Interfaith Prayer Service on Zoom, Wed, Jan 15th at 12:15 PM for the 30 People "Without Fixed Abode" who died in Dec 2024 in OC

 

All are invited to a Zoom Interfaith Memorial Prayer Service on Wed. Jan 15 at 12:15 PM for the 30 people who died "Without Fixed Abode" in OC in Dec 2024.

NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE DAY -- Wednesday rather than Tuesday.   

The reason is that the OC Board of Supervisors will be discussing on Tuesday, Jan 14th a program at least in Supervisor Sarmiento's District #2 to have hotel vouchers for families with small children finding themselves unhoused during these winter months and I do believe it would be important enough to attend.

A Pictorial Life of St. Philip Benizi at SPB Parish, Fullerton, CA

[Versión en Español] Introduction: Sometime in July 2021, a family of artists from my parents' part of the world "dropped out of the sky" and came to the Parish to ask if they could paint some things for us.   They said not to worry about money as they had their own funding but wished in fact to do something nice for a friend they had known who had a connection to Fullerton.  Looking at a number of examples of their work -- they were good -- and assured that this wouldn't cost us anything (we will definitely take up a Collection for them before they complete all of their work), I said what the heck.   For the sake of due diligence, I had them go through our Diocese's Safe Environment program, complete with finger printing, and I got them all COVID-19 vaccines.   With any such request in this regard, they always quite happily complied. And so, we set about figuring out things for them to paint.  After watching them work on the first assignment tha...

Fr. Dennis' Pandemic Movie Picks - Pt 2 - Dramas

Image
Hi folks, Offering here a "Part Two" to my pandemic movie picks.  "Part One" centered on Comedies .  Here are dramas / thrillers.  Every one of these films is accessible via Amazon and/or Google Play and IMHO worth one's time. Enjoy ;-) Fr. Dennis 7 Boxes (orig. 7 Cajas) [2012] (Paraguay, subtitled) - UR (would be R) - Who needs fast cars, speed boats and helicopters to produce a heart-racing thriller?  Here a random somewhat spoiled teenager who wants to buy himself a better cell phone is given a task of moving seven boxes from one end of Asuncion, Paraqugay's Central Market to the other, and ... much, much, much ensues ;-) - 4+ Stars - Amazon Prime Video A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night [2014] (Iranian Exiles/Farsi, subtitled) - R - A spectacularly well-made horror / drama, made by young Iranian exiles here in the U.S. - 4 Stars - Mubi on Amazon Prime Video / Google Play Video A Touch of Sin (orig. Tian zhu ding) [2013] (China, subtitl...

Fr Dennis' Comedy Movie Selections (for ADULTS) -- Pandemic Edition ;-)

Image
Hi folks, Yesterday, I was asked by a Deacon of ours, "Hey Father, you used to write about movies.  Come up with a list of Comedy movie suggestions for us PLEASE NOTHING HARD OR DEPRESSING.  My wife and I have pretty much burned through our Netflix Queue..." SO ... challenged ...  Here are 15-20 movie selections that most folks NEVER WOULD HAVE HEARD OF but WILL NEVER FORGET after seeing them AND ... they're all on Amazon Prime Video ;-) A couple of caveats:   (1) This is a list for adults.  There are all sorts of movies for kids , teens and young adults (late teens, early 20s) that I would recommend.   These movies here I'd recommend to our marrieds, 35 and up.   (2) A LOT of these movies are pretty obscure (but boy am I happy that they are available now on Amazon Video ;-).  As such, SOME of the reviews I've written, say far more than I would have written if I had believed that I wasn't writing "obituaries" -- gre...
