Hey there, St. Peter Claver family. We are praying for Pope Francis, who entered the hospital late last week and may be there for a bit longer. Will you pray with us?⁣ ⁣ Hail Mary, full of grace...⁣ ⁣ #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Peter Claver family, the Beatitudes are the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments. As with all things that pertain to Jesus, he is overturning the old and establishing the new. Those that love God and turn towards him will be released from their suffering and will enjoy eternity with many blessings. If one does not turn towards God, there is a chance that curses will befall them. Jesus uses the same term, “Woe”, that the prophets used to explain distress and pain to those who turn away from God and seek fame and fortune. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Almond milk is tasty, but isn't it just a LITTLE bit funny that God gave us all kinds of milk-giving animals and we started getting it from nuts too? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

True sacred art is one way where heaven and earth intersect, lifting our souls to truth, goodness, and beauty. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Hey St. Peter Claver family, do you celebrate Valentine's Day with your significant other, or do you wear black all day and pray that the day passes quickly? If you celebrate it, what are you doing today to mark the occasion? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Peter Claver family, three weeks from today begins the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday. How are you preparing to enter the desert for 40 days with our Lord? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Scholastica is the sister of St. Benedict, the founder of the Benedictines. As a young girl, St. Scholastica consecrated her life to God. After St. Benedict left for Monte Cassino to start his first monastery, St. Scholastica founded her monastery for nuns five miles from Benedict. She would visit her brother once a year to speak on religious matters. She entered eternal life in 543. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Hey St. Peter Claver Family, today is National Pizza Day. When it's pizza night in your family, what is your favorite pizza to order? Where are you ordering from? Do you know Fr. Riz's favorite pizza? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Peter Claver family, these scripture verses give insight into the future work of the Church, but they also provide insight into our lives. When the apostles work solely on their abilities, they fail. They grow tired and weary. When they listen and follow Christ, the fruits are abundant. When the church follows Christ obediently, she grows and prospers. As Catholics, when we open ourselves to Jesus and follow his will, more often than not, we see blessings and grace. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Peter Claver family - in light of St. Josephine Bakhita's memorial, the Church encourages us to pray and bring awareness to the evil act of human trafficking. An absolute sin against the dignity of the human person, human trafficking is a "business" that harms millions of people. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

On October 1, 2000, Pope St. John Paul II declared St. Josephine Bakhita a canonized saint of the church. Kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery many times, she endured years of suffering from her masters. Eventually, she was freed, remaining with the Canossian Sisters in Italy. In 1890, she was baptized and took the name Josephine Margaret and Fortunata. She received all three sacraments of initiation on the same day. On February 8, 1947, her last words before dying were, "Our Lady, Our Lady!" She is the patron saint of Sudan. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Hey, St. Peter Claver family - there are six orders in the Catholic Church that have formed our understanding of the monastic life. They are the Benedictines, the Carmelites, the Carthusians, the Norbertines, the Franciscans, and the Dominicans. To learn more about each order, click on the link and answer the question - what order do you align with more and why? https://media.ascensionpress.com/2019/11/20/12-catholic-orders-part-one-historic-orders/ #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

On this day, when we see many cases of breast cancer, let us turn our attention and pray for those affected by this terrible disease. Let us ask for the intercession of St. Agatha, the patron saint of breast cancer, who in the 6th century was tortured by having her breasts cut off. If you have time in your day and there is a Mass offered, think about offering your Mass for someone in your life suffering from this illness. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Some have said that the film Groundhog Day represents Purgatory. In it, a prideful and sinful man makes amends for his life and becomes a better man by the end. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Come to our OCIA Open House. It will be an informative and enlightening evening. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Peter Claver, although the walk to Calvary would not begin for Jesus and Our Lady until the miracle at the Wedding Feast at Cana, we see a small glimpse of Calvary and the cross in these words spoken by Simeon. Through God’s grace, he knows that many will reject Jesus, and, in turn, Our Lady will feel that same pain in her heart. Part of her vocation is that she will be the suffering mother. Here, the Church sees the beginning of Our Lady’s sorrowful heart. Join us for daily Mass, Monday-Saturday at 7:30am. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Pope Francis' prayer intention for February is for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Let us pray with him as a St. Peter Claver family: "Let us pray that the ecclesial community might welcome the desires and doubts of those young people who feel a call to serve Christ’s mission in the priesthood and religious life." #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Are Catholic schools in the United States focused on academic excellence? Personal integrity? Citizenship? Yes to ALL of these things - but at the core, being a part of a Catholic school is about holiness. That's what makes a Catholic education so incredible. On this Catholic Schools Week, let's offer up our prayers here at St. Peter Claver for the continued growth of our Catholic schools. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

