Rev. Mr. Fidel Carillo,
Deacon A Blessed and Happy New Year to all!
Mrs. Susie Dickert, As we welcome 2020 and anticipate the joys and challenges of the
School Principal New Year, let us be open to the graces God has in store for us as the
clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese of Stockton.
Mary Ferreira, As we begin this New Year, the month of January can help to set the tone for the
Office Manager whole year. The Christmas Solemnities and celebrations of January give us several spir-
itual steppingstones on our journey into 2020.
Dave Corder, On the very first day of January, we are reminded of the role of the Blessed Virgin
Faith Formation Director Mary. With the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, the Church directs our attention to
the protection and prayerful intercession of Our Lady in this New Year.
Laura Perez, Next, with the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, we are to make an extra effort
Coordinator of Religious Formation in the New Year to imitate the Magi so as to “adore” Jesus as Lord of our lives. We must
be willing to grow in our relationship with Jesus if we are to proclaim his gospel as his
Athena Rodriguez, disciples. We are called to lay down our gifts and talents before him in this New Year.
Director of Youth Ministry As the Magi were warned in a dream to go home by another route, we too must begin
Guillermo Garcia Jr., this year on a different road. We are to avoid the detours that distract us from “the way.”
Director of Liturgical Music This year, 2020, will ask us to direct our lives to journey together on the road of repent-
ance, ongoing conversion and evangelization. This is a challenging route, but at the same

Director of Liturgy holiness.
Throughout the year we must persevere on the right path in order to avoid the spir-
Robin Haworth itual obstacles and stumbling blocks along the way. In so doing, we, as were the Ma-
Environment Director gi, will be delivered and escape the traps of the “spirit of Herod” which attempts to
deceive and destroy us.
Richard Sepulveda, Following Epiphany, we will celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Even
Facilities Manager though the Christmas season will come to a close with this Feast of the Lord, it will di-
rect us to the very beginning of where it all started - our baptism!
To begin this year on the right spiritual footing, we must go back to the beginning

Allan Rodriguez, Lois Wiedenhoeft, New Year we need to remind ourselves of our identity in Christ Jesus.
Jose Martinez , Erica Campos, In this New Year, 2020, we must remember that we are renewed and empowered by

Monica Poncini, and Barbara Graham reminded of the high dignity to which we have been called. As Pope Francis has stated in
regard to “living” the Sacrament of Baptism: “What a great gift and what a great respon-
sibility.”

We covenant to give ourselves Year with a greater love and commitment to Christ. May we realize our role and our
“great responsibility” of being sent to be proclaimers of the Good News. Let us go in

to us in the Eucharist, so every we glorify the Lord by our lives!

Play That One Again
How many times have you sung the church song, “Here I Am,
Lord”? If you grew up Catholic and are around my age (still 50!),
the answer is more than you can count. The song that quotes vari-
ous verses of Scripture is sung using guitar, piano, or organ, by
cantors and choirs, in traditional and modern churches. It is truly
a Catholic greatest hit of the modern Church. The question is
