Monsignor John Talesfore, Pastor
Dear Parishioners, school Familes and Alumni,
One Notre Dame Avenue
San Mateo, CA 94402
This weekend I’m reminded of where we’ve just been, what’s
happening now, and where we’re going….
Where we’ve just been… last weekend the campus was filled with
laughter, music and high spirits. The 23rd Annual St Matthew
Parish Carnival was in full swing. Parishioners, school families, and
alumni joined together for two days of fun. I started to reflect on
my own childhood as I watched the excitement build on the faces
of all the children. Were they weaving dreams of their own, high
up on the rides? Few experiences stay with us like the ones we
experience in childhood. Long may the Carnival continue, allowing
memories and community to build.
What’s happening now… On Saturday evening, April 25th, we
welcome back our alumni community with open arms. The 3rd
Annual Alumni Grand Reunion honors classmates from as far back
as 1945. Over 80 years of friendships and memories will be
celebrated this evening at Mass and afterwards at a special
dinner in the auditorium. In the years since our alumni left the
hallways of St. Matt’s they have gone through many changes in
their lives (and bodies). There is great fun in recognizing faces we
haven’t seen in a while. The memories will come flooding back this
evening: walking downtown to the original church on Ellsworth
(now Walgreens) to celebrate Mass, or sitting in their class of 50
(yes, 50 students) learning from the Sisters of the Holy Cross, our
first teachers here on campus.

Dear Parishioners, school Familes and Alumni,
(cont’d)
This gathering will allow them to reflect on times they
thought had gone forever.
Where we’re going… on Sunday we welcome the
newest members of the St Matthew community. Fifty
five new families will be joining the current school
community for the first time to celebrate Family Mass.
There will be many things, many traditions, that as
new families they will come to know. The caring staff
will provide our young ladies and gentlemen with a
nurturing environment. Service projects, praying for
others, and celebrations to benefit others are just a
few of the ways that we are a positive force in the
St. Mathew community. We welcome them
unreservedly into St. Matthew Catholic School.
We thank God for these wonderful events and all
the hard working, generous people who are making
it happen.
Here’s to a blessed and safe week ahead.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Staring Monday, May 4th. we are going
to start locking the main Church at
4:00pm. on the weekdays.
The chapel and two adjacent vestibules
(“cry room and choir vestibule”) will re
main open until 9:00pm as always.
Comenzando el Lunes 4 de Mayo, las
puertas de la Iglesia se cerrarán a las
4:00pm durante la semana.
La capilla y dos vestíbulos adyacentes
permanecerán abiertos hasta las 9:00pm.
como siempre.
Queridos Parroquianos, Familias de la escuela y
Ex-alumnos. Estoy recordando donde hemos estado
este fin de semana, que esta sucediendo ahora y hacia
donde vamos….
¿Dónde hemos estado?...el pasado fin de semana el campo estaba lleno de risas, música y buen humor. El Carnaval anual de la Parroquia # 23 estaba en pleno apogeo.
Parroquianos, familias de la escuela y ex-alumnos disfrutaron juntos el entretenimiento por dos días.
Empecé a reflexionar sobre mi propia infancia mientras
veía la emoción reflejada en el rostro de los niños.
¿Estaban tejiendo sus propios sueños en lo alto de los juegos mecánicos? Pocas experiencias de nuestra niñez permanecen con nosotros. Que el Carnaval continúe dejando
buenos recuerdos y ayude a construir lasos entre la comunidad.
¿Que esta pasando actualmente?...En la noche del sábado 25 de abril, dimos la bienvenida a nuestra comunidad
de ex-alumnos con los brazos abiertos. La 3era. Gran
Reunión Anual de Ex-alumnos honró a los compañeros de
la clase del año 1945. Mas de 80 años de amistad y
recuerdos fueron celebrados durante la Misa y mas tarde
en el auditorio en una cena especial. En todos estos años
que han pasado desde que nuestros ex-alumnos dejaron
los pasillos de St. Matthew han pasado por muchos cambios en sus vidas (y en sus cuerpos) Es muy divertido el no
poder reconocer los rostros cuando no se ha visto por mucho tiempo a una persona. Los recuerdos llegaron inundando de nuevo esa tarde: caminaban al centro de la
ciudad donde estaba la Iglesia original en Ellsworth
(ahora Walgreens) para celebrar la Misa, o sentarse con
su clase de 50 alumnos (si, 50 alumnos) aprendiendo de
las Hermanas de la Santa Cruz, nuestras primeras maestras aquí en este lugar.
Esta reunión les permitió reflexionar sobre los tiempos
que pensaron se habían ido para siempre.
¿A donde vamos?...El domingo le daremos la bienvenida
a nuestros nuevos miembros a la comunidad de St.
Matthew. Cincuenta y cinco familias nuevas se unirán a la
comunidad escolar en curso por primera ves para celebrar la Misa Familiar. Habrá muchas cosas y tradiciones,
que como nueva familia llegarán a aprender. Nuestro
atento personal preverá a nuestros jóvenes caballeros y
damas un ambiente acogedor. Los proyectos de servicio,
oración y celebraciones son algunas formas que muestran
que somos una fuerza positive en la comunidad de St.
Matthew. Les damos la bienvenida sin reservas en nuestra Escuela Católica de St. Matthew.
Damos gracias a Dios por estos maravillosos eventos y el
arduo trabajo de personas generosas que hacen que esto
sea una realidad. He aquí una semana bendecida

