• St. Catherine's Guild - June 10

  Anyone walking by Buck Hall on April 9th around lunchtime would have been enticed by the tempting aroma of some wonderful French Cuisine. Seventeen St. Catherine's members prepared Boeuf a la Catalane, Crepes Florentine, courgette with tomatoes/onions, quiche Lorraine, tourtière, Boeuf Bourguinon, chicken cordon blue, green beans amandine, creamy scalloped potatoes, to name a few dishes. Then, of course, desserts!

  We had an inspiring program by Nancy Baglietto, the executive director of Hospitality House, about their wonderful work in this county. This is one of the many community outreach organizations that St. Catherine’s contributes to.

  Any women, who were not able to attend this meeting, please join us on June 10, at 11:30 a.m., for a potluck feast of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine, as we settle in to hear about our own Cecelia Chan's trip to Iran. The pictures are beautiful! All are welcome!

   
• Bishop's Consecration - June 29th

  Bishop's Consecration - June 29th

  We have an opportunity - perhaps of a lifetime- to attend the installation of the next Bishop of the Diocese of Northern California at 11:00 a.m., on June 29th, at the Mondavi Center in Davis. This is really a historic event since The Reverend Canon Megan M. Traquair will be the first female elected to this position in our diocese.

  Even though we are a small congregation, we should support this celebration with as many numbers as possible. Realizing that this can be a challenging drive for many of us, we are looking into hiring a bus to pick us up at Emmanuel and return us back safely. I have been getting costs, but do not have anything firm at this point until I know how many wish to attend. It may be a long day and we can look into having an inexpensive sack lunch provided to stave off the grumbling stomachs.

  So I can determine the potential number of riders, I will have sign up sheets available after all church services at the welcome desk in Buck Hall, No payment is due at this time. After I have a count, I can get a final cost per-person.

  I can be reached at 432-9182 if you have any questions or ideas. ~Danny Gentile~

  Note: Attendance at the consecration also requires a free ticket to be provided by the diocese. Information will be provided soon.

• Mexico Mission Trip - July 11-18, 2019

  Dear friends, 

  I wanted to begin to distribute more information about the Mexico Mission. 

  The Mission will take place July 11-18, 2019.  We will again be travelling to the Tijuana area to conduct medical and dental clinics and to do work projects at a Christian school.  Although there are medical and dental components to the mission one does not need to me a medical or dental professional to serve.  

  We do programs for children nearly every day and there is always room for people who want to serve others.  We would love for you to come and join us.  

  There is currently a cap of 24 people based on how many beds are available, so sign-up early.  The Mission is $550 per adult and $250 per child, this fee covers food, transportation in Mexico, and materials for the mission work.  The opportunity to sign up closes on May 30th to ensure that we have time to purchase materials and train the team.  

  If you would like to support the mission, but do not feel called to go, we are going to be stocking a kitchen at the mission hospital where we stay with plates, bowls, flatware, and cups, if you would like to donate some that would be great.  Also, we are always in need of crayons, paper, and markers.  In addition, if you would like to financially support the mission that would be wonderful, checks can be made out to Emmanuel with Mexico in the memo line.  Thank you!

  ~Fr. Seth~
