In the first reading, Peter tells the community that their Savior was indeed the one whom they crucified. They are cut to the heart, they repent and are baptized—adding about three thousand persons to the community. In the second reading, Peter calls the community to patient suffering when they know what they are doing is right. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks about the shepherd and the sheep who know the sound of his voice. Domenica 4 A di Pasqua Gesù ci conosce e ci chiama per nome. Ascoltiamo la sua voce, entrando per l’unica porta che è lui e chiedendo con la preghiera altri pastori che ne continuino l’opera. 復活期第四主日（ 善牧主日） 復活期第四主日又稱善牧主日，今天的讀經邀請我們默想好牧人的意義，教會的三個周禮儀年在今天都讀聖若望福音第十章，有關耶穌自喻為善牧，也自喻為羊欄的門。 在舊約中，天主屢次自稱或被稱為牧者，如聖詠、耶肋米亞先知書。又如梅瑟、達味都被稱為牧人；在新約中，耶穌更自稱是牧人。由此可見牧者的觀念滲透了全部聖經。 顧名思義，羊欄是給羊棲息，保護羊群安全的地方，羊欄的門尤為重要。牧人是照顧羊群的人，從羊欄的門進入，可以得到照顧，確保安全，可以得到靈性的滋養，是我們進入天國的樞紐。羊欄象徵教會。教會是耶穌的代表。 耶穌的教訓是無盡的寶藏，聽從祂，從祂這扇門進去，可以取之無盡，用之不竭，可以得到心靈的平安快樂和來世的永福。 神父是善牧的代表，要愛護他們，為他們祈禱。 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Saturday, a group of young men, ranging in age from 12 to 22, visited Saints Peter and Paul Church. They are from St. Joseph Parish in Modesto, California. During their trip, they also visited the National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi, our own parish, and the Dominican Provincial House in Oakland. These young men are currently discerning their vocations and responding to God’s call. I was asked to share with them about Salesian vocations, and I encouraged them to continue praying and listening for God’s voice. Today we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday. In the Gospel, we hear that Jesus Christ is our Good Shepherd. He calls each of us personally, and we must learn to hear His voice and respond. How do we hear God’s voice? We hear it through prayer and by listening to His word in the Scriptures. We also hear God speak to us when we gather to celebrate the Eucharist. Let us pray for young people to listen to God’s calling to dedicate their lives as priests or to the consecrated life in service of others. I asked the visiting young men, "What is a vocation?" One young man answered, “It is a call to dedicate one's life to serving others.” Our Church needs young men and women to serve. As parents and educators, we should encourage young people to consider a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. Just like the first disciples, we follow Jesus because He is the Good Shepherd. They trusted Him in their ministries and through times of struggle, sadness, doubt, or persecution. They knew that Jesus could bring them comfort and lead them to green pastures in His presence. We pray and hope that the followers of Christ will be courageous and unafraid to witness to the Good News. As we are called to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd, let us pray for the grace to imitate sheep in their recognition of the Shepherd’s voice and in their absolute trust in His love and concern for us. We also remember to pray for all the followers of Jesus, and for those not yet part of it, that all might faithfully follow Him and inspire others to join our Church that leads by the Good Shepherd. Remember: all of us should pray and help to promote vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life! Fr.

