San Francisco Senatus Legionaries - Upcoming Events - Save these Dates!! (see also Calendar)

	We celebrate our new Pope, Francis & Easter Greetings to Legionaries throughout the world from the San Francisco Senatus
From the Easter Message of Pope Francis Dear brothers and sisters in Rome and throughout the world, Happy Easter! What a joy it is for me to announce this message: Christ is risen! I would like it to go out to every house and every family, especially where the suffering is greatest, in hospitals, in prisons … Most of all, I would like it to enter every heart, for it is there that God wants to sow this Good News: Jesus is risen, there is hope for you, you are no longer in the power of sin, of evil! Love has triumphed, mercy has been victorious! We too, like the women who were Jesus’ disciples, who went to the tomb and found it empty, may wonder what this event means (cf. Lk 24:4). What does it mean that Jesus is risen? It means that the love of God is stronger than evil and death itself; it means that the love of God can transform our lives and let those desert places in our hearts bloom.

*The San Francisco Senatus Acies at St. Cecilia's Church, March 24th, 2013*
St. Cecilia's Church, San Francisco, Site of Acies, March, 2013		Fr. Felix Lim Allocutio SF Senatus Acies, March 24th, 2013 St. Cecilia's Church, San Francisco
	"Four Ways for the Legion to Evangelize"
Fr. Felix: "The Legion must be the Leaders, in the Vanguard, for Evangelization during the Year of Faith" Here are four of his Acies suggestions for Legionaries: 1) Do Crowd contact at upcoming Civic and Religious Events. For example, join the Cinco De Mayo Celebration this year at Dolores Park in San Francisco. 2) Carry out an Intense Door to Door Drive at one Parish - ten Legionaries should pair with ten parishioners, and take a Parish Census. 3) Sponsor and participate in social events at your Parish. For example, provide a dinner with wine, and celebrate along with the parents of newly Baptized Children. 4) Many young Catholic Professional people are estranged from the Church, and do not participate in Mass, or support their Parish. Seek ways to meet these people and socialize with them. At the same time, we should increase contacts with Catholic Organizations such as St. Vincent De Paul. We might accomplish both goals by partnering with these Catholic groups, and providing dinners or parties for professional people, those with or without the Faith.

He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of San Diego on July 9, 1982 and pursued doctoral studies in canon law in Rome from 1985-1989. From 1985-1991, he served as an official of the Tribunal of the Diocese of San Diego.

The 8th Annual, most successful, Walk for Life in San Francisco, Saturday, January 21st, 2012!! “Walk for Life West Coast” this year followed a different route, along Market Street, the major thoroughfare, from the SF Civic Center down to Justin Herman Plaza the Walk for Life Website.... The Walk for Life Website
The Walk began with a rally at Civic Center Plaza, across from San Francisco City Hall, at 12:30 p.m. Guest speakers included former abortionist, Dr. Vansen Wong, and “Silent No More” representative, Jacquie Stainaker. After the rally, the walk proceeded down Market Street to Justin Herman Plaza, located at the Embarcadero.There were many preliminary activities, before the rally. The previous Friday evening, there was “The Interfaith Committee for Life Prayer Service” on Jan. 20th, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Gough Street at Geary Boulevard. Before the Walk for Life, there was morning Mass at 9:30 a.m, Saturday, Jan. 21st, at St. Mary’s. The Cathedral is located not far from the Civic Center, after which participants walked down to the Civic Center. A full discussion of the directions, speakers, route, transportation, accomodations, and Sponsors, is available on the web site. www.walkforlifewc.com. (Reprinted in part from Catholic San Francisco online, the Archdiocesan Newspaper) Catholic SF website
The Walk for Life, West, 2012 (The view from Twin Peaks) About 40 to 50,000 Marchers fill the length of Market Street, in San Francisco. There was almost a complete news blackout before this event - The San Francisco Chronicle had only one article by a columnist, entitled: "Better to ignore Abortion Protestors, than join them", very derisive and scornful. Also, the City Government hung pro-Abortion Banners along the length of Market street, the parade route, prior to the event. Despite the unfriendly atmosphere, participants were resolute, quiet, peaceful and clean, respectful of the police and authorities, non- violent, and none were arrested. There was a counter pro-Abortion protest, held the same day, attended by less than 100 people. Every year the Walk for Life increases in strength, and is responsible for creating a much more favorable image of the Pro Life Movement. See the web site for details. The Walk for Life Website

Mark Your Calendars: The ninth annual Walk for Life, next year, will be held on January 26, 2013!!
We invite you, an ordinary Catholic, to do more work for the Church, and Jesus and Mary, by joining the Legion

The Legion of Mary, San Francisco Senatus Family Rosary Crusade 2011 !! October 15th, 2011 The Family Rosary Crusade was held at the Civic Center in San Francisco, and was attended by about 2000 people, many priests, nuns, the Missionary of Charity sisters, Bishops Justice, Walsh, and Wang, and parishioners from Sacramento, Modesto, all over Northern California, and many other states. Fr. Lawrence Goode, Spiritual Director of the San Francisco Senatus, gave the Introductory Remarks, and Fr. Apostoli gave the keynote speech. The weather was ideal, a beautiful sky with some clouds and a gentle breeze, the most beautiful day of the year in San Francisco, thanks to Our Lady. Five Families and their children, each took turns leading a decade of the Rosary. Also delightful were the many mothers, fathers, and children present who came and said the Rosary. The San Francisco Senatus wishes to thank the SF Archdiocese, Knights of Columbus, EWTN, Eva Muntean of the Walk for Life, Fr. Apostoli, all of the loyal Spiritual Directors of the Legion Of Mary, the Cantors, the Choirs, those families who participated in saying the Rosary, the Diocesan Priests, The Dominicans and other Religious Orders, the Parishioners from many Churches, the San Francisco Police Department, the Recreational Park Police, The SF Park and Recreation Department, Sound and facilities management, those others who offered assistance, those Legion of Mary Officers who worked hard to make the Rally a success, those who contributed funds, and most of all, the citizens of San Francisco, for their kindness and assistance.
