A FUNERAL MEMORIAL MASS, TWO BAPTISMS, SATURDAY CONFESSIONS AND THE SUNDAY VIGIL MASS.....COMPRISE TODAY'S PARISH, PRIESTLY, MINISTRY...........

I begin my blogging today, with a celebratory shout out, to Reverend Mt his mASSES.  day.  Msgr. Schons, served for two decades as an educator-librarian at Christian Brothers and Bishop Manogue High Schools in Sacramento.  He was also the first Vicar for the Hispanic Apostolate in the Sacramento Diocese, and lived In Residence at All Hallows and St. Rose's parishes in South Sacramento, from 1953-1979.  He has resided in Galt, in southern Sacramento County, since 1979, to the present.  From 1968-1982, while he was presiding at 2 Sunday Masses each week, ministered as both an altar server, lector, and extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, for him through those years.  A stemwinding preacher, his Sunday homilies were always a practical, pastoral exposition of how to productive living as Christ's Disciples.....The pastoral ministry schedule of OLOL Parish today begins with the Funeral Memorial Mass for Peter Gutierrez, who worked for several years as a golf pro, at Haggins Oaks Golf Course.  Father Traynor, and I, will concelebrate the Mass at 11 a.m.  There are 2 Baptisms scheduled at the 5 p.m. Vigil Mass this evening, as our monthly rotation of celebrating baptisms in the parish at Sunday Masses monthly in rotation, continues to unfold.  And Confessionsc and the Sacrament of Reconciliation are from 4 - 4:45 p.m., in the church prior to the evening Mass.  Parishioner John Thomas, who was last night's antibiotic infusion returns to facilitate tonight's 8 p.m. session, and Jack Pennington, will be here to connect and disconnect me Sunday morning.  Otherwise I am battening down the hatches in preparation for Monday's trip to Phoenix, Arizona, as I fly with Noe Perez, to undergo my Tuesday - Friday annual Kidney Transplant evaluation, at the Mayo Clinic...........Peace + Prayers in Jesus Who Is Lord,   Fr.
