Dear Friends,
​
It is time again to begin discerning which ministries we will participate in during the coming ministry year.
 
It is well known throughout the diocese that CCOP parishioners have a strong sense of what it means to be good stewards of not only treasure, but also of our time and talent. This is a particular characteristic of this parish of which I am very proud! One of the primary ways that we express our sense of stewardship is in how we minister to one another – both within and outside of CCOP.

Ministry Sign-ups will take place during the entire month of September. Sign-ups will take place in the vestibule of St. Augustine Church following Mass (throughout September).
 
Additionally, you can signup for a ministry by clicking the "SIGNUP FOR A MINISTRY!" button above. 
​
By our Baptism, we are ALL called to ministry, but discerning which ministry to select can be a daunting task – especially at CCOP where there are so many opportunities to serve. I deliberately used the word, “discerning” rather than “selecting” or “choosing” because the process of discernment is not an individualistic one, but one that requires prayerfully including God in this process. A process that forces us to ask the difficult questions: “Am I being called to a particular ministry?” and, if so, “Why?” It also requires of us an evaluation of our Gifts – gifts freely given by God to use in ministering to His people – “What Gifts do I bring to this particular ministry?” Discerning a ministry is much more difficult than just checking a box – but it is also so much more rewarding!
 
There are no words that can adequately thank you for your commitment to making CCOP a Spirit-filled parish. Rest assured that this is a direct result of your love for our faith, for our church, and for the people of the Catholic Community of Pleasanton!
 
Peace, God Bless and Happy Discerning!

Director of Liturgy
