Societies of Mary
Please join us on the first Saturday in August, August 7, at 11:00am in St. Mary's Chapel for a special devotion time for St. Mary. We do the rosary first – you don’t need to even have a rosary to easily participate – and then we have the Eucharist. Father Ezpósito 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 also. We hope to see you there.
Since the covid-29 restrictions have been lifted we will adjourn to the Parish Hall for a light lunch after the Eucharist.
Last names beginning with:
A-G Please bring a SALAD
H-M Please bring an ENTRÉE
N-Z Please bring a DESSERT
Lenten Study
The All Saints’ Vestry is encouraging parishioners to focus on the traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during the forty days of Lent. Several Vestry members have completed the four-week Zoom class on these Lenten disciplines offered by Father Mark Michael through The Living Church on Wednesday afternoons. Both private and public prayer (perhaps through attending Tuesday Mass or Friday Stations of the Cross) are appropriate Lenten activities. Fasting is a traditional practice at All Saints’ and may include giving up a luxury that we enjoy during Lent (such as wine, chocolates, lunch on Wednesday, or meat on Friday) and setting aside the money saved for charitable purposes. Almsgiving may involve applying the money saved from the Lenten fast to an Easter offering or to contributions to charitable causes related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Links to the four Lenten Zoom classes led by Father Mark Michael are available below.

IN MEMORIUM - Lois Barrett
Lois Barrett, a long time member of All Saints’ died Thursday morning, May 27 at the age of 92. Lois and her husband, Don, were active members when Fr. Tony Noble became rector in 2003 Fr. Tony recalls, “I was truly welcomed by Don and Lois. In fact, one of my first pastoral visits was to them and we developed a great friendship. They were wonderful members of the parish and a great support to me personally. They were always at the 8 am Mass and Don was a faithful lay assistant. While Don was the strong quiet one, Lois was full of life and great fun. To be with her was a joy and she had a great sense of humor.“
The Funeral Mass for Lois Barrett was held on Thursday, July 8 at 4pm in All Saints’ historic church.
The service was recorded and is posted on our facebook page click here to link to the video of the service..
Please keep Lois in your prayers. May she rest in peace and now be reunited with her beloved son.

Vietnam Veterans Sunday - March 28
All Saints' is an official member of the Veteran/Military Friendly Congregations. As part of this ministry we will include in our prayers each Sunday, starting on March 14 a prayer from the Diocesan Military Cycle of Prayer. In addition on March 28 we will recognize the service and deaths of our Vietnam veterans and their families. Below a message from Rev. Frank Munoz, the Military Missioner, EDSD.
Vietnam Veterans' Recognition Act of 2017 designated March 29th as the day to commemorate the service and death 58,000 Americans, nearly 500,000 Americans and 850,000 allies that served during the war in South Vietnam (November 1, 1955 – April 30, 1975). The men and women who served did not get any thanks when they returned home; most were treated with ridicule and insults. Their service has passed in our churches with little or no mention. Historically and traditionally, Veterans' Day has been more a civic than a sacred observance. As with New Years Day, Mother's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and others, Veterans' Day is not a part of the liturgical calendar — although sometimes our churches have observed these days in some manner. The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego has designated Sunday March 28th as a day to recognize the service and deaths of our veterans and their families. The honor and thanks for veterans should be in a context of prayer. This is not the time for a rehearsal of our national concerns, but when we assemble for worship, it is as citizens of God's kingdom in Jesus Christ, not as citizens ultimately subject to any nation. In worship, we celebrate the good news of God's grace and love manifest in Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, Lord and Savior of the world, in whom all the creation is redeemed and is to be restored for the glory of God.
The Rev. Dr. Frank Munoz,br>
Military Missioner, EDSD

Classic Text:
J.C. Ryle: They All Rejoice in One Name
“True Christians are called ‘a family,’ because they all rejoice in one name. That name is the name of their great head and elder brother, Jesus Christ the Lord. Just as a common family name is the uniting link to all the members of a clan, so does the name of Jesus tie all believers together in one vast family.”

Sara Schumacher: Sin’s Entry
“Those of us who have read ahead know the fruit will be picked and consumed, initiating the Fall and the loss of what we see in the foreground. For that, repentance is the appropriate response. But the painting gives us the opportunity to imagine an alternative: what if Paradise had not been lost?”

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.
