Greetings, thanksgiving and pictures!

Dear brothers and sisters:

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family!  What a wonderful celebration we had on Sunday.  It was particularly special that people from the local community also joined us in our display of Chinese arts and crafts.  Thanks to Teresa Lai, Sophia Chen, all the school teachers, parents, and children for the vibrant and joyful cultural presentation!  Retaining the Chinese culture and tradition are important for our families and for our mission. (See pictures: http://sjccc.org/index.php/activities/photo-album/938-cny-celebration-and-presentation-to-bishop-01-22-2012.html)

Thanks so much to Lucy, Maria Shao, Alan Hsia and our remarkable choir and Watermark worship teams. Thanks to Angie, Tien-Chia and all the liturgical groups, what a wonderful collaboration with the Cantonese team to have a trilingual Mass that integrates the New Year and Ancestry Remembrance tradition gracefully into the Liturgy. (See pictures: http://sjccc.org/index.php/activities/photo-album/937-chinese-new-year-mass-01-22-2012.html)

The Reception and dinner banquets were such a fun celebration!  120 people came to the banquet this year.  What a great way to spend the New Year's eve together as a family!  Thanks to James and Margarita to help us to create a rejoicing family spirit until the end.  (See reception pictures: http://sjccc.org/index.php/activities/photo-album/936-after-mass-reception-red-envelops-01-22-2012.html and banquet pictures: http://sjccc.org/index.php/activities/photo-album/935-chinese-new-year-dinner-01-22-2012.html)

During the day, the leadership team and the Planning Task Force presented an update to our Bishop McGrath.  He was very encouraging with all the progress we have made moving forward to become a Mission. He confirmed his presence with us in July and will keep us in his prayers.  The two important things he asked us to keep in mind are the evangelization to the Chinese people in the Santa Clara county, and to continue engaging the young people.  To that goal, we have a special event this Saturday with Grace Huang, from Taiwan, who brought 80 people to Catholic faith in the last two years. (http://sjccc.org/index.php/activities/activities-news/925-seminar-on-evangelization-1-28-2012.html)

Finally, I want to thank Simon for his leadership of the Chinese New Year and Louis for the Christmas celebrations. They and their families have worked hard and made possible these activities that bring us together as a family.  The strong participation of CM for Christmas and Chinese school for the Chinese New Year shows the importance of these ministries to our community.

Thanks so much to all of you!

Happy New Year, with the peace of God in our hearts!
Fr. Olivera

PS, Please thank George and Shing-Ming for taking all the pictures and Xiuli for setting up the web pages so we can see them. Thank to Tony and Wendar and thanks to many others friends that in silence make this celebration so amazing. Please enjoy these pictures of our Chinese New Year celebration and share with your friends!

Operation Rice Bowl (ORB)

Dear CM families,

As Jesus' disciples, we have a responsibility to care for our brothers and sisters in all nations. Our CM community will again participate in Catholic Relief Services' Operation Rice Bowl (ORB) this Lent as a sign of solidarity with our global family. ORB invites us to :

- PRAY together.
- FAST in solidarity with those who hunger.
- LEARN about the challenges lives of our brothers and sisters around the world.
- GIVE  sacrificial contributions to support those in need.

Today, CM room parents have distributed the ORB which contains one RICE BOWL and an ORB calendar to your students, please put up the calendar, do this Lenten Activity as a family, your involvement is most encouraging to your students.   Couple of notes:

- Remind your student to bring the weekly ORB sacrifices to church every Sunday during Lent (total of 7 weeks) as offertory.
- In order to save the manpower of counting the coins, I encourage parents to exchange coins into bills if possible before church.
- If you prefer to write a check, pay to the order of "SJCCC", memo "ORB".
- Additional resources are available online at orb.crs.org/resources.

Your participation is most appreciated!  May your faith family enjoy a truly blessed Lenten experience.

Gratefully,
Jessica Wang
CM Director
