(San Francisco, California)<\/strong> – The last week of October at Sts. Peter and Paul Church was filled with joy and blessings! October, dedicated as the Marian month, concluded with various activities across the community centered on prayer and the rosary. Halloween offered a beautiful opportunity for connection\u2014bringing together children and parents, students and teachers, and the Salesian community of priests and brothers. The Salesian Boys’ and Girls’ Club and Sts. Peter and Paul Elementary School organized activities, including costume contests, parades, and youth bingo games\u2014all in the joyful spirit of the Salesian Family. Prizes of candies and chocolates sparked excitement among participants, and it was heartwarming to see young children sharing this joyful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week continued with the Solemnity of All Saints Day, beginning with an early morning Mass to welcome parishioners who came to dedicate this holy day to the Lord before they headed to work. The school Mass at 10:00 a.m. was prepared by the Salesian Sisters and young people. During the homily, Fr. Vien Nguyen, SDB, encouraged everyone to appreciate the Saints for their example of holy living and to recognize those around them who embody holiness. Hearing the young students describe a “holy person” as good and prayerful and attending church was meaningful for everyone. Fr. Vien reminded the students that they can become saints by practicing kindness, caring for others, and living their faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that November is the month of Thanksgiving, the community looks forward to celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Saints Peter and Paul Church on the weekend of November 9th and 10th. On Saturday, the celebration will include a Mass for the Renewal of Marriage Vows followed by a prime rib feast in the auditorium. The parish community eagerly awaits the many joys and blessings of this celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
