of our Lord and King? Give your life to Jesus and others are sure to hear, “Amen, I say to you, today
you will be with me in Paradise.” If you think God is calling you to be a priest, religious, or deacon; talk to your pastor & contact Rev. Ommar Solis,
Vocation Director Diocese of Monterey at 831-373-4345 or email MRYVocations @gmail.com

Children’s Liturgy of the Word
During the four Sundays of Advent, elementary school age children are invited to join us for Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 9:00am Mass. Fr. Roy will invite the children to the front of the sanctuary for dismissal after the opening prayer. The children will be led to the old parish hall by our catechists to gather as a community and listen to the Word of God in a format they can understand. This is an opportunity for them to learn, grow, and share their knowledge of God's Word. Children will be returned to their families after the homily. No registration necessary.

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.
Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you
