SAN DIEGO — The 13th annual Mass of Hope, organized by the Family Cancer Support Ministry at St. Gregory the Great Parish in Scripps Ranch, will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 4.

The sacrament of anointing of the sick will be administered during the Mass, which will be followed by a reception in the parish hall.

Those who attend the Mass are invited to honor a loved one affected by cancer or another serious illness by setting a candle by the altar; writing a prayer petition on a 3” x 5” card, which can be placed in a basket at the back of the church before the Mass; or submitting a photo to be displayed during Mass. Photos must be dropped off at the parish office by Friday, Feb. 3.

St. Gregory the Great Church is located at 11451 Blue Cypress Dr., San Diego 92131.