When you attend a Catholic school, you quickly learn the key lessons in life about each individual's God-given dignity, the rights and responsibilities we all have as made in the image of God, and our responsibility to create a just society where people can flourish. Pretty incredible, right? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We know Fr. Riz did - from seminary. Did you graduate from a Catholic school? Let us know if you're one of the few, the proud, the educated for eternal life… #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Perhaps it's unsurprising that one of the most beautiful cities in the world is also home to one of the most beautiful churches. Once the chapel and reliquary of the French monarchs, visitors are transported into another world when they enter Sainte-Chapelle, which has walls that are almost entirely stained glass. But the chapel's beauty isn't just for show; the stained glass windows depict the entire story of salvation, from Genesis to Christ's resurrection. Like many other churches built in the 13th century, Sainte-Chapelle is truly Sacred Scripture in the form of architecture. #TruthGoodnessBeauty #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Was it a favorite teacher? Class? Moment of grace? We'd love to hear. Let us know in the comments. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

During this Catholic Schools Week, let's never forget - a Catholic education is training for life on earth, but ultimately it's about preparation for ETERNAL life. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

That’s a lot of pastors, administrators, teachers, parents, and kids - all united in the common goal of holiness! Today is the first day of Catholic Schools Week in many of our schools around the country. Did you attend Catholic school? What do you most value about your experience? Share in the comments. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic #CatholicSchoolsWeek

The whole world is longing for salvation - for freedom that is total, for joy that lasts, for life that fulfills. But like so many of Jesus' contemporaries, it's easy for us to overlook this salvation when it's offered to us. When it shows up in our midst. In many ways, we'd rather go on in our self-sufficient imperfection than embrace true freedom if it means giving up comfort or total control. But Christ is always reaching out to us with this offer anew. St. Peter Claver family, let's recommit to embracing it. #SundayScripture #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Perhaps no painter's handiwork is as recognizable as Caravaggio's. The Italian Renaissance artist's hyper-realistic oil paintings and bold colors have a way of capturing the eye. But Caravaggio is also a master of using his artistic techniques to shed some theological light on his subjects. In this painting depicting the focus of today's feast day, St. Paul's conversion, the Italian painter uses a style called "tenebrism" to create the dramatic effect of a light shining amidst the enveloping darkness. The light is meant to symbolize the presence of God, who overwhelms Saul, knocking him onto his back and opening him to conversion. Let's pray that all of us at St. Peter Claver might respond to God's grace similarly. #TruthGoodnessBeauty #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Marianne Cope is only the 11th Catholic saint to have lived in what is now the United States and is one of the most recently canonized, having only been declared a saint in 2012. Her life took her from Germany to New York and, finally, to Hawaii. She spent her last decades on the island of Molokai, educating and caring for members of the leper colony. To spread joy, she was known for bringing brightly colored scarves to women on the island. St. Marianne Cope, patroness of outcasts, help all of us at St. Peter Claver love the misfortunate as fervently as you did. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Agnes was born in Rome. As a young girl, she pledged herself to virginity, but had many suitors. She was martyred at age 12 or 13 after refusing to marry Procop, the governor's son. #TriviaTuesday #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

On an annual basis, millions of Christians around the world celebrate a week of prayer for Christian unity in January. This year, it's good to reflect on one Christian in particular - Martin Luther King Jr., and how Christian unity fueled his fight for justice https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/33269/when-you-think-of-mlk-dont-forget-the-faith-that-inspired-him #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

