Dear Parishioners

Dear Parishioners of St. Timothy’s,

The Mass of Welcoming the Most Reverend Cirilo Flores as the Coadjutor Bishop of San Diego will take place on Monday, February 13, at 1:00 p.m. at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church, Carmel Valley, in the presence of Cardinal Roger Mahoney, Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles

All registered parishioners should be on the lookout for the 2012 Annual Catholic Appeal mailing to arrive in the coming days. This mailing will contain an appeal letter from me along with the donation/pledge envelope. For those who are not registered or for some reason do not receive this mailing, envelopes will be available in church and in the Parish Office for months to come. Please do all that you can to help us reach our parish goal of $54,000, the same as last year. 80% of payments OVER our goal will come back to the parish.

The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, February 20, in observance of the Presidents’ Day holiday. Mass will be celebrated at 6:30 a.m.

Ash Wednesday; Lent begins February 22 (Day of Fast and Abstinence): Mass and Distribution of Ashes: 6:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 7:00 p.m.

Lenten Penance Service: Tuesday, March 13, at 7pm. A thought for reflection: “Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: half the babies and all the mothers.” Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta
With gratitude for all your participation and support,

Fr. Fernando Ramirez, Pastor
