Due to so many request for prayer and since we cannot read them all in our Mass intentions, we are setting up Prayer Board which we will show 15 mins before the Sunday Masses. This will make the whole community aware of the needs of others and pray for them as well.

If you want to include names on this Prayer Board and for what intentions, kindly send us their name and reason for the requested prayer to pastor2@sjogparish.org.

Debido a tantas solicitudes de oración y dado que no podemos leerlas todas en nuestras intenciones de misa, estamos organizando un tablero de oración que mostraremos 15 minutos antes de las misas dominicales. Esto hará que toda la comunidad sea consciente de las necesidades de los demás y también orará por ellos.

We are inviting all our parishioners to celebrate one of our traditional practices during the month of May. We are live streaming the May Floral Offering everyday at 6:00 pm in the afternoon except during Saturday which will be at 5:00 pm. We will start this first day of May and will culminate on May 31, 2020. There will be shared reflections for each day from priests and laity to help us grow deeper in our understanding of Mary's role in our life and in the life of the church. Our reflection for this year is based on the book written by St. Alphonsus Ligouri, "The Glories of Mary." Let us come together to pray as a family and as a community and ask the help of our mother Mary to sustain us in this challenging times and raise our hope in the power of God who loves us.

Unámonos para orar como familia y como comunidad y pedir la ayuda de nuestra madre María para sostenernos en estos tiempos difíciles y elevar nuestra esperanza en el poder de Dios que nos ama.