It's New Year's Day! And it's also the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God--a holy day of such importance that the Church obliges us all to get together and worship! So, please join us for Mass at St. Peter Claver on this holy day of obligation. Mass times are 10:00am and 12 noon Bi-lingual. See you there! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Happy New Year's Eve. Whatever you are doing to welcome in the new year, we wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy celebration. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

The secular world may have already taken down their Christmas trees, but for the Church, the party continues! For Catholics, Christmas isn't one day, but several days! Today is the sixth day in the octave, so make sure to keep the celebration of the birth of our Lord going. You can bet that Fr. Riz is! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Happy birthday, Pope Francis! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Did you notice the pink vestments at Mass today? Or that the pink candle in the Advent wreath has been lit? They mean one thing: we only have one more Sunday to go before Christmas! Why not come to a daily Mass to help you prepare for Christ's coming? We celebrate them Monday thru Saturday at 7:30am. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

When Jesus began his ministry, he didn't abolish John's baptism with water. Instead, he supernaturalized it, making it a channel of his grace through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is actually a beautiful metaphor for the way God's grace works in general. Grace doesn't destroy natural things but lifts them up and makes them more than they could be on their own. God wants to do this with everything in our lives: our relationships, our work, and even our free time. The key is to let him by always being open to his grace. Come receive an outpouring of it at Lord's Day Mass, this weekend. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. John of the Cross, today's saint, was a 16th-century Spanish mystic. One of his most well-known themes is "the dark night of the soul"--a time of detachment that prepares us to receive God more fully. In a way, the "mini-Lent" of Advent is a "dark night," preparing us to receive Jesus Christ on Christmas day with wide open hearts. Let's ask St. John of the Cross to accompany all of us at St. Peter Claver during this Advent season! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

On December 2, 2017, 33 people from our parish consecrated themselves to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary under the priestly direction of Fr. Adrian. The Divine Mercy Ministry was formed from this first group as well as a Ministry committed to Eucharistic Adoration. Last weekend, a group of parishioners, led by Fr. Riz renewed their consecration. Let us be truly grateful to our Mother Mary, and her Son, Jesus, for the graces showered upon our parish. May they and our special Saints, Saint Faustina, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and Saint Peter Claver, continue to help us live up to our Consecration promises. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Congratulations to our Knight of the month, Bob Ritzman! Thank you for all you do for our parish. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Emmanuel means "God with us." God was with us in the flesh when Jesus Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem and lived among his people. But Jesus also left us his presence in a permanent way: the Eucharist. In the Blessed Sacrament, God is really with us. The Eucharist is truly an Emmanuel moment. Join us in celebrating it at daily Mass, Monday thru Saturday at 7:30am. #EucharisticRevival #StPeterClaverChurch

Our Year 2 Confirmation candidates recently went on their retreat. It was a memorable few days spent with friends. Our candidates had the opportunity for prayer, reflection and getting closer to God and each other. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We make room in our hearts for Christ during Advent so that we can share his love with the world. Let's prayerfully let him into our lives today, St. Peter Claver family. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

John the Baptist lived a pretty radical life. Why'd he do it? Today's Gospel gives us a hint: the word of God came to him. The word of God, of course, is Jesus. And every part of John's mission only makes sense through his encounters with Jesus, beginning with their first encounter while they were both still in the womb. John has encountered the word of God, and is in turn motivated to tell others about him--even if it means living in the wilderness and eating locusts! Are we similarly motivated to share Jesus with others? If not, it might require first renewing our encounter with the word of God. Here at St. Peter Claver, let's pray for this gift. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

