Societies of Mary
The August Societies of Mary gathering will be held on Saturday, August 6th at 11am.
Please join us. We do the rosary first – you don’t need to even have a rosary to easily participate – and then we have the Eucharist. Father Expósito will be the celebrant.
The total time is less than an hour and a half. Newcomers are always welcome. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
We will adjourn to the Parish Hall for a light lunch after the Eucharist.
We look forward to your joining us on Saturday.
The Stewardship Committee thanks parishioners for their generous Good Friday and Easter offerings. The Good Friday offering of $243 will be given to the Diocese of Jerusalem for its work in the Holy Land.

Christian Formation - 2nd and 4th Sundays,after Mass at 11:30am
-- After getting your coffee and a snack, please join us on Sunday, February 27 in Father's study as we complete our discussion of "The Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer.”
On that Sunday we will be discussing Session 10 — The Future of Prayer Book Worship. --
Have you ever wondered how the Book of Common Prayer originated? Who were the historical figures instrumental through the ages from the 16th century to the present day in formulating this Book? Well Gary Nicilosi, Episcopal Priest and Lawyer, has written “A Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer—An Appreciation of Anglicanism” to answer those questions and many more.
Gary Nicolosi is the author of hundreds of articles on Anglicanism, parish ministry and spirituality, including his book “SoulFire: Preaching the Church Message in a Secular, Postmodern World”.
As a former member of St. Bart’s, Poway during his rectorship, I can attest to his fine writing and the depth of his scholarship.
Please join Fr. Carlos as he leads us through Concise History—each lesson/chapter includes questions to guide group discussion and to provoke serious personal reflection.
Copies of this book are available for $14.00 in the Parish Office during the week and on Sundays.
Message from Fr. Carlos
Dear All Saints’ parishioners,
As part of our Christian formation for adults this coming Lenten Season, we are inviting you to join us in the study of the book Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul by John Philip Newell.
In this book, Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World, John Phillip Newell shares the long, hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, explaining how this earth-based spirituality can help us rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, with each other, and with the earth. He introduces some of Celtic Christianity’s leading practitioners, both saints and pioneers of faith, whose timeless wisdom is more necessary than ever.
Newell is an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher, speaker, and author of several books, including Listening for the Heartbeat of God, and A New Harmony. The former Warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, he is the founder of Earth and Soul (a Celtic Initiative of Study, Spiritual Practice, and Compassionate Action) and teaches regularly in the United States.
Bishop Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, and author of Love is the Way, says, "This wonderful book draws deeply from the well of Celtic wisdom across the centuries to help us to recognize the sacred both around us and in us, calling us to wake up and see that there’s no going back to small, limited notions of God and the sacred."
We will be meeting in the rector’s office every second and fourth Sunday of the month, after the mass.
The books will be available for purchase at the church. Further information as to what chapters to read in advance for each session will be given in our weekly bulletins and newsletters.
IN MEMORIUM
A Requiem Mass for Rose Marie True, who passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2020 will be celebrated on Saturday, March 19 at 11am.
Rose Marie, her husband and five children were active members of All Saints’ for over 40 years. All her children either taught Sunday School, sang in the choir or were Acolytes. Rose Marie was an active member and head of the Altar Guild with her daughter, Katherine, for many years.
Please join us as we celebrate the life of a faithful member of All Saints’ and welcome her family as they return to All Saints’ for this time of remembrance.
Following the mass a luncheon will be served in the Parish Hall. All are invited.
San Diego Music Coterie

At 3pm
All Saints’ Parish Hall
Musical America – West Side Story and Sound of Music
The Greater San Diego Music Coterie presents its last monthly concert for the season at All Saints’ Episcopal Church with a program honoring two of the most beloved musicals of all times, West Side Story and Sound of Music. Join us for a sing-along of your favorite songs.
Some history:
West Side Story opened on Broadway in 1957. It was conceived by Jerome Robbins with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents. It ran for 732 performances before going on tour and was nominated for 6 Toni awards.
The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Trapp Family singers. The show made its Broadway debut in 1959. It chronicles the life of Maria von Trapp, whose aspiration to become a nun gets derailed when she becomes a governess to the von Trapp children. The family came to America and settled in Vermont. Both the musical and the film are based on the true story of Maria von Trapp’s life.
Enjoy listening and/or singing this wonderful music either in the Parish Hall or All Saints’ courtyard on what will be a fine summer afternoon.
All performers have been fully vaccinated, including the booster.
Admission is free with free-will donation at the door. Masks are not required.

Social Action Committee News
Thank you again for all your generosity. As a committee we have decided to disburse the funds as follows:
Grand Circle Foundation - $500 (https://grandcirclefoundation.org/)
This group does many things including trips around the world exploring other cultures and people. They support education, clean water, leadership training, conservation efforts and the preservation of cultural treasures and traditions both in the United States and internationally.
Scripps/Mercy Hospital ER - $250
Over the last several years we have been helping them with clothing for the homeless patients who come in. This time they are requesting slider sandals (like flip-flops but no toe divider). This will allow one to wear socks with the sandals - many of their homeless patients have serious foot problems.
HECR (Helping Empower Community Refugees) - $250 (https://hecr.org/)
HECR is a neighborhood group dedicated to supporting refugee resettlement in San Diego. They started in El Cajon helping Syrian refugees and have expanded their work to include others such as Ukrainians and Afghanis. They partner with other resettlement agencies such as Second Families San Diego.
SAC - the remainder of the funds (approximately $250)
We will retain this portion for future use as the need arises. We want to be prepared for unexpected needs over the year. This could be any number of causes. We will keep you all posted.
Again - thank you so much - you are making a difference in our world!

“Even brief glimpses of these amazing creatures have filled me with fear, wonder, and gratitude, for like all of God’s creation, in its myriad ways, a bear’s simple existence speaks of something powerful and profound far beyond our little lives. It speaks of the Creator.”

However, between these bulletins, situations arise that people need immediate prayers started. More information will be provided in future enews.
If you are interested in being included in the prayer chain or if you have additional questions or comments, please contact Pamela Gray throught the Parish.

Sunday Morning Childcare
We are excited to announce that our nursery is now being staffed through Panda's Domestic Referral Agency, which provides childcare for many churches in San Diego. All sitters are childcare professionals that have undergone a national background check and are Infant and Child CPR Certified.
Want to be an Acolyte?
We have a pressing need for additional Acolytes in order to continue our worship in the manner to which we have all grown accustom. This is particularly true for the 10:30 Mass. If you are seeking an opportunity to serve and think that you might be interested in serving at the Altar, come by the Acolyte room before or after the service to learn what we do.
