National Vocation Awareness Week
2023-11-05 - 2023-11-11 | NV
National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 5-11, 2023, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. NVAW began in 1976 when the U. S. bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year for NVAW. In 1997, this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on January 13 in 2013. Beginning in 2014, NVAW was moved to the first full week of November.

Traditional Posada & Potluck para Young Adults
2023-12-16 18:00 - 19:00 | Our Lady of The Snows Parish
Pastoral Juvenil Invite
The Pastoral Juvenil will celebrate its Annual Posada Juvenil on December 16, 2023.
Posada means “lodging” or “inn” and is a celebration honoring the birth of baby
Jesus. It was created by the first missionaries in America, as a re-telling of the
story of how Mary and Joseph were looking for a place to stay in the days
leading up to the birth of Jesus.
Our Posada has various beautiful moments. We begin our posada by praying the
rosary, and then we go door to door singing the Posada, recalling how Mary and
Joseph were looking for a place to stay. After this, we will share traditional and
delicious food.
There are some other highlight moments like the Pastorela, which represents the
appearance of the angels to the shepherds and the difficulties they faced in
reaching the manger to worship the newborn. Also, another beautiful moment is
the breaking of the piñata. The posada’s piñata is in the shape of seven-pointed
stars that represent the seven capital sins. The breaking of the piñata and the
candies that come pouring out, represent all the gifts that Jesus brings us with
his birth, including himself, our greatest gift.
Young adults are invited to attend. We will be so happy to have you enjoying this
beautiful meaningful tradition. You can find more details in the attached flyer.

TMIY (That Man Is YOU) – St. Albert the Great – Weekly Men’s Program
2024-01-17 06:00 - 07:30, 2024-01-24 06:00 - 07:30 | NV
TMIY is a program designed to help men become better husbands, fathers, uncles, grandfathers – men who want to deepen their faith and be positive role models in our community. We focus on our relationships with God, our wives, families, and with God in each of the persons of the Trinity. Our world today offers limited encouragement for us to become the men that God intends us to be.
Our current program The Fight of Faith will enable and equip men to engage in the cosmic, spiritual battle raging in our day, and in this process, authentic masculine identities will emerge and inspire heroic lives of service to a calling greater than ourselves. The Fight of Faith is uniquely both practical and contemplative.
We meet every Wednesday morning at St. Albert The Great Catholic Church. We also offer a virtual opportunity for you to participate. We have done this hybrid approach in the past, and while successful, we found we build relationships so much more effectively when we meet in person. We meet at 6:00am with a light breakfast and camaraderie. We will experience content that is inspirational and impactful. We discuss and share faith beginning at 7:00am, and you will be on your way to your day promptly at 7:30am.
TMIY is a great opportunity for Men to grow spiritually, share experiences, and form bonds with other men. We have found participating in TMIY personally beneficial. We know in our hearts you will find the journey to be valuable.
For more information, please contact Michael Pelfini pelfinimichael@gmail.com (415) 307-8211 or Joe Decaria ajdecaria@gmail.com (775) 560-4210.

Catholic Schools Week
2024-01-28 - 2024-02-03 | NV
What is National Catholic Schools Week?
Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2024 is January 28 – February 3. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2024 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.” Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
