Monthly Young Adult Mass and Food Drive
Last Tuesday of Every Month
October 31st, 7:30PM

IMPORTANT NOTE: for October 31, the Mass will be held at St. Joseph's Church, 582 Hope St., Mountain View.

YA Halloween Mass

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday evening, Oct 31th, at 7:30 and each final Tuesday of every month for our monthly Young Adult Mass. This Mass is offered to and for the young adults of our Deanery (northern grouping of parishes in the Diocese of San Jose which includes Palo Alto, Stanford, Los Altos, and Mountain View), yet is open to any and all young adults from college-age to early 40s. The liturgy is smaller and more intimate, focusing on introductions and a conversational/dialogue homily, followed by fellowship and refreshments.

Afterwards, there will be a Halloween party hosted by the Young Adults of St. Joseph's parish inside Fr. Doyle Hall in the church basement. Come in costume or normal dress, and celebrate Halloween with the Young Adults of Deanery 2!

The Young Adults of St. Joseph's will be providing tasty snacks for the after Mass party. You can help them out by bringing non-alcoholic beverages or a donation to help offset the cost.

Laura Lessard of the Stanford Young Adults is organizing a pre- Mass Second Harvest Food Drive on Halloween night. This involves dressing up in costume and collecting food in the neighborhoods surrounding St. Joseph's Church.

Click here for more info and release forms.

Just two more spots for the build in Brisbane on 11/4. Please contact Larry ASAP if you are interested.

Contact Larry at (650) 966-8050 for more info or to sign up.

"When is Sex Really Loving" at Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub in downtown Sunnyvale. Fr. Eddie Samaniego will lead this talk and ask: What kind of relationship are you in? Are you treated like a person or an object and how do you treat others? Who's getting what from whom?

Come to understand what being in a "good relationship" means in this interesting talk about human relationships.

Speaker: Fr. Eddie Samaniego, SJ
