Catholic Teaching on Marriage/Li-Peng

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:

The subject, "Same Sex Marriage", has caused deep concerns among Community members recently. Attached are some materials about the Catholic teaching on Marriage that Dioceses has approved for distribution among parishioners. Since these are catechetical materials, which do not address any Proposition subject, you are encouraged to discuss and learn the church's teaching in your Bible study or private faith sharing sessions.

In Christ,

Li-peng

Watermark parent meeting - September 20th/Amy Li

Dear Parents:

Last Saturday we had a wonderful potluck dinner. Thanks to all of you who participate it. Patrick has explained why the young adults want to lead the Watermark high school kids in our community. They felt guidance, especially religion guidance is very critical to their age. In a few years, our kids will leave us to college to pursuit their future with very minimum help from us.  If we can prepare them now, then we probably do not need to worry about them while they are away. Because they know what is the true value in their hearts.

I felt extremely fortune to have so many young adults devote their time to our kids. They are willing to help but they need our support.This year we have more kids and parents from San Mateo Church, we need to thank Alice Tong (Andrew's mom) keep inviting new friends to our group. And we have some new kids and parents from the Fremont Church too. Our group is growing which means we need even more support than before.

Maybe you won't come to Watermark in a regular basis, but please still come to join our discussion to let us hear your thoughts. We also need parents to bring snacks for the kids in every Watermark meeting. The Worship team ( currently 5 or 6 people ) always come at 5:00 PM to practice their songs till 7:00 PM. We need parents to provide simple supper for them.

Please join us. If you cannot make it this Saturday but willing to help,  please e-mail me.

The parent meeting time for this Saturday is 7:30 PM till 9:30 PM at room #2. 

Love in Christ,
Amy Li

Dear James,

Thank you for passing the email through your network to our church and friends to pray for my father and our families during this difficult time. My dad was blessed and saw all our children from different parts of the world all gathering here in his bed side, say rosary for him when he passed away.
I want to express my deepest thanks to all my brothers and sisters who prays for us and attends the service. May God's peace and happiness always with everyone.
