Hi everyone, we continue to have technical challenges with our livestream Mass. Yesterday, we were ready to go live five minutes before the Mass but for the third time since we started this, the internet connection went down at 9:59 a.m. We are already on a hardwire connection and could not understand how this could happen again. The Spiritual Communion was shown briefly but we had to cut to Fr. Vito because he started the closing prayer. We will properly brief him for this ...coming Sunday and hope to have the speakers working so he can be aware of the sequence for the livestream audience. Again, we apologize for this. We strive to have a seamless livestream Mass but the technical challenges just keep on popping up for our team of two yesterday. Thank you so much for your patience. Help us pray for a smoother livestream Mass in the Sundays to come. Have a wonderful week ahead. Stay safe, everyone.

At the 10:00 a.m. Mass this morning, Fr. Vito announced the passing of Fr. Roland's father. Please pray for the eternal repose of the soul of Salvador De la Rosa. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. ... Fr. Roland will be traveling to the Philippines this coming Wednesday. Please accept our deepest sympathies. We wish you a safe journey, Fr. Roland and see you when you get back. Stay safe.

Hi all, apologies for the glitches during today's livestream. As some of you noticed, our ambo camera kept freezing, which caused the stream to crash. Because the ambo camera stopped working, you briefly saw our lovely faces instead in some of our scene presets. We adjusted on the fly to use the altar camera only for the rest of the Mass, which is not our ideal setup. It's unfortunate that these things happen, but we are doing our best to adjust. We appreciate your patience and perseverance. Have a good rest of the week!

Hi everyone! We have some excellent news coming from San Mateo County and the state! We are now allowed to resume in-person Mass. The schedule is as follows: Daily Mass... 8:00 a.m. - in-person Mass resumes September 24 Sundays beginning Sept. 27 8:00 a.m. in-person Mass 10:00 a.m. in-person Mass with livestream Mass We are eliminating the 5:00 pm and 12:00 pm Masses depending on situation of the number of attendees. Please be aware that because we will be live-streaming during the 10:00 a.m. Mass some front pews will be reserved so the livestream team can move around. If we may suggest, please use the outer pews or the wings on the left and right of the church. It will have a better vantage point to avoid any distractions. As always, please be aware that the following guidelines still apply: 1) Please wear a mask at all times. No mask, no entry. 2) Please practice social distancing. 3) Volunteers will take your temperature prior to entry. 4) Waivers for contact tracing need to be signed. One waiver per family but please write down all the names of the members in attendance. 5) Sanitizers will be available but you can bring your own. We are allowed 25% capacity or up to 100 people. We are in need of more volunteers to help with check-in. We also need volunteers to sanitize the pens and the pews after each Mass. Any help would be much appreciated. As we get more volunteers, we can consider expanding the schedule of Masses. Thanks, Fr. Roland De la Rosa