The Hispanic Community of St. Peter Claver Church wishes to invite you to this special day in which we honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, Queen of the Americas! Please join us for Mañanitas, or “Morning Serenade” at 5:30am in the church on Thursday, December 12th. We will pray the Rosary in procession that evening at 6pm starting at the Plaza, and celebrate Holy Mass at 7pm, after which we will have a reception in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Parish Hall. Come celebrate with us! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Ambrose of Milan accomplished a lot in his life. After all, he's a Doctor of the Church! But perhaps his greatest achievement was helping St. Augustine become Catholic. Augustine, one of the most important theologians of all time, might have become more famous than today's saint. But we're sure Ambrose doesn't mind! After all, it's all for the glory of God. At St. Peter Claver Church, let's all follow St. Ambrose's example of humility. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We have 2 giving trees. One is located in the back of the church and the other is in front, to the right of the altar. During the wonderful season of Christmas, let us remember the Children, Parish Families, Senior Citizens, Service Members, and special needs individuals who are less fortunate than ourselves. To give from the heart to those less fortunate reflects the way of Jesus. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Please note additional confession times during the season of Advent. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Stop by the plaza after Mass this weekend and order your Remembrance Poinsettias. Each poinsettia is $18, and we happily accept cash or check. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

In Advent, we prepare for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. But Jesus comes to us, of course, every Mass under the appearance of bread and wine. Do we adequately prepare to meet him in Holy Communion? Let's meditate on how we can be more receptive to Jesus in the Eucharist--and then come meet him for daily Mass, Monday to Saturday at 7:30am. #EucharisticRevival #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Advent is underway! What are some traditions that you and yours do during this special season to help prepare for the coming of Jesus at Christmas? Tell us in the comments below, St. Peter Claver family! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

"We pray that this Jubilee Year strengthens our faith, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in our daily lives, and that it may transform us into pilgrims of Christian hope." Lord, hear our prayer here at St. Peter Claver! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

It's the start of Advent, our time of preparation for Christmas! So why are we getting Gospel readings about Christ coming at the end of times? Because we mustn't forget: the little baby we celebrate on December 25 is the Lord of Life. And just as we get ready to celebrate his coming at Christmas, we need to prepare to meet Christ at the end of our lives and at the end of all time. St. Peter Claver family, let's pray today and throughout Advent for the grace to more fully welcome Jesus into our lives. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Join us for this special Mass. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

How often do you remember you have a best friend who never leaves your side and is always ready to help? Cultivate a deep and meaningful relationship with your guardian angel. Pray with your guardian angel and ask for guidance. Your guardian only has two jobs: to adore God and get you to heaven, where you can adore God too! Your angel won't let you down! And one more thing...remember your guardian angel will be sitting next to you at Mass this weekend, too! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Did you recently move into a new home, undergo significant renovations, or feel something is not quite right? Invite Fr. Riz over to bless your house. A house blessing places your house and those living in it under the authority of God while also ridding it of any unclean spirits brought in through previous owners or activities. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Encounter Jesus in the Eucharist this weekend. Mass times as always are: Saturday 5pm Vigil and 7pm Spanish, and Sundays, 8am, 10am, 12 noon and 5pm. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians. The Catholic Church has incorporated the beauty of music in liturgy and worship from the beginning. Share your favorite hymn with your friends at St. Peter Claver in the comments, and let's see if we can get some holy music stuck in our heads. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We had our Holiday Boutique Wrap Up gathering the other night. It was a fun evening spent with some special ladies. We shared delicious food, discussed this year's Holiday Boutique, and played a fun game. This is not the entire committee. Some of our other friends were not able to make it. But, we just want to thank everyone for all their hard work, dedication, and commitment year after year to make our Holiday Boutique such a huge success. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

According to tradition, Mary’s parents, Joachim and Anne, brought her to the Temple to consecrate her to God in thanksgiving for blessing them with a child after years of infertility. Parishioners of St. Peter Claver, let's follow their example and consecrate our own children to God in thanksgiving for the blessings they are to us. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We had our Annual Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament last week. Everyone had a good time as "par" as the eye can see. Thank you to everyone who came out and a special thanks to our sponsors and donors. We hope to see you again next time. ⛳️ #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

This is called a pyx. A pyx is a small vessel used to carry the Blessed Sacrament to the homebound so they, too, can participate in the source and summit of our faith and receive the healing grace it provides. Consider becoming a minister to the sick and homebound - maybe you too are being called to carry a pyx! Call the parish office if you would like to learn more about this ministry (805) 526-6499. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

