Bulletin 513368110214.pub St. Catherine Church Burlingame, CA Sent by: Marlin 650-344-6884 Notes: St. Catherine of Siena Church 1310 BAYSWATER AVENUE BURLINGAME, CALIF. 94010 Website: www.stcsiena.org PHONES: Rectory/Parish Office: School: Convent: (650) 344-6884 (650) 344-7176 (650) 342-4780 MASSES: Sunday: 5:00 p.m. (Saturday Vigil) 7:30, 9:00, 10:30 a.m., 12 noon Weekdays: Monday to Friday: 7:00 a.m., 12:05 p.m. Saturday: 8:00 a.m. Holy Day (Observed) as announced in bulletin OFFICE HOURS: 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. (Monday-Friday) LOOKING TO THE LAST DAY Today the Church remembers all who have walked the way of Christ and passed from this life. The readings all look to the last day, when we shall all rise from the dead and be reunited. The prophet Daniel announces words of warning and welfare. He cautions us against the judgment to come, but he also comforts us and assures us that all who live a life of virtue and justice will find life eternal. The reading from Romans reminds us that, because of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection and our entrance into that paschal mystery through baptism, we now share in the new life won by Christ. This recognition has repercussions: we need to live righteously now, that we might rise to life forever with Christ on the last day. In the Gospel Jesus pledges that all the Father has given him will not be lost. All the faithful will be raised to joy and live forever in the presence of God. © J. S. Paluch Co.
