What Does It Really Mean to
“Love My Neighbor”?
Most of us have heard many times the
Scripture in which Christ commands us to
“love thy neighbor as thyself”. (Mark
12:31) What does this mean to us as
individuals, and more importantly, as
Church?
Visit Annunciation’s new website at
www.AnnunciationStockton.org. From the
Home page, click on “Parish News”, then on the
“10-26-2014 Transcript” under the heading
“Homilies”, and read the excellent homily given
by Deacon Mike Wofford on what it means to us,
as Church, to truly love our neighbor.
NOVEMBER
A Month of Remembrance
NOVIEMBRE
Un Mes para Recordar
Every year in November we
remember in a special way all
those who have gone before us
in faith. Throughout the
month of November, we will
have a shrine in the cathedral decorated
with pictures of our loved ones, as well as a
Remembrance Book to enter names of
deceased friends and relatives for whom
you wish the parish to pray. If you have
any pictures you wish to include, please
bring them to the Parish House. Color or
black and white copies work best, as we will
put adhesive on the back and original
photos could get damaged. If you have
any questions, call Lucy Hamer at
463-1305.
Cada año en Noviembre recordamos de
una manera especial a todos aquellos que
han partido antes que nosotros. A lo largo
del mes de Noviembre, tendremos un
santuario en la Catedral decorado con
fotografias de nuestros seres queridos, asi
como un libro del recuerdo para escribir
los nombres de los amigos y parientes
fallecidos por los cuales usted
desea que la parroquia ore.
Si usted tiene alguna
fotografia que desee incluir,
por favor tráigala a la Casa
Parroquial.
GOT CANDY?
Do you have an abundance of
Halloween candy and don’t
know what to do with it?
Here is a suggestion: Donate
it to the Simbang Gabi/Posadas
Multicultural Advent celebration held in
December. You may drop the candy off
at the Parish House. Thank you!
TIENE DULCES?
Usted tiene dulces de Halloween en
abundancia y no sabe que hacer con
ellos?
Tengo una sugerencia: Donelos a la
celabración Multicultural de Adviento
(Simban Gabi/Posadas) que se
celebrara en DicieMbre. Usted Puede
dejar los dulces en la Casa Parroguial.
Gracias!

From “ALWAYS OUR CHILDREN”, United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1997:
Seek help for yourself, perhaps in the form of
counseling or spiritual direction, as you strive for
understanding, acceptance, and inner peace. Also,
consider joining a parents' support group or
participating in a retreat designed for Catholic parents
of homosexual children. Other people have traveled
the same road as you but may have journeyed even
further. They can share effective ways of handling
delicate family situations such as how to tell family
members and friends about your child, how to explain
homosexuality to younger children, and how to relate
to your son or daughter's friends in a Christian way.
All Are Welcome is a new ministry at Cathedral of
the Annunciation for parents and family members of
LGBT persons who wish to share their experiences,
concerns and questions in a confidential and caring
environment. Our ministry team is made up of
parents and family members of LGBT persons, as well
as clergy. We meet on the third Wednesday of each
month, and ALL ARE WELCOME!
If you would like to attend one of our meetings, or
just learn more about our ministry, send an email to
allarewelcome2@gmail.com, or call (209) 4037813.
