Clergy Seminar in Alhambra
View previous posts

Fr. Marc and Tim Mellor attended the West Coast Clergy Seminar in Alhambra, California this week. Bishop Anthony shared with the clergy his readings about modern society and how people have become disillusioned and are seeking stability, security and spirituality. This is in contrast to the powerful people in the world who seek to control society military, money and media. Bishop Anthony loves alliteration. Fr. Marc had a personal conversation with HIs Grace in which he shared news about Saint John's. Bishop Anthony would like to visit but still no time has been set.

Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Whether it is to God, or to those around us, saying 'thank you' is important. In letting those around us know how thankful we are for them, for what they do for us, we are also showing gratitude to God. Because it is God that puts people in our lives and it is God that gives us blessings in ways we may not always realize. In humbling ourselves before others, we are an example for our children and those around us. In showing gratitude, we are also expressing love. Love of God and love of neighbor. The love Christ has for us.” - Subdn. Tim Mellor, January 18, 2026-

"One Accord"

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

What matters to me is the pain of the person before me. When I come into contact with another’s pain, I can transform it into the ‘body of prayer’ on their behalf. Their pain reverberates within me—it hurts me without becoming my own pain—but I experience it, and this makes my prayer for them possible, just as I pray for myself when I am in pain. - Mother Siluana of Romania in 'God, Where is the Wound, pg. 95.
