Re: Job & Seeker Forum Gathering Schedule

Dear brothers and sisters,
Peace and joy to you and your family!

I am not sure if it's my imagination, last 2-3 weeks have been extremely quiet for me in the job front, but things seems to start picking up again this week, seems like there are more (relevant) job postings and more responses. I have re-posted over 10 referral jobs in the Job Forum this week already, please check them out, and feel free to refer to others in need: http://www.sjccc.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4

Please refer to Cris' email regarding the schedule, so there is no gathering this week.

May God bless you with a very joyful day!
+Tony
PS, share with you a thoughtful ppt video "Choices": http://www.blessed-family.org/index.php/inspirational-chinese/86-choices-chinese-poem.html

Pray for the recovery of Fr. Rick's health

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:

Recently, doctors have discovered that Fr. Rick, our pastor of the St. Clare Parish, has prostate cancer. He wrote an article, titled as "What to avoid when you have cancer", on the bulletin flyer of last week. While holding complete faith and trust to God, he requests our prayer to him as "God's will be done". The article expresses his deeper appreciation of what the experience may bring us a greater solidarity as a human family, let's extend our prayer for a full recovery of his health.

God Bless,
SJCCC Chair Board
