Catholicism
Come join our faith community as we watch,
listen and learn about Catholicism. This video series
produced by Word on Fire features Fr. Barron as our
tour guide. Father takes us to actual locations and
informs us on the history and event that occurred
there. Join us every Friday evening after the Liturgy
of the Stations of the Cross. This Friday, March 27,
we will show Episode #5: “The Indispensable Men:
Peter, Paul and the Missionary Adventure.”
Questions? Call Tom Haas at 949-951-1128.
Chrism Mass
All are invited to the Chrism Mass
for the Blessing of the Holy Oils
and Renewal of Priestly
Commitment. This inspiring
celebration will take place at
St. Columban Catholic Church on
Monday of Holy Week, March 30,
2015 at 5:30pm with Bishop Kevin
Vann presiding. There will be a Dismissal Rite in English,
Spanish, Vietnamese and Korean for the Elect. Come and
pray for and with our priests and bishop.
Saving a LIFE is Mathematics
Come join the Santiago community in the Number “1”
campaign, instituted by Archbishop Gomez of the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
1 x 7 equals a full week=1*
7 x 40 equals a full term pregnancy=1*
*1=a LIFE
For the 40 days of Lent, please keep hope alive for the
unborn through daily prayer and meditation or join an all
Christian group standing in prayer, daily, at the Mission
Viejo Planned Parenthood office at 26137 La Paz Rd. Ste.
200, Mission Viejo.

Eucharist For the Sick and Homebound
Parishioners, do you have a local family member
who is sick and homebound, unable to attend Mass
regularly? We have Extraordinary Ministers to the
Sick and Homebound who will bring Christ to your
loved one. Make sure to contact us now so we can
arrange for them to receive communion during Holy
Week and Easter. Please call the Parish Office at
949-951-8599 with your request.
Blood Drive Success!
Thank you to Fr. Thomas, the Knights of
Columbus and all of the Parishioners that
participated in the blood drive on Wednesday, March 11th. It was a very successful
blood drive collecting 47 pints of blood
that went to help support all six of the
Providence Health & Services Hospitals.
Letter From Fr. Bogdan Brzys
Dear friends from Santiago de Compostela,
This is the last Sunday I spend among you. I
thank God for you, for the chance to meet
you and your amazing parish-family, who
became my family for the last five weeks. I would like to
thank Fr. Thomas and Fr. Gregory for welcoming me and
for their great witness of life completely dedicated to God
and to the ministry of the Church. I’m grateful to all of you
who devoted your precious time to the conversations with
me or who permitted me to discover your beautiful
country and its culture. Thanks to this I could not only
improve my English, but also to know you better. I will
never forget in my prayer all the good I got from you. I
wish you a fruitful end of Lent and the joy which comes
from the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God bless you and your families.
Fr. Bogdan
Fifth Sunday of Lent
Senior Activities
Seniors meet on the third Tuesday of the month
(usually) for lunch and fellowship. All seniors (55
and over) are welcome. To help coordinate the
event, a call to Pearl at 949-770-4939 assures the
number of seats.
March 24: St. Patrick’s Lunch at Patsy’s Irish Pub at
Jeronimo and Los Alisos. Meet at 11am.
Memory Loss
Do you or a loved one have questions or concerns about
memory loss issues? The Interfaith Outreach Program
through the Alzheimer’s Association of Orange County
provides public awareness, education and support to faith
based communities regarding Alzheimer’s disease and
related illnesses. Educational information, emotional
support and referral to free programs are available. For
more information call Teresa at 949-701-5125.
Birth Choice
You can help support the brave women who choose
LIFE for their infants, with your donation of diapers
or baby shower appropriate gifts. Placing them in the
portable crib (found near the fountain) on the last
Sunday of each month. This month the collection will
be on March 29.
Vote ’NO’ on Assisted Suicide
A new bill has been introduced into the California
Senate—SB 128--called “The End of Life Option Act.”
It is being heavily promoted by the Hemlock Society
(which has renamed itself Compassion and Choices).
The objective of the proponents is to try to pass
legislation permitting physician-assisted suicide this
year, but failing that, to forward a Voter Initiative to
the public in 2016.
This would make California the fourth state
permitting physician-assisted suicide without
approval by a court. Bishop Vann is asking for your
help. Would you please seriously consider working
against this legislation by contacting your state
senators and legislators. Would you please go to the
California Conference Website: www.cacatholic.org,
click on the red icon which says, “Urge a ‘No’ Vote
on Assisted Suicide” and simply follow the prompts.
Let us pray and work together to help our culture
understand the tragedy and danger this legislation
presents to the vulnerable populations living
within it.
March 22, 2015
Field Trip; Are You Interested?
We are thinking about arranging another trip to the
new Christ Cathedral property, with emphasis on
property as the Cathedral itself is closed to the public
while renovations are under way. However, there is
still much to see. Visit the renovated art gallery,
currently functioning as a Catholic Church and home
to the St Callistus Parish. Visit the Diocese office
building, also the home of the Cathedral Catholic
School and IPM class rooms. Take a short walk to
the Freed theater and a pictorial history of Reverend
Robert Schuler’s development of the Crystal
Cathedral, and much more. Our Docent will be Tom
Haas. Tentative date set for Thursday, April 23,
leaving Santiago at 12pm.
Please call Carolina at the Parish Office at
949-951-8599 and let her know of your interest. Be
prepared to leave you name and phone number.
With enough interest, we will make it happen!
St. Vincent de Paul Second Collection
March 28 and 29
Next weekend, there will be a
second collection for Santiago’s St.
Vincent de Paul ministry. 100% of
your generous donations help our
parishioners and their families in
financial need, within the church’s
boundaries. Since September, 2014,
we have helped 25 of our parish
families in crisis with rental and
utility assistance, and the need is
great and continues to grow.
Thank you for your generous
support in the past. We cannot
operate without you.

"Nos Urge que votes "No" contra el
Suicidio Asistido"
Un nuevo proyecto de ley se ha introducido en el
Senado de California el SB 128, llamado "El fin de la
Ley de Opción Vida." Está siendo fuertemente
promovido por la “Sociedad Hemlock” (que ha
cambiado su nombre por el de “Compasión y
Opciones”). El objetivo de la propuesta es tratar de
aprobar una ley que permite el suicidio asistido por
un médico este año, pero en su defecto, que permita
una “Iniciativa para los votantes” al público en 2016.
Esto haría de California el cuarto estado que permite
el suicidio asistido por un médico sin la aprobación
de un tribunal.
El Obispo Vann está pidiendo su ayuda. Por favor
considere seriamente trabajar en contra de esta
legislación y contactar a sus senadores y legisladores
estatales. Por favor visite el sitio web de la
Conferencia de California: www.cacatholic.org, haga
clic en el icono rojo que dice: "Urge un« no » contra
el suicidio asistido" - y simplemente siga las
instrucciones. Oremos y trabajemos juntos para
ayudar a esta comunidad a comprender la tragedia y
el peligro que esta legislación representa para las
poblaciones de los más vulnerables que viven en ella.
Ministros Extraordinarios de la Sagrada
Comunión para los Enfermos y Personas que no pueden salir de Casa
