Eucharistic Adoration in the church Saturday afternoon

Each first Saturday of the month, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament happens in the church all afternoon (from after the 12:10 Mass until 4:30pm with benediction.)

It is timed to coincide with our Loaves and Fishes meal. So we honor the presence of Christ in the Eucharist and in the feeding of our brothers and sisters. All are welcome!

Blessing of Graduates

Before you were even formed, God knew you.
While in your Mother's womb, God named you.
At your birth, God's breath filled you with life.
Today we celebrate what you have become
at this moment in time. And so we pray,

God of our beginnings,
We thank you for the gifts of these graduates;
their excitement, their awesome wonder and curiosity,
their open speech and encouraging words.
Their contributions have blessed and challenged us,
and we have become a richer
and more diverse community because of them.

As they step forward into the world that awaits,
comfort their fears with the full knowledge of your divine presence.
Strengthen their resolve to walk in the footsteps of Jesus
as modern-day disciples in a world that needs their spirit.
Guide their feet as they move through life,
protecting them from the pitfalls of darkness
while they help to lead future generations
into the warmth and promise of your light.

We ask this blessing upon each of them,
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

AMEN!

Peace, always.

Feast of Pentecost!

Cathedral of Christ the Light

A few weeks back, the Student Ministry Team organized a tour of The Cathedral of Christ the Light, Oakland's new Cathedral currently under construction. Footage was taken during the tour, and a video was put together. It's a quick overview of some of the theology behind the architecture and the "focus" of the diocesan ministries being provided by the cathedral. The construction will most likely be complete by July, and the dedication is set for September 25th.

Interfaith Action Initiative Exhibit Friday!!

"What is Faith to You?"

Dear friends of IAI,

We wanted to let you know about our last Interfaith event of the semester happening tomorrow on Memorial Glade from 10-3.

A group of about 15 students from all different faiths have been participating in what we call the Interfaith Leadership Project this semester. They meet once a week on Wednesdays for interfaith discussion and collaboration and they've taken their experience and come up with a project to express their experience to the greater campus community.

Over the last couple weeks, they've put the question "What is Faith to You?" to over 250 students, asking them to record their answer on paper in written or artistic form, and snapped their picture with it. The result is an amazing collage of students and their answers that we are exhibiting on Memorial Glade all day tomorrow, Friday, May 9.

To get a sense of the project, you can check out some of the photos online at interfaith.berkeley.edu/whatisfaithtoyou.html.

Thanks so much for checking it out,
Andrew & Shokoofeh
