Happy feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary! The Lord established our prayer group on this day...31 years ago!

Today, October 7, Feast of our Lady of the Rosary, is HOJ’s 31st Anniversary. Because of the pandemic, we are unable to celebrate the way we did the past 30 yea...rs. The celebration would have started with the members attending the 5:30 p.m. Mass in Church followed by dinner and a program presented by Marie Saranglao in the school auditorium, well decorated by Earnest and Eunice Samson. We praise the Lord, that last year, the Parish’s Clergy, Fr. Rodel Balagtas, Fr. Parker Sandoval, Fr. John O’Brien, Deacons Dominic Pontrelli and Serj Harutunian were all there to celebrate and pray over the Community. Among those who came were Dominic and Sandy Berardino of SCRC, Fr. Bill Adams, our Spiritual Director and Fr. Joshua Lee, our former Spiritual Director. We pray that although we are unable to meet physically, we remain committed to our calling to use the Spiritual gifts given to us to bring others to know and love Jesus. We thank the Lord for the memories........ See more

MEMORIAL OF ST. TERESA OF CALCUTTA: The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure ph...ysical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God. -- Saint Teresa of Calcutta See more

Please pray for the United States and our world through the intercession of St. Michael: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. ... Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. See more

Morning Prayers Good morning, Lord! Thank You for a new day. Thank You that Your compassion is renewed every morning. Great is Your faithfulness and Your steadf...ast love, O Lord! I don’t know what all is going to happen today, and how much I’ll get done, but You do. So I give this day to You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Father. Energize me for Your work, because You know how tired these bones are. Awaken me to the wonder of Your salvation, and quicken my spirit to the reality of Your work in my life. Lord, my mind is filled with creative ideas, but they’re all jumbled. Holy Spirit, come and hover over my mind like You hovered over the waters at creation and speak order out of the chaos! Help me to cease striving and to trust that You will give me all I need today to do the work You’ve given me to do. You will be faithful to complete the good work You’ve started, and as I step out into my day, I declare Your sovereignty over every area of my life. I entrust myself to You and ask that You use me however You see fit. This day is Yours. My body is Yours. My mind is Yours. Everything I am is Yours. May You be pleased with me today. Amen. See more
