San Leandro Public Library

Have you ever attended a Catholic wedding, funeral, or Mass and wondered what was actually taking place?
Even though I grew up Catholic, it wasn't until later in life that I began to understand many parts of the Mass, including its primary purpose and the meaning behind its prayers, gestures, symbols, and traditions. Learning these things completely changed the way I experience it.
That's why I'm offering a free class at the San Leandro Public Library called "A Friendly Introduction to the Catholic Mass."
The class is intended for anyone who is curious about the Catholic Mass, a form of worship that has been celebrated for nearly 2,000 years, or for those who have attended a Mass and never really understood what was happening.
My goal is simply to explain the Mass in a clear, approachable way—the way I wish it had been explained to me years ago.
Whether you're Catholic, from another faith tradition, or simply curious, you're welcome to attend.

College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