In the first reading, Philip proclaims the Gospel in Samaria and many people are cured. Peter and John follow and lay hands on the newly baptized there, and they received the Holy Spirit. In the second reading, Peter encourages the community to always be ready to give reason for their hope, and be willing to suffer for doing good. In the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that those who love him will follow his commandments. Domenica 6 A di Pasqua Il credente manifesta le sue religiose certezze con convinzione, rispetto e indiscussa bontà. La fede è suscitata dall’incontro di due amori: quello di Gesù per noi e quello dell’apostolo, il quale, riconoscendo che Dio è padre di tutti, si rende disponsibile all’annuncio. 復活期第六主日 今天耶穌又一再安慰門徒，不要為祂要離開而憂悶難過，說祂到父那裏為他們預備地方。並且說天父要賜給他們一位護慰者，祂將要永達與他們同在。這護慰者就是天主聖神。祂要保護、安慰、指導他們。這護慰者也是教會和一切信徒的護慰者。雖然耶穌在世時也保護安慰他們，但祇是短短的三年，而聖父所派遣的護慰者將要永遠和門徒、也與我們同在。耶穌死後，世界再見不到祂，但他們仍可以信德的神目，時常看到祂和祂派遣的聖神，我們也同樣得到這恩典。這是很重要的，天主永遠和我們在一起，可惜我們常常不理會祂，不邀請祂參與我們的生活，若在日常生活中時時記得祂，每做一件事，下一個決定都問問祂：「這是不是祢喜歡我這樣做的？我這樣做合祢心意嗎？」一定百魔不侵，百毒一不入，無往而不利。 五月二十四日是聖母進教之佑節，聖母是我們的慈母，不要忘記向她請安，用愛她的聖子耶穌來表示孝愛她，每天送她一串玫瑰經做的花環，將會使她特別高興，這是我們做神子的責任。 From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, When an elderly person knows that his or her death is near, he or she often calls the children together to offer a final piece of advice: "When I am no longer with you, you must care for and love one another." Similarly, Jesus knew he was soon to ascend into heaven, so he advises his disciples to love one another, to keep his commandments. Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit to guide them with love and peace. As the Easter season comes closer to the end, today’s Gospel of St. John tells us how Jesus reminds his disciples to keep his word by loving one another. Jesus gives them his commandments and promises that he will return. He assures them that God the Father will send the Holy Spirit to guide and help them and us to continue sharing his love and proclaiming his teachings. Jesus commands us to love God and our neighbors. While we may think this is a difficult task, it is possible. Jesus loved us by sacrificing His life for us, and so he urges us to love and even sacrifice our lives for one another. For example, Saint Maximilian Kolbe sacrificed his life for a fellow prisoner. In July 1941, prison guards discovered that a prisoner had escaped. To punish the group, they decided to kill ten other prisoners. Hundreds of prisoners lined up in fear, trembling and silent. When one man cried out, “My wife and children!” a skinny man stepped forward from the crowd and requested to die in his place. Our broken world needs more heroes willing to sacrifice themselves to bring about peace. Every time we gather to celebrate the Eucharist, we are reminded of the peace Jesus gave his disciples the same peace we share with one another. During the Communion Rite, the priest says, “ Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles: Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will. Who live and reign for ever and ever .” The priest continues, “The peace of the Lord be with you always.” We respond, “And with your spirit,” Then we exchange the sign of peace to one another by bowing, hugging, or shaking hands. True peace must start within our hearts. Jesus warns us not to let our hearts be troubled. If we do not have peace within ourselves, how can we share it with others? May the love and peace of the Risen Christ remain with us and the world always, so that we may live in harmony and witness to our Christian faith. Let us remember to pray for all of our grandmothers, mothers and spiritual mothers as we celebrate Mother’s Day today. Happy Mother’s Day! Fr.

The Ascension of the Lord: Thursday is the Solemnity of the Ascension, but in our diocese, it is moved to the closest Sunday, so we will celebrate next Sunday. St. Augustine on the meaning of the Ascension: “Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: If you have risen with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For just as he remained with us even after his ascension, so we too are already in heaven with him, even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies.” NEXT SATURDAY! SALESIAN YOUNG ADULTS GAME NIGHT AT 6:00 PM! Want fun, friends, service and faith? Our Salesian Young Adults invite you to share all of the above as we serve our Church and get to know one another!

