A Time of Renewal and Commitment

Dear Parishioners,
In every generation, the Church is called to renew her mission and to prepare the way for those who will come after us. As members of this parish family, we have received so much from those who came before us—the gift of faith, a community of prayer, and a place where we encounter Christ. Now it is our turn to continue that legacy. With that spirit of gratitude and hope, I would like to share with you an important initiative taking place throughout our Diocese: the capital campaign called “Sowing Seeds of Faith.”

Laudato Si': Our Lenten Journey (Fifth Week of Lent)
As we approach the final days of Lent, the readings this Sunday speak powerfully about life, renewal, and hope. In the first reading, the prophet Ezekiel describes the vision of the dry bones. What once appeared lifeless and beyond hope is brought back to life by the breath of God. It is a powerful reminder that God can restore what seems lost—whether in our hearts, our families, or even in our world.

Season of Lent
Stations of the Cross & Lenten Soup Supper
This Lenten season, our period of fasting and penitential preparation preceding Easter is almost over. On Friday evening, March 27, at 6:00 PM. We e will follow once more in Christ’s Passion through the Stations of the Cross.

Parish Survey and Listening Sessions - Results
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Parish Survey and Listening Sessions! More than 250 parishioners responded to the survey, and over 120 parishioners attended the listening sessions, generously offering their time, insights, and heartfelt input. Once again, we thank you for your openness, honesty, and commitment to the life and future of our parish. Please see the summary of results here.

A Note About The Annual Diocesan Appeal
Each year, the Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) supports the regular operations of shared ministries and services that no single parish can sustain alone—from seminarian formation to Catholic Charites to faith formation resources.
For 2026 only, we will not have a separate ADA. Instead, we invite you to direct gifts you would ordinarily offer to the ADA toward the Sowing Seeds of Faith Campaign for Spiritual Renewal. This diocesan-wide campaign is helping every parish bring our Pastoral Plan to life.
Our parish will be participating in Sowing Seeds of Faith later this year, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, thank you for your continued generosity and for walking with us as we discern how God is calling our community to grow.

Mosaic of Blessed Mother
The mosaic in the rear of the Church depicts the Blessed Mother. The Blessed Mother served as the spiritual theme for Fr. Nicholas Farana's initial parish outreach program called "R.O.P.E." (Reach out to People Everywhere)

Mosaic of Jesus
On the other side of the Mosaic of the Blessed Mother is the matching mosaic of Jesus with children of all different nations.





Stained Glass Art Windows
As you walk into Church of the Resurrection, you are greeted by the beauty of the stained glass art windows throughout the Church, behind the sanctuary, and in the Chapel.

and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 10:25


Visiting the Chapel
Statues of Child Jesus, Our Lady and St. Joseph in the Chapel were hand-carved in Ortisei-Bolzano, Italy. Looking at the Chapel window from within the Chapel, you see to the right of the entrance a faceted glass windows featuring St. Clare, co-patron saint of the Diocese of San Jose, and St. Francis of Assisi holding the Cross.

A replica of Michelangelo's Pieta graces the gardens in the piazza.