One of the amazing things about our Catholic tradition is that we have SO MANY awesome saints - who is new to you but is becoming a fast friend? #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

The Church teaches that anyone who receives the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin is committing a sacrilege. That can sound harsh or judgmental. But not so! Being in a state of mortal sin can be embarrassing. Instead of being anxious, consider the depth of your Father’s mercy and run to confession at St. Peter Claver. His sanctifying grace will make you new! Confession times are every Saturday from 3-4:30pm or by appointment. Also, please keep an eye out for additional confession opportunities during the season of Advent. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We do not know when Jesus will return. It may be another 1,000 years, but it could just as easily be tomorrow. If Jesus were to return right now, would you be prepared? Do an examination of conscience every day and, of course, come to confession regularly. We have confession every Saturday from 3pm-4:30pm and by appointment. Look out for additional confession times during the season of Advent. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Our Advent Evening of Prayer will be next Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm in the West Hall. This is a wonderful way to prepare ourselves for the coming season of Advent. We hope to see lots of you there. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Since Jesus' divine Father was in heaven, he needed an earthly dad to help Mary raise Jesus. That man was Joseph. What's more, the legitimacy of his earthly adoption is established in the Gospel of Matthew as the genealogy of Christ is traced through Joseph's bloodline. So, adoption is part of God's plan for us. Today, take some time to pray for adoptive parents and children in thanksgiving for their 'yes' to God's plan. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Do you love decorating for the holidays? If so, this may be a great opportunity to help make our church even more beautiful this Advent season. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

St. Frances immigrated to America from Italy in the 1880s. She traveled about the country doing missionary work, establishing hospitals, schools, and orphanages. She is the first U.S. citizen to be canonized as a saint and is the patron of immigrants. St. Frances, pray for the parishioners of St. Peter Claver Church as we live as missionaries, evangelizing to our communities. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Join Fr. Riz in praying for all of the veterans at St. Peter Claver: Lord God, Almighty Father, creator of mankind and author of peace, as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope, and strength. May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love, and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light. To you be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

We are called to love our spouses as Jesus loves us. One of the many ways Jesus shows love is by serving. He washed his apostles' feet at the Last Supper to show us what loving service looks like. Think of one out-of-the-ordinary act of service you can provide for your spouse this weekend out of love for them. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

This is a wonderful opportunity to be involved at Mass during this special season of Advent. #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

That's a wrap for our 32nd Annual Holiday Boutique. We owe a debt of gratitude to so many. First, let's give a shout out to Lisa Kane, who has been our fearless leader since the very first boutique. We can't possibly list all the names of everyone who so generously gave of their time to make this Holiday Boutique another huge success. But, thank you to everyone who set up and cleaned up after the event. Thank you to all who worked tirelessly in the kitchen making cinnamon rolls and all the other delicious food. Thank you to the North Pole Cafe baristas that made us specialty coffees all weekend. Thank you to everyone who baked yummy desserts for our bake sale table. Thank you to all the volunteers, the vendors, and of course to everyone who attended and shopped and came out to enjoy this very special weekend with us. We look forward to our 33rd Holiday Boutique in 2025! 🎄🎄☃️🎅 #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

The Catechism tells us that our co-responsibility for the common good makes it “morally obligatory to pay taxes, to exercise the right to vote, and to defend one’s country.” (CCC #2240) Through prayer and a well-formed conscience, bring Christ into your choices today! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Hey, if you show up to Mass an hour early, that's okay. Spend some time praying for your St. Peter Claver community! Or, visit our first class relics of St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. Peter Claver in the Children's Liturgy Room. Otherwise, enjoy the extra hour of sleep! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic

Offer today’s sufferings for your deceased loved ones. Choose to fast from something or take up a small mortification. Set your alarm to go off every hour and pause to say, “Lord, I offer this up for the sake of N's soul.” It is the best gift you can give! #StPeterClaverChurch #Catholic #AllSoulsDay
