Mass at 10:30am. Brunch will follow! All new and returning Law and Med students are invited!

Before the busy reality of the Fall Quarter, Fr. Bart would like to offer one more opportunity for you to talk with him about the Parish. On Sunday, Sept 8, he will sponsor listening sessions after both of the Sunday Masses:
- After the 9 am Mass meet in the fountain plaza behind Memorial Church (Donuts will be served).
- After the 4:30 Mass, meet inside Memorial Church.
The atmosphere for both meetings will be informal and conversational. Come and meet Fr. Bart and share with him any concerns or hopes you have for the parish Community. He will share a little of his vision for the future and hopes to hear yours as well.

Join fellow community members from Catholic Community at Stanford as we head to Common Roots Farm in Santa Cruz for a morning of volunteering. Work may include planting, harvesting, working soil, clearing beds, petting chickens, feeding sheep, or whatever needs to be done on the farm that day. The morning will begin at 9:30am and end around 12:30pm. We will provide lunch to those who wish to stay. We are unable to provide rides to the farm but will help volunteers coordinate carpooling.

Sign-up by September 5 at noon >> [Google Forms] to allow us time to plan lunch and coordinate rides. Sign ups after this date are ok if you plan to arrange your own transportation.

Contact Eric Lebel (elebel@stanford.edu) with any questions.

The next film will be Chariots of Fire.

Morning Mass will be shifted in time and place on Sunday, August 25th. Join us for our annual All Community Mass and Picnic. Mass is at 11:00 AM, outside at Arbor House (the Dominican priests’ residence), under the trees and umbrellas. We provide the picnic. We will be providing a taco lunch. This is a great time to pray together, catch up with friends at the end of the summer and welcome new Year Round Community, Faculty and Staff. We also welcome grad students and early-arriving undergrads.

Volunteers needed to help at Arbor House in setting up (9:30am) before Mass and the picnic as well as break-down at the end of the party (around 1:45pm-2:30pm). To sign up to help:

He’s Back! “Eric Clayton: The Sequel!” This time Eric will accompany us down a different way of approaching God: Contemporary Culture as an Avenue to Prayer, a Conduit to Finding God in All Things. Stories can be an escape. Novels, movies, plays and comics take us beyond our ordinary lives and into something epic. But what if instead of providing an escape, the stories of contemporary culture helped us expand our imagination? St. Ignatius of Loyola reminds us that we can and should find God present in all things.

Register by Wednesday, May 15 >> for either the morning or afternoon session. [ccas.ccbchurch.com]
