Pentecost
Dear All Saints’ parishioners,
This coming Sunday (June 5th) the Church Universal celebrates the Feast of Pentecost, the occasion when Jesus’ first followers, gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish Feast of the Weeks, also known as Shavuot—or Pentecost, in Greek—were powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed the Good News of Salvation in Jesus to the multilingual and multicultural crowd gathered in Jerusalem for the feast, and each of them heard the powerful message spoken in their own language.
Many consider this day as the Church’s birthday, since it was from this moment on that the first followers of Jesus’ New Way, filled with the unstoppable power of the Spirit, began their relentless proclamation of Jesus’ radical Way of Love, both in words and deeds, and as a result, the number of followers grew exponentially in a short time, as told in the Book of Acts of the Apostles.
We are all grieved and bewildered by the recent news of senseless and horrendous shootings taking place in this country, and the war waging in Eastern Europe. However, and precisely because of this hour of deep pain we are all going through, it becomes more imperative than even that we ask for the Holy Spirit’s comfort, discernment, and powerful inspiration, so that our words and actions are guided by Him in this crucial hour.
Let us celebrate Pentecost with all our being this coming Sunday and always, and show forth in our daily lives that we are worthy 21st-century followers of those who were so powerfully filled with the Spirit on this Day.
Father Carlos E. Expósito.

At this meeting we will present the 2023 Parish Budget, provide a report on 2022 and look forward at the year to come.
Prior to the meeting there will be a light lunch and cutting of the Epiphany cake.
Guest Preacher This Sunday
-- Canon Ian Elliott Davies
This Sunday, April 14 please welcome our guest preacher, Canon Ian Elliott Davies.
Canon Ian Elliott Davies was born in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales and educated at the Universities of Wales and Cambridge. He graduated in 1985 with a BD Honours degree in theology before going on to Ridley Hall, Cambridge to pursue postgraduate study in systematic theology. He was ordained Deacon in 1988, then priest in 1989 in Llandaff Cathedral, South Wales and served in two parishes in the Diocese of Llandaff before being appointed as the Assistant Priest at All Saints’ Margaret Street in the Diocese of London where he served for seven years. In March 2002 he was elected by the Vestry of St Thomas the Apostle, Hollywood, as the eighth Rector. In 2014 he was made a Canon of the Diocese of Los Angeles and appointed Area Dean of the Incarnation (III) by Bishop Jon Bruno in 2015.
Canon Davies would dearly love to see a relationship develop between our two parishes. There are precious few Anglo-Catholic parishes on the West Coast of the USA and to share prayer and fellowship with the clergy, people and parish of All Saints’ San Diego would encourage our common witness to the sacramental life of Christ’s Holy Church immensely, as well as benefitting our respective parishes.
He looks forward immensely to visiting All Saints’ San Diego this Sunday and ask your prayers as he prepare to preach and travel to us!

Service of Tenebrae Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00pm
One of the liturgies that has for centuries been part of the Catholic tradition of the church, but has somehow been neglected by some churches is the Service of Tenebrae, which is at present observed on Holy Wednesday by the Episcopal Church.
Although Tenebrae has not been observed at All Saints’ San Diego for quite a number of years now, it would be a worthwhile addition to the liturgical richness and tradition of our local church, and we will be observing it this year.
Tenebrae is an office structured around psalms, readings, and responsories. Its distinctive
ceremony includes the use of fifteen lighted candles (or seven in the shorter form we will be using), set on a special stand. One candle is extinguished as each of the appointed psalms is completed. The remaining candle, symbolic of Christ, is left lighted at the end of the final psalm. But it is carried away to be hidden, which signifies the apparent victory of the forces of evil.
A sudden loud noise in made at the end of the service, symbolizing the earthquake at Christ’s death. The lighted candle is then restored to its place, suggesting Christ’s eventual triumph.
Let us take part in this impactful and spiritually rich service on Holy Wednesday this year!
