Pentecost
Dear All Saints’ parishioners,
This coming Sunday (June 5th) the Church Universal celebrates the Feast of Pentecost, the occasion when Jesus’ first followers, gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish Feast of the Weeks, also known as Shavuot—or Pentecost, in Greek—were powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed the Good News of Salvation in Jesus to the multilingual and multicultural crowd gathered in Jerusalem for the feast, and each of them heard the powerful message spoken in their own language.
Many consider this day as the Church’s birthday, since it was from this moment on that the first followers of Jesus’ New Way, filled with the unstoppable power of the Spirit, began their relentless proclamation of Jesus’ radical Way of Love, both in words and deeds, and as a result, the number of followers grew exponentially in a short time, as told in the Book of Acts of the Apostles.
We are all grieved and bewildered by the recent news of senseless and horrendous shootings taking place in this country, and the war waging in Eastern Europe. However, and precisely because of this hour of deep pain we are all going through, it becomes more imperative than even that we ask for the Holy Spirit’s comfort, discernment, and powerful inspiration, so that our words and actions are guided by Him in this crucial hour.
Let us celebrate Pentecost with all our being this coming Sunday and always, and show forth in our daily lives that we are worthy 21st-century followers of those who were so powerfully filled with the Spirit on this Day.
Father Carlos E. Expósito.

IN MEMORIUM
Nell Leone Watling
Nell Leone Watling passed away on Sunday, April 28 having reach the age of 100 years. She celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends on Saturday, April 27 and then at a festive coffee hour the following day, Sunday April 28.
Nell Leone was All Saints’ Church Secretary for 52 years. During that time she served under the rectorship of Fr. Paul Satrang, Fr. Steven McClaskey and Fr. Tony Noble.
Every Sunday morning she attended mass and sat in the first pew surrounded by family members. Parishioners made a point of greeting her warmly.
A requiem mass will be held on Saturday, May 18th at 11:00am.
Fr. Tony's Visit -- June 9
It is a real joy for me to be back at All Saints on Sunday, June 9. For new parishioners, I am the Rector Emeritus, having served as Rector of All Saints from 2003-2011. They were 8 happy years for me and in my retirement I reflect on the wonderful people and beautiful Services - and the fun we had!
The parish was different 20 years ago, of course. I brought a touch of enthusiasm and my Aussie humor - and parishioners had to get used to calling me Fr Tony instead of Fr Noble! It was a busy time - the Eucharist was celebrated every day, with 2 Masses on Sunday, as well as other Services and social events. And there was the parish school with its financial difficulties.
To come from Melbourne, Australia to California was a great adventure for me. I enjoyed getting to know parishioners and the community. For many years I had been visiting the US and preaching in various churches, but it was wonderful to actually live here and explore America. During that time I celebrated 3 personal milestones: my 25th and 30th anniversaries of ordination and my 60th birthday.
Since I retired and returned to Melbourne I have enjoyed assisting at the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in England and looking after Anglican Churches in Europe. Now I enjoy a more relaxed life in Australia, traveling around to follow my football team (Aussie Rules) and enjoying the company of old friends. I look forward to catching up with All Saints friends on June 9th.
Fr. Tony Noble
Annual Meeting Sunday, January 22th
Solemn Mass at 10:00 am
Annual Meeting at 11:30am
All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Because this meeting is required by the canons of The Episcopal Church to accomplish specific actions necessary for parish operation, all members of the parish are expected to attend as they are able. At this meeting we will present the 2023 Parish Budget, provide a report on 2022 and look forward at the year to come.
Prior to the meeting there will be a light lunch and cutting of the Epiphany cake.
Guest Preacher This Sunday
-- Canon Ian Elliott Davies
This Sunday, April 14 please welcome our guest preacher, Canon Ian Elliott Davies.
Canon Ian Elliott Davies was born in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales and educated at the Universities of Wales and Cambridge. He graduated in 1985 with a BD Honours degree in theology before going on to Ridley Hall, Cambridge to pursue postgraduate study in systematic theology. He was ordained Deacon in 1988, then priest in 1989 in Llandaff Cathedral, South Wales and served in two parishes in the Diocese of Llandaff before being appointed as the Assistant Priest at All Saints’ Margaret Street in the Diocese of London where he served for seven years. In March 2002 he was elected by the Vestry of St Thomas the Apostle, Hollywood, as the eighth Rector. In 2014 he was made a Canon of the Diocese of Los Angeles and appointed Area Dean of the Incarnation (III) by Bishop Jon Bruno in 2015.
Canon Davies would dearly love to see a relationship develop between our two parishes. There are precious few Anglo-Catholic parishes on the West Coast of the USA and to share prayer and fellowship with the clergy, people and parish of All Saints’ San Diego would encourage our common witness to the sacramental life of Christ’s Holy Church immensely, as well as benefitting our respective parishes.
He looks forward immensely to visiting All Saints’ San Diego this Sunday and ask your prayers as he prepare to preach and travel to us!

Service of Tenebrae Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00pm
One of the liturgies that has for centuries been part of the Catholic tradition of the church, but has somehow been neglected by some churches is the Service of Tenebrae, which is at present observed on Holy Wednesday by the Episcopal Church.
Although Tenebrae has not been observed at All Saints’ San Diego for quite a number of years now, it would be a worthwhile addition to the liturgical richness and tradition of our local church, and we will be observing it this year.
Tenebrae is an office structured around psalms, readings, and responsories. Its distinctive
ceremony includes the use of fifteen lighted candles (or seven in the shorter form we will be using), set on a special stand. One candle is extinguished as each of the appointed psalms is completed. The remaining candle, symbolic of Christ, is left lighted at the end of the final psalm. But it is carried away to be hidden, which signifies the apparent victory of the forces of evil.
A sudden loud noise in made at the end of the service, symbolizing the earthquake at Christ’s death. The lighted candle is then restored to its place, suggesting Christ’s eventual triumph.
Let us take part in this impactful and spiritually rich service on Holy Wednesday this year!
