Mexican food feast tonight at 6:00 p.m. in Tarantino Hall: Sunday, Dec. 16, for our annual "Deck The Hall" event!
Janice Russell, President of your Parish Pastoral Council, just texted your humble pastor that Dorinda Sears and her helpers are preparing a grand feast and that everyone is most welcome to join us. In addition to the lovely food, the singing, trimming the tree, we can also check out the books, music, and religious gifts for sale by the Daughters of Saint Paul, who have come to our parish this weekend! Some great items for Christmas gifts...

CHANGES IN THE CELEBRATION OF HOLY MASS
On the advice of a parishioner who is a doctor in the infectious diseases center at UCSF, we are making some changes to Mass:
On the advice of a parishioner who is a doctor in the infectious diseases center at UCSF, we are making some changes to Mass:
- Holy Communion will be distributed only under one species, the Body of Christ.
- We will not have the Precious Blood available until further notice.
- We will not exchange the Sign of Peace at Mass, to reduce the shaking of hands which can spread germs.
- We encourage the sick to please stay home, for their safety and the safety of the people in church.
- Purell dispensers are available in the vestibule of the church and along the sides, to reduce the spread of germs.
- As always, the Archdiocese of San Francisco asks those distributing Holy Communion NOT to touch non-communicants, as we as handling Sacred Food (the Body of Christ), and so looking the person in the eye and saying "God bless you" is what all EMs should please do instead, for children too young to receive the Body of Christ, and for non-Catholics who walk forward for a blessing.
Drop a $50.00 Safeway gift card in the Poor Box and help a needy family buy what they need for a nice Christmas dinner!
PLEASE HELP: Christmas Food Drive!
We encourage you to take part in our Christmas food drive if you can:
PLEASE NOTE: If you decide to take part in the Safeway gift card project, make sure your card is for $50.00 exactly, and write the amount on the card, so each recipient gets the same gift. The personal touch will be your Christmas card or your Christmas letter, wishing them God's blessings as we celebrate the birth of the Christ Child.
THE DEADLINE FOR RETURNING THE SAFEWAY $50.00 GIFT CARDS IS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19!
We encourage you to take part in our Christmas food drive if you can:
- purchase a Safeway gift card for $50.00 and then,
- return it via the Poor Box or the collection basket in a handwritten letter or Christmas card, wishing the recipient of your kindness a wonderful Christmas.
- if it's easier, you may drop off a check to the parish for the food drive, clearly marked, and we will purchase the Safeway gift card and write a Christmas card for you.

Helping California fire survivors:
Many of you have asked how to offer support to those who have lost homes and loved ones in these terrible fires, and research has led me to suggest Catholic Charities USA, which is also recommended by the Archdiocese of San Francisco. You may donate directly by going here. You may also visit the home page of Catholic Charities USA by going here. (In such emergencies, I always check with the ADSF to make sure we only recommend charities that are legitimate, to avoid scammers.) |

Welcome to St. Hilary! Church is not a building. It is People. A Community. A Family.
We come to church to find something we need—a connection, prayer, healing, a deeper faith—but leave with a desire to give back. We understand that the world does not offer real peace or true happiness. Our church is in the business of changing hearts. Let us change yours, so that you can change the world and put love to work.
We’re here whenever you need us, whether it’s to connect with others, pray for help or guidance, heal from life’s wounds, or grow in faith. Each of the tabs above - Connect, Pray, Heal, and Grow - will tell you how to access what we have to offer. And when you feel ready to give back, check out all of our volunteer opportunities under the Love tab.
If you are interested in learning about sacraments for children, please click on the PRAY tab, then check out Sacraments and Rites.
Contact us at info@sthilary.org, or at (415) 435-1122 or click here to sign up online.

Help your parish through the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal: our 2018 goal is $107,828 (about two thousand dollars less than last year).
ALERT: as of December 11, the good people of Saint Hilary's have donated $107,857 thus allowing us to meet our goal: thank you!
Any further donations to the AAA will come right back to your parish, helping us pay the bills and stay in the black.

Any further donations to the AAA will come right back to your parish, helping us pay the bills and stay in the black.
As most of you know, the money you donate to the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal not only helps your parish meet its goal, but we always receive a "rebate" for local use (this past year we received more than $8,000 for parish projects).
Too, your generosity makes possible programs in all three counties of the Archdiocese of San Francisco which help many people, including us: but these ministries only exist because good Catholic people like the parishioners of Saint Hilary pull together and work as one Body of Christ.
If the letter you received from me in the mail inspires you to donate now, or if you want to watch the lovely video and learn more, please go here and then select St. Hilary Church as your parish: we're located right between St. Gregory Church and St. Ignatius Church in the little window that asks you to PLEASE PICK A PARISH TO CREDIT.
Thank you for helping us meet our goal.
Thank you for enabling the Church of San Francisco to assist so many people.
Thank you for meeting my own donation of $1,000 to the AAA or exceeding it, if your circumstances permit!
May God bless you and yours,
~ Father Brown