In the first reading, the Twelve choose seven reputable men to be their assistants and serve at table . In his Letter, Peter writes that all who have faith are to be living stones, imitating Christ. In John’s Gospel, Jesus declares himself the way and the truth and the life , calling those who believe in him to do the works he does. Domenica 5 A Di Pasqua Ai cristiani non vengono risparmiate aspre critiche e ciò li spinge a unirsi ancor più strettamente a Gesù Cristo. Soltanto con Lui sono in grado di edificare la nuova civiltà dell’amore, capace di compiere opera grande. 復活期第五主日 今天的福音充滿溫情，耶穌知道祂的十二門徒中，有人出賣祂、否認祂，必定心神沮喪，況且自己即將離開他們，他們會覺得無所依靠，心傷神喪。為此祂要安慰他們，勸他們不要心煩意亂，告訴他們，既然信賴天主，就該相信祂是去為他們作準備。祂會再來。 祂告訴他們，也告訴我們，祂是道路、真理、生命。祇要跟隨祂，不會喪亡，不會迷失。藉着祂，我們認識天主聖父，所以祂是道路；祂所講論的不是自己的話，而是天父的話，依從這教導，實行這教導，我們認識真理；永生全在於認識天主愛天主。因此，我們應該走耶穌所指示的道路，用信仰去契合，用愛德去生活。 《師主篇》的作者說得好：「沒有道路，不能到達；沒有真理，不能認識什麼，沒有生命，不能生活。」讓我們走上耶穌的道路，活出耶穌的模樣來。 今天又是母親節，讓我們祈禱求聖母保護我們的母親身體和靈魂都充滿天主的恩寵。也求她幫助天下做母親的善盡做母親的責任。 From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This Sunday we joyfully celebrate with 11 students from our CCD program and Saints Peter and Paul school as they receive First Holy Communion. When St. Thérèse of Lisieux received her First Holy Communion, she described the experience as a "kiss of love" from Jesus, feeling such profound joy that she wept. She recalled saying in her heart: "I love You, and I give myself to You forever!" Jesus wants to be with us forever; it is for this reason that He established the Holy Eucharist. Every time we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus, we receive Him into our lives. Jesus reminds us as He answered His apostle, Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” It is only through Jesus that we truly know God the Father. Faith Catholic shares a beautiful reflection on the Scripture: “In todays’ Gospel taken from the Farewell Discourse in John’s Gospel, Jesus offers words of comfort to his disciples as he prepares for his arrest and crucifixion. Jesus invites them to trust in God and to look forward to the day when they will be reunited in the Father’s house. In ancient times when a group required accommodation for the night, one member would often be sent ahead to reserve a place at the nearest inn. But what Jesus offers them is not just an inn but an eternal dwelling place in his Father’s house. And yet the disciples are confused, even puzzled by his words. Thomas, speaking for the others, asks the obvious questions: Where is Jesus going? How will they know the way to follow him? To these questions Jesus responds with one of the great I AM sayings in John’s Gospel: I am the way and the truth and the life. Jesus declares himself to be the only way to God and that to have known him is to have known the Father. But this declaration too raises questions in the disciples’ minds; this time, it is Philip who speaks. For him and presumably the others, it would be enough just to see the Father. Like the disciples, we bring our own questions to the Lord. When we’re not certain where the Lord is leading us, in our prayer, we often ask for clarity, sometimes even for certainty . “Show us the Father” is disciple-speak for “Lord, please reveal yourself fully so that we know where we’re headed .” Jesus responds to Philip by saying, Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. God has revealed himself fully to us. Jesus is the Word of the Father who has taken on flesh and dwelt among us. In him and through his presence the very glory of God has come into the world and is now visible to all who recognize him with the eyes of faith. When we find ourselves asking the Lord for clarity in prayer, let us remember that he has already revealed the answer: Jesus. All the answers to the questions we ask of God can be found in the One who is the way, the truth, and the life . “ Let us pray for all of our communicants as they receive the Body and Blood of Jesus for the first time. May the love of Jesus be with them always. Have a blessed week! Fr.

Home / About Us / Our History Navigation About Us Our History Staff Tour the Church Our Pre-Kindergarten Our K-8 School Salesian Boys' and Girls' Club Our History There is no longer a beach in North Beach. The name was born in the 1850’s when a finger of the bay extended far inland between Telegraph and Russian Hills and the neighborhood was a sunny stretch of shore. Many worlds intermingle in North Beach now. What was once known as “Little Italy,” has become a melting pot of Italian, Chinese, Hispanic, Japanese, Indian, and other pocket communities. Central in the exciting ethnic mosaic is the church of SS. Peter and Paul which traces its original foundation to 1884. The first location of the church was on the corner of Filbert Street and Grant Avenue. The San Francisco fire and earthquake of 1906 razed this structure to the ground. The present church, with its twin lofty spires that soar 191 feet into the sky, was completed in 1924. For over a century, the church of SS. Peter and Paul has served parishioners, charmed the numerous tourists who visit it daily, and has been an inspiration to the members of the North Beach community. A ribbon of verse from Dante’s “Paradiso” spans the facade and translates: “The glory of Him who moves all things penetrates and glows throughout the universe.” This mosaic inscription placed just above the three entrances to the church connects the four large pillars upon which rest the symbols of the four Evangelists: Matthew (An angel), Mark (A lion), Luke (An ox) and John (An eagle). Original plans, regrettably laid away to rest, called for spectacular outdoor mosaics covering the entire facade. The twin spires (191 feet) have become a landmark in the area. The church is 100 feet wide and 160 feet long. The magnificent rose window measures fourteen feet in diameter.

