Pastor's Table is a
ministry for continuing education in our
Catholic faith. It entails socializing,
a conference, and a potluck dinner. In
other words, it is really food for body
and soul. Please join us; such ministry
is an occasion to meet other
parishioners, interact and socialize
with our staff and priests, having a
wonderful time and a great dinner
together. These meetings take place in
MacMahon Hall (vis-à-vis our school).
You may park your car in the school
parking lot.
Giving the space of MacMahon hall
seating is limited to 90 people. Because
of its popularity our list is getting
full quite fast. For reservations call
the Office of Faith Formation at
831-624-6846.

for establishing peace and freedom.

Baghdad), Father Aisar Elias (Rector of
the Bishopric Church), Father George

"From Jesus to us: Sacred Vessels for
Bread and Wine"
Speaker: Fr. Emil Robu
A brief conference on the sacred vessels
used in the liturgy. Fr. Emil will trace
the origins of Christian celebration of
the Eucharist and its liturgical vessels
from our Jewish roots to our own time.
We take a look at the development of
liturgy and theology and their influence
on the practical matters, such as the
sacred vessels. With the help of Sir
