Justice, Service and Solidarity

There can be no more eloquent witness or testimony to faith than simply “doing unto others” in the name of Christ. It is in the lived, experienced and reflected upon service to others that our teens truly learn who it is that is their neighbor and what it is to be transformed through loving that neighbor.

Giving Tree Gift Reception!
Come to the rectory garages at St. Augustine Church and like little elves you will wait for all the Christmas presents to arrive from generous parishioners.  You will help to unload cars and check in packages!  While you are there you can bring your homework to keep you occupied while you wait for packages to arrive.  Please dress warmly as the garages can get chilly at times.  Various dates and times start November 30 - December 7.

Medshare
3 HOUR time credit available if you volunteer for MedShare! Next Date TBA
MedShare is an organization that reclaims new, unused medical supplies (of all types) that local hospitals would ordinarily discard into local landfills. Through agreements with the hospitals, MedShare collects these supplies and brings them to their warehouse in San Leandro where volunteers sort and package the supplies for shipment to free clinics in the US and hospitals and clinics in developing countries or in areas suffering from natural disasters.  See how your service can make a real impact and save lives: MedShare - The Catholic Community Of Pleasanton

Donut/Cookie Sunday
The first Sunday of every month, Knights of Columbus offer donuts after the morning Masses and cookies after the evening Masses. This offers an opportunity for parishioners to spend time getting to know each other, and for teens to earn some service hours. You can sign up for one or more shifts. This is a fun way to earn some hours and get to know some of our parishioners too.
