Dear friends,
With a heart full of sadness but in total submission to the will of God, I write to inform you of the passing into eternal glory of an exemplary and faithful member of our Parish, Mary Zuzich who passed away yesterday 25th June 2026. Mary was a woman of great faith who faithfully attended weekday Masses, was consistent in her service to the Church as a Sacristan, especially on Fridays when we have the school and parish community Mass, and joyfully interacted with fellow parishioners. She also maintained a good relationship with St John Bosco School as some of her grandchildren went to school there. She will surely be missed by all of us but trusting in the Lord’s promise of the resurrection to those who follow Him, we commend her to Jesus knowing that He will be for her a merciful judge. We urge her family and friends to be consoled by the fact that she lived well and now rests with the Lord. We have scheduled her funeral Mass for Monday Jul 6, 2026 at 11:00am and we urge you to join us in praying for the peaceful repose of her gentle soul. May the soul of our beloved Mary Zuzich and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace.
We would also like to remind you that friday Jul 3, 2026 will be our Day of Adoration. Adoration of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist shall begin at 9am and continue until 5:50pm when we shall have the Benediction. Please join us as we watch and pray with the Lord.
Please be kind and may God Bless You.
Rev. Manasseh Iorchir, VC
Queridos amigos:
Con el corazón lleno de tristeza, pero en total sumisión a la voluntad de Dios, os escribo para informaros del paso a la gloria eterna de una feligresa ejemplar y fiel de nuestra parroquia, Mary Zuzich, que falleció ayer, 25 de junio de 2026. Mary era una mujer de gran fe que asistía fielmente a las misas entre semana, era constante en su servicio a la Iglesia como sacristana —especialmente los viernes, cuando celebramos la misa de la comunidad escolar y parroquial— y se relacionaba con alegría con el resto de feligreses. También mantenía una buena relación con el colegio San Juan Bosco, ya que algunos de sus nietos estudiaban allí. Sin duda, todos la echaremos de menos, pero, confiando en la promesa del Señor de la resurrección para quienes le siguen, la encomendamos a Jesús, sabiendo que Él será para ella un juez misericordioso. Animamos a su familia y amigos a que encuentren consuelo en el hecho de que vivió bien y ahora descansa con el Señor. Hemos programado su misa fúnebre para el lunes 6 de julio de 2026 a las 11:00 h, y os animamos a que os unáis a nosotros en la oración por el descanso eterno de su alma bondadosa. Que el alma de nuestra querida Mary Zuzich y las almas de todos los fieles difuntos, por la misericordia de Dios, descansen en paz perfecta.
También nos gustaría recordarles que el viernes 3 de julio de 2026 será nuestro Día de Adoración. La adoración a Jesús en la Sagrada Eucaristía comenzará a las 9:00 de la mañana y continuará hasta las 17:50, momento en el que tendremos la bendición. Por favor, únanse a nosotros para velar y orar con el Señor.
Les agradecemos su amabilidad y que Dios les bendiga.

Parish Water Drive
During this time of year, when the temperatures are creeping up, we start the parish Water Drive where we collect cases of water for the homeless and the St. Vincent de Paul dining halls. Each week the SVdP Water Truck stops by and picks up all the donations and distributes them. Please bring your much-appreciated donations of water to the parish lobby before Mass or anytime during office hours. Thank you!
