Calvary and Catholic Charities Center for Immigration Legal and Support Services invites you to use your talents, skills, compassion and commitment to volunteer. We are actively seeking volunteers in five categories to help Center for Immigration staff serve vulnerable migrants in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties:
- Lawyers, in partnership with dedicated staff attorneys, will work with clients in deportation or in guardianship proceedings.
- Application assistants, under the supervision of expert staff, will prepare DACA and Naturalization applications.
- Office volunteers will assist with mail sorting and filing, phone calls and other office tasks.
- Spanish-speaking bilingual translators and interpreters will assist our clients and staff.
- Volunteers will mentor our unaccompanied minors, most of whom are Spanish speaking.
Volunteering locations:
• 1390 Mission Street, San Francisco
• 36 37th Avenue, San Mateo
• Remote locations

During this season of Easter, we have been going through a sermon series on being "resurrection people." But we are resurrection people, NOT perfect people. Resurrection people can still make mistakes, fail, fight, and flounder. But the good news of resurrection is that we can rise to try again. Have you made a mistake, fought with family, broken a promise, or done anything wrong since Easter? Join us on Sunday and experience grace, for we are resurrection people, and grace abounds!
When Paul and Silas preach the reconciling love of God in the capital city, the dominant society punishes them for "turning the world upside down.” Today, in our currently-irreconcilable culture, when we preach God’s inclusive love, we should expect no less! Shall the fundamentalists win? Or can God call on a more loving publicist, like you?
Today we'll hear the story of Stephen in the Book of Acts. He's known as the first martyr for the Gospel. The root of the word 'martyr' comes from the word 'witness'. Maybe we can't all be (or don't want to be) martyrs, but what does it mean to take our witness seriously?
Today begins a month of stories from the early, post-Easter church from the Book of Acts. In today's story, Peter and John heal a man outside the Temple. The man was begging for money. Peter offers him something else, if only he'll fix his attention to see it.
Mark's account of the resurrection doesn't include an appearance by Jesus. The gospel originally ended with a preposition, surely causing his 8th grade English teacher to weep. Mark's gospel ends with the women fleeing the tomb in terror. But that's not the end of the story.
How often are our lives like that? When have you had a chance to write a different ending to a part of your story?
As we think about peace, it is important that we don’t only see peacefulness and quiet as the goal. Peace often requires a stand. Sometimes conflict is required to break through injustice so you can get to peace.
If we want to be blessed as peacemakers, we will need to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, to stand in opposition to the violence and injustice of the world, and to know that peace can only come from deep love, the kind of love you have to summon for those you don’t know, don’t understand, or don’t like.
The events of Palm Sunday flew in the face of all that seemed civil and polite for an occupied state of the Roman Empire. How dare this Jesus and his common followers mock the imperial parade celebrating the power and plunders of war? Who was this Jesus that compelled the people to wave palms and throw their cloaks on the ground in welcome? Join us on Sunday as wave our palms, sing our hosanna, and meet this Jesus who comes riding on a colt.

The storms of life don't cease. At any given moment, every human being alive is either 1) sailing into a storm, 2) navigating through a storm, or 3) coming out of a storm. Those are our only choices. Storms happen. This Sunday, we explore how to anchor ourselves to peace.
