親愛的教友們：
昨日上午，我們敬愛的歐神父的母親蒙主寵召，回歸父家。
神父在服務我們的同時，也正經歷著失去至親的悲痛。在這個艱難的時刻，讓我們全堂區教友團結一心，以祈禱作為最溫暖的陪伴。
「主，求祢賜她永恆的安息，並以永恆的光輝照耀她。」
請大家在每日祈禱或彌撒中，特別合意為神父母親的靈魂安息祈禱，也求主賜予神父力量與平安。
今天, 歐神父特別送來感謝: 他真心感謝大家這些日子以來的關心、慰問, 特別是大家的祈禱。他也要特別感謝姜有國神父慷慨地幫忙主持下主日的彌撒; 感謝顧光中蒙席在Ascension Church主持彌撒; 還有Ukeme Bassey神父幫忙主持5th Street的主日彌撒。
歐神父會在2月13日星期五回到加州。接下來的日子裡, 神父希望能跟大家多分享一些天主在這段時間賜給我們家的恩典和慈悲。天主保佑！
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that the beloved mother of our pastor, Fr. Olivera, passed away peacefully and returned to the House of the Lord yesterday morning.
While Fr. Olivera continues to shepherd our community, he is also navigating the deep sorrow of losing a parent. In this time of grief, let us come together as a parish family to offer our most sincere support through prayer.
“Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.”
We kindly ask you to remember the soul of Father’s mother in your daily prayers and at Holy Mass. May the Lord grant her eternal peace and provide comfort and strength to Father and his family.
Today, Fr. Olivera sent his message to our communities. He is deeply grateful for the numerous expressions of affection, messages of condolence, and especially for our prayers during these days. His gratitude also to Father Jiang, who generously will cover Mass next Sunday; to Msgr. Koo, for his availability celebrating Masses at Ascension Church; and to Father Ukeme Bassey, for covering the Sunday Mass at 5th Street.
Fr. Olivera will be returning to California on Friday, February 13th. In the following days, He hoped to share with everyone more about God’s mercies that his family has experienced during this time. Blessings!
