of Helping Begins! Thursday, November 28, 10:00 a.m. Mass
This year our Christmas Food Drive will be just like last year. Such a great success!
Namely, we invite you to purchase a $50.00 Safeway Gift Card, write a nice Christmas Card (or have your children
compose a lovely Christmas letter), and then drop it into the
collection basket or into the Poor Box in the church. Please be sure to
only spend $50.00 on each card and please write the amount so we are sure it is $50.00. Each envelope will be taken to the centers in Marin City and The Hilarita, thus allowing the recipients to receive not only Christmas wishes from you, But also a Safeway $50.00 gift card so they can purchase what they need to a special Christmas Dinner! Thank you all
in advance for your generosity!

Congratulations, Archbishop José Horacio Gómez!
Sunday, November 17, 2019 Dear Parishioners, This past week, the Bishops of the United States met back east and discussed many topics of importance. They also elected the new President of the United State Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), a man who is the first immigrant and the first Latino to be elected to this position: the Archbishop of Los Angeles. Here is some information about the new President of the USCCB (courtesy of the L.A . archdiocesan website): For more than a decade, Archbishop Gómez has been a voice of compassion and reason on moral and spiritual issues in American public life and culture. He has played a leading role in the Catholic Church’s efforts to promote immigration reform and is author of the 2013 book, Immigration and the Next America: Renewing the Soul of Our Nation. Archbishop Gómez urges every Catholic, in all walks of life, to assume responsibility for the mission of the Catholic Church. He has worked to promote lay leadership, marriage and the family, and vocations to the priesthood. He has been instrumental in promoting the leadership of Hispanics and women in the Church and in American society, as a founding member of the Catholic Association of Latino Leaders (C.A.L.L.) and ENDOW (Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women). Archbishop Gómez is a native of Monterrey, México, and a naturalized American citizen. Prior to becoming Archbishop of Los Angeles, he served as Archbishop of San Antonio (2005–2010) and Auxiliary Bishop of Denver (2001–2005). He holds a doctorate degree in theology (S.T.D.), as well as undergraduate degrees in accounting, philosophy and theology. He speaks and writes often on issues in the Church and American society. Among his other books are: Men of Brave Heart: The Virtue of Courage in the Priestly Life (Our Sunday Visitor, 2009) and A Will to Live: Clear Answers on End of Life Issues (Basilica, 2008). • December 26, 1951 — Born in Monterrey, México, the son of Dr. José H. Gómez and Esperanza Velasco,
both deceased. He has three older sisters and one younger sister. • August 15, 1978 — Ordained a priest of the Opus Dei Prelature by the late Cardinal Franz König,
Archbishop Emeritus of Vienna (Austria), at the Shrine of Torreciudad, Spain. • 1975-1978 — Awarded undergraduate degrees in accounting, philosophy and theology. • 1980 — Awarded doctorate in theology (S.T.D.), University of Navarre, Spain. • 1987-2000 — Exercised priestly ministry at Our Lady of Grace Parish, Archdiocese of San Antonio, and
also at St. Bartholomew Parish in what was then the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. • March 26, 2001 — Ordained Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Denver, having been appointed
bishop by Pope St. John Paul II. As Auxiliary Bishop, served as Rector of the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception and then as Moderator of the Curia and pastor of Mother of God parish.
• February 15, 2005 — Installed Archbishop of San Antonio, appointed by Pope St. John Paul II. • April 6, 2010 — Appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Los Angeles by Pope Benedict XVI. • March 1, 2011 — Succeeded as Archbishop of Los Angeles. Archbishop Gómez’s Episcopal motto is: “Let us go forth with confidence to the throne of Grace,” adopted from the New Testament’s Letter to the Hebrews (4:16). This motto expresses his joyful hope and Christian faith that all men and women may find mercy and salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

If anyone has reason to believe, or might suspect, there is or has been abuse involving clergy, employees, volunteers, or children attending Catholic schools, parish religious education
programs, or other church-related events, those suspicions or allegations are to be reported first to civil authorities and then to the Archdiocese via its assigned Victim Assistance Coordinator,
Rocio Rodriguez, LMFT. Phone: (415) 614-5506 — Email: [email protected] https://sfarchdiocese.org/how-to-report-suspected-abuse

“The Eucharist: The Real Presence of Christ Jesus”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)
states, “the Eucharist is the source and the summit of the Christian Life” (CCC 1324). This sacrament embodies the real presence of Jesus Christ, the ultimate sacrifice of the Victim, and the Holy Communion of Jesus Christ with His Church.
Moreover, the Holy Communion is our way of being nourished spiritually by God through the virtue of charity, which binds the Church both in
vertical and horizontal dimensions, which subsequently connotes an ecclesial unity.
One of our seminarians, Rev. Mr. Ian Quito, was asked to explain the Sacrament of the Eucharist in a few words, and he said, “The heart of the eucharistic celebration is the moment when the Lord assembles His people as one community of love. In this sacred celebration, the Lord unites us and allows us to participate in the eucharistic sacrifice by receiving Jesus as the Bread of life - the Eucharist. Through the Holy Communion, we are entering into a deeper fellowship with Christ, who is truly present in the Sacred Host. To deepen this Holy Communion, we need to be open for Christ, see and hear Him as in a mutual exchange of friendship. We need to gaze at Him in a spirit of adoration as it is the personal aspect of Communion.” Hence, one of the avenues to reach our goal towards spiritual perfection is spending quality time with our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration.
We are so blessed here at St. Hilary Church that we have an Adoration Chapel that we can spend time with Jesus Christ to adore and glorify Him. Furthermore, every First Friday of the month, we have an Adoration, a Holy Hour, and Benediction after the 9 am Mass. This celebration is followed by a Eucharistic Procession and Reposition of the Holy Eucharist at the Adoration Chapel to commence the First Friday 24-hour adoration. In this regard, we are inviting all the parishioners of St. Hilary Church to join us in celebrating these remarkable devotional rites to adore and glorify our Lord Almighty Jesus Christ. Dominus Vobiscum.
The St. Hilary Tiger says:
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
Think about it…