Gentleness
Feelings are everywhere —be gentle
—J. Massai
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Traditionally, the Fourth
Sunday of Easter (today)
is also called Good Shepherd Sunday. Christ tells
us in today's Gospel from
John, "I am the good
shepherd, and I know
mine and they know me."
The image of Christ as the
shepherd is one of the
oldest in the Church. Even
in the catacombs there is
an ancient drawing of
Christ carrying a sheep
on his shoulders. Sometime it is difficult for us to
view ourselves as sheep.
There is something passive and reliant in that
image which may bother
our sense of independence. However, if we are
honest with ourselves, we
know that we need the
Lord's help and guidance.
An essential part of living
a stewardship way of life
is placing our lives in the
hands of our Good Shepherd nonetheless.
Celebrate one mystery that Christ gave his life
for us on the Cross. If we
accept the fact that He is
our Savior and that He is
our Shepherd, we are
better able to serve as
shepherds to one another.
Stewardship is a life of
giving self, a life of selfgiving. We must constantly work to live up to the
Lord's expectations of us,
but we must also know
that He is our shepherd,
Our Good Shepherd, and
he is always there for us.

EL BUEN PASTOR
El Cuarto Domingo de
Pascua tradicionalmente se conoce como el
“Domingo del Buen
Pastor”. Hoy escuchamos las palabras del
Señor cuando se llama
a sí mismo “el buen
pastor que da la vida
por sus ovejas.” A veces es tan difícil para
nosotros comprender
la realidad de que alguien esté dispuesto a
dar su vida por alguien.
Esto es muy cierto en
una sociedad que pone
tanto énfasis en el poder y en el avance social, con frecuencia a
expensas de “pisotear”
a otra gente para escalar a la cima. Las Escrituras de hoy nos muestran a quién debemos
imitar –al que da su vida por las ovejas. Las
Escrituras de hoy nos
retan a descubrir la
manera de llevar vida a
los que están a nuestro
alrededor –a construir
y no a destruir. Copyright

World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Día Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones
Today the Church throughout the world prays
for vocations.
Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for
more vocations to priesthood and religious life?
Hoy la Iglesia a nivel mundial, ora por las
vocaciones. ¿Haría Usted un esfuerzo especial
para pedirle al Señor por mas vocaciones a la
vida sacerdotal y religiosa?
♦
♦
Pray for the priests who have ministered to
you throughout your life, both living and
dead.
♦ Keep your parish priests in your prayers
throughout the week.
♦ Encourage your children, grandchildren, or
other young people to consider a vocation
as a priest or religious brother or sister.
♦ Pray a rosary for more young men and women in our diocese to respond to God’s call.
Join the Invisible Monastery
Pledge to pray for vocations at the international
web site, invisiblemonastery.com. It was inspired by a Vatican document urging Catholics
to “organize an ‘invisible monastery’ in which
many persons, day and night, are committed to
continuous prayer for priestly vocations.”