In the first reading, Peter proclaims to the Jews and all in Jerusalem that Jesus, commended to [them] by God, was also killed by them. But that God raised him up. Peter writes that all have been ransomed by the precious blood of Christ. In the Gospel, two disciples travelled from Jerusalem to Emmaus, discussing all that had happened. Jesus joined them, but they did not recognize him until they sat for a meal and he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. Domenica 3 A Di Pasqua Il cristiano redento dal sangue di Cristo deve conformarsi alle esigenza della sua nuova vita segnata dal Battesimo. Sulla strada di Emmaus il Signore parla, mentre illustra le Scritture e dona l”Eucaristia. Perché possiamo diventare trasmettitori di speranza. 復活期第三主日 耶穌復活後顯現給厄瑪烏二徒，由路加聖史詳細佈導。這兩位門徒的想法，也正是當時其他門徒所有的。他們以為耶穌是先知，得天主的特恩，行了各種奇跡異能，他們把祂看作拯救以色列民族的默西亞。但事實擺在眼前，所發生的一切太殘酷了，如今又聽說祂己復活了，他們將信將疑，一點也摸不着頭腦。 耶穌也沒有讓他們認出自己，為的是聽他們講話，讓他們盡情發表意見，傾訴衷曲，好能慢慢開導他們。給他們解釋默西亞受苦受難，為的是完全應驗先知的預言。先知所預言的默西亞不是征服世界，統治萬民的君王，而是必需經過苦難，以聖死救贖人類。留給後人祂的教訓和榜樣。最後在吃飯時，藉祝福、擘餅，開了他們的眼睛。 二徒歡天喜地地返回耶路撒冷，大聲喊：「主已復活了，主真復活了！」這是向他們的弟兄保證，也向世代的我們保證。我們的信仰並沒有白廢。 星期二是聖母月的第一天，希望各位最少在這個月裏每天念玫瑰經，特別恭敬聖母。 From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Seven years ago, I was working as a treasurer at the Salesian Provincial Office in San Francisco. One day, I received news that my father had been rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Stockton. The message was blunt: “He might not make it.” I immediately left the office and drove home to be with him. Although the drive only took an hour and a half, the distance felt much longer. Many things raced through my mind. I remember thinking that if someone could have traveled with me during that trip, they might have helped me remain calm. In today’s Gospel from Luke, we hear the story of two disciples of Jesus. They were leaving Jerusalem on their way to Emmaus. During this time of confusion and loss of hope, Jesus appeared in their midst, though they did not recognize him. They explained to him everything that had been happening regarding Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus listened as if he had not heard the news, and then began to share the Scriptures with them, starting with Moses and all the prophets. He intended to reveal how the Scriptures pointed to him, but their eyes and minds were not yet open. Jesus met the disciples in the middle of their confusion. He explained the Scriptures so they could see God’s plan throughout salvation history: how God called Abraham to a new land and made a covenant to make him the father of a great nation; how God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt; and how God spoke through the prophets, promising a Messiah who would free the people from their sins. Ultimately, Jesus was incarnated on earth to suffer and die for us, rising from the dead so that we might all have eternal life. As the day grew dark, the disciples urged Jesus to stay with them. Despite everything he had spoken, they still had not recognized him. He joined them at the table, took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. Immediately, they recognized him in the breaking of the bread, but just as they did, he vanished. Filled with joy, they hurried back to Jerusalem to share the Good News with the other disciples. As we gather today to celebrate the Eucharist, Christ gives himself to us in the breaking of the bread at Holy Communion. Do we recognize him? Do we believe that Jesus is truly present in this liturgical celebration? Jesus wants to remain with us; he speaks to us through the Scriptures and gives himself to us through his Body and Blood. Like Jesus disciples, we are called to go and share the Good News by living and witnessing the Gospel. Have a blessed week! Fr.
