Richard Perozich (Written for the Church Bulletin) – Elections are coming up November 2, 2010. Catholics must engage in the political process to form a nation that reflects the values held by Christ’s followers.Learn who you are and act like a Christian.1 Peter 2. 9 But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises” of him who called you out of...

ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS We are approaching the end of the liturgical year which will culminate with the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. At this feast we celebrate what we read in Scripture, that God will be all in all. As we move toward this feast during this month of November, as a church we focus on the four last things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.

Thank God there are still prophets among us who are willing to stand up and speak the truth, regardless of the repercussions. Father Richard Perozich, a San Diego-area priest, demonstrated great courage with his recent message to his parishioners, "100 Days or End of Days," which was printed in the bulletin on February 1, 2009. I'm confident that this clarion call to holiness and to abandon the evils of our day will be greeted enthusiastically by some, probably a minority, ignored by most, and attacked with furious hostility by others — you know, the ones who see themselves as participating...
