San Diego. https://youtu.be/BumCkswUUDA

I hope you enjoy them both. Stay well and God bless,

Janis Cantú

Dear Parishioners,

Fr. Tom has been experiencing a high fast heart rate and is still not feeling as good as the doctor has expected at this time. He had a doctor’s appointment this morning. The doctor told him that his heart is working at 30%, which is less than before his surgery!

Fr. Tom’s heart is in failure at the moment, although he is feeling fine. If he does not take care of this, it will soon catch up with him and he will have more problems.

He will be back in the hospital on Monday or Tuesday and hopefully they will correct what is wrong.

Please continue to pray for Fr. Tom as he goes through this procedure once again. In addition, pray for his team of doctors and nurses that they find and fix the problem once and for all.

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy Father’s Day to all of you fathers! I hope you all have a fantastic day! As always, I’m providing the lyrics for this week’s songs in this attachment.

In honor of our parish’s feast day, one of my music shares this week is
“Sacred Heart Song” by Michael John Poirier https://youtu.be/eVgxIJHfeGc

The other two songs have a Father’s Day theme:

“The Lord’s Prayer” sung by Andrea Bocelli
https://youtu.be/aEplqV0scyo

and “Our Father” by Don Moen
https://youtu.be/3pe0XrCKjqM

I hope you enjoy them all!

God bless you and keep you safe and well,

Janis Cantú
