June 8, 2014 - Pentecost is the birthday of the church, the culmination of the Easter season that began on Ash Wednesday. Deacon John speaks about opening doors and diversity. Baptisms of 6 children today are the door to the church for them. The hardest door for us to open is the door to our heart, but the Spirit will work through our prayers to open it for us.

Preacher: Deacon John Kerrigan, CHaplain of the Catholic Community.

June 1, 2014 - Before Jesus ascends into heaven to be with God the Father, he directs his disciples, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." So too, we are called to evangelize- to bring joy to others.

Preachers: Fr. Xavier Lavagetto, OP and Teresa Pleins, Chaplain of the Catholic Commnity at Stanford

May 25, 2014 - A popular bumper sticker says, "God is my co-pilot". But Jesus doesn't want to be beside us, he wants us to take Him into our heart, to live within us. As we prepare for Pentecost, can we make that pledge today?

Preacher:Fr. Nathan Castle, OP, Pastor Director, Catholic Community at Stanford

This was Fr. Nathan's last sermon as Pastor of the CCAS. We will miss him and wish him Godspeed in his new role of serving God's people. Thank you, Fr. Nathan for your seven years of love, guidance and spirituality amongst us.

May 18, 2014 - The Catholic Community at Stanford celebrates the baptisms of Conor Banks, Eva Caldera, Steven Caldera III, Margaret Carter, McKenzie Chan, William Hart IV, Luke Furtado, and Natalie Pearce, and welcomes them into our community with great joy.

May 18, 2014 - Jesus teaches us how to see, and unlike Descartes, it is not as "I am", but through "We are". He loves us, and wants us to love each other. Having seen Christ, we have also seen God the Father.

Preacher: Fr. Xavier Lavagetto, OP, Parochial Vicar/Associate Director of the Catholic Community at Stanford

May 11, 2014 - Jesus provides abundance right at the moment when we thought it was impossible. The challenge is that we need to go to our darkest part of our life in order to be the part of cycle of death and rebirth. Look at where in this world is the hardest to live your life. Would you let God there or would you rather keep stumbling under your own power?

Preacher: Fr. Nathan Castle, OP, Pastor Director, Catholic Community at Stanford.

May 4, 2014 - In the Gospel reading, Jesus does three things: asks the disheartened disciples on the way to Emmaus about the events in Jerusalem and listens to them; interprets the scriptures for them, and reveals himself in the breaking of the bread. As Easter People, we must ask the Spirit for help when we are disheartend, and our hearts will burn with the light of Christ.

Preacher: Bishop Daly, San JoseArchdiocese

April 27, 2014 - Thomas believed Jesus had risen only after he saw the wounds inflicted by crucifiction. Tragedy can sometimes make disbelievers of us, too. But God is always with us, and that srength can allow us to bring His relief to others. On this Sunday of Divine Mercy, let us think of one way we can bring divine mercy to someone else this week.

Preacher: Reverend John Kerrigan, Deacon of the Catholic Community at Stanford

April 19, 2014 - We enter the darkened church tonight as if proceding into a tomb, symbolizing some part of us that is dead. We receive the new light of Christ, and we seek his grace in the form of seven virtues- the gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, KKnowledge, Counsel, Piety, Courage, and Awe. He is risen, and we are reborn.

Preacher: Fr. Nathan Castle, OP, Pastor Director, Catcholic Community at Stanford

April 18, 2014 - Through the Passion, Jesus experienced the full range of possible human experiences, from the good to the bad. His sacred heart expands to receive our trials and concerns, our joys and death itself. Jesus knows what it feels like and is with us, in us always.

Preacher- Fr. Nathan Castle, OP, Pastor and Director of the CCaS.
