Gary Chavez Gary Chavez (Duckdude@yahoo.com) Garden Grove, CA USA - Sunday, May 10, 2009 05:49:07 am (PDT) Just a quick note from Northern California to say it is nice to see Search is going strong. It is amazing that I have been gone from Orange County for thirteen years. I look back at my week end (Search 98) and the numerous ones that followed that I worked on, and time has flown by. To all of those who remember me through the good times and the bad, you were a major part of my life experience. I will never forget those New Years Eve parties in the Costa Mesa neighborhood that had no parking. To all of you that are new to search enjoy the time and the experiences you share together, they will carry you through the good times and the bad. Look through the Planca gifts, and treasure those. To those who might remember, please feel free to email, and I will catch up.-------Richard Horak (530) 671-1772 Richard Horak (rhorak1965@yahoo.com) Yuba City, Ca USA - Saturday, April 25, 2009 11:19:31 pm (PDT) How happy I am to know Search is still around, touching hearts and changing lives.

Refuge is for young adults between the ages of 21-35 and hopes to fulfill the following Mission Statement within our parish: "We hope to strengthen our Catholic identity by living our faith through scripture, joyful worship, compassionate outreach and fellowship with one another. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we plan to nurture the faith of one another to become mature followers of Jesus Christ and to gain a better understanding of what being a Catholic means."

I hope everyone is having a blessed Lent to prepare for Holy Week, Easter, ... and Divine Mercy Sunday! Have you all heard about Divine Mercy Sunday? The month I entered the Catholic Church fully, April 2000, St. Faustina was canonized, and the Sunday after Easter was more fully recognized as Divine Mercy Sunday! You guys have probably seen the beautiful image of our Lord as the risen Merciful Savior, with the rays of blood and water coming towards us from His Sacred Heart. And maybe also you have prayed the beautiful Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Well this retreat will be wonderful because we'll all learn what the Divine Mercy devotion is all about, and be prepared by the Oblates of the Virgin Mary to receive all the graces Jesus wants to shower on us for Divine Mercy Sunday! Hope to see you there! God bless. + DIVINE MERCY: INCOMPREHENSIBLE MYSTERY "...I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor: first - by deed, the second - by word, the third - by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is un unquestionable proof of love for Me. By these means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy..."

God has truly blessed Orange County by sending Search here. Although we are back in Cypress, we are not ignoring Search! The fact is, after retiring from nearly 40 years in industry, I'm teaching math and science for 7th and 8th grades at Blessed Sacrament School in Westminster and that is more than a full time job! Yet, it is really great (most of the time!)! It is such a blessing to see the large turnout of candidates. We're in awe at the number who show up for mananitas and closura! Thank God, Search is alive and well in OC! Joe, your Web Page is great! The prayer page is a wonderful & novel idea. We love each and every one of you! Keep up this wonderful work for God!

Well I have an update about my friend Maria I know some of you met her unfortunatly I don't have good news last time I e-mail her she said that she was feeling good but last night at our YA meeting I found out that she went to the emergency room and she is very ill they don't know what's going to happen she means a lot to me and I really miss her. She has gone throug this before back in '98 she almost lost her life they found she had cancer but she beat the odds and came out ok, so I know she is a fighter so waht I'm asking is to pray for her and her family and that I may soon be able to see her again, ofcourse God willing oscar ahumada (oscar.ahumada@edgucate.com) brea , CA.

Let us come together as one family and pray for those who lost their lives so unecessarily.

I had such a wonderful and eye-opening experience. I have found a group of people who accept and support me 100%. Since first attending Search events a little over a year ago, I have seen tremendous changes in my attitude, behavior, and goals for my future. Every Searcher and Team member I have met has become a part of my life, a friend and supporter. Thank you again to everyone on 128 and to those I will see for the rest of my time with this group. I love you ALL!! Brian Midkiff (bjmidkiff@msn.com) - Monday, January 22, 2001 at 17:49:16 (PST) hello Everyone!!

I made SEARCH # 115. All thanks to my best friend Priscilla Montero. It feels great being able to know how SEARCH of Orange County is doing. Seeing how it's constantly growing and being molded by the Lord. Joe, it is nice to see that you are keeping true to the SEARCH concept of reaching out to people. May the Good Lord bless you for what you're doing. Godsby with all of you. Chris Cervantes (catholichris@catholic.org) Great Falls, MT USA - Thursday, November 16, 2000 at 17:17:02 (PST) Greetings, Searchers! I made Search #74 way back in '87 with thanks to my good buddy Joe Rangel. What a thrill to 'stumble upon' this terrific web site, and I'm happy to know the group is still strong! Keep the faith ... Jim Governale (jgovernale@kkla.com) Glendale, CA USA - Friday, November 03, 2000 at 08:43:47 (PST) Andy and I think the website is great. It so nice to see what is going on. We miss you all very much. For those of you that do not know, we had our second son on April 5. Wesley is very much loved by his big brother Daniel. Carrie Batson Lewis (Clewis513@ispchannel.com) Lewes, DE USA - Saturday, October 14, 2000 at 05:20:21 (PDT) I think the Prayer page is a great idea. I think it would be helpful if those who leave a prayer on this page also let us know later what was the response to that prayer, whatever it was. I think it's important for us to see that prayer is important and does help. Just a thought. Tom Simmons (tlsimm@pacbell.net) Fullerton, USA - Friday, October 06, 2000 at 15:25:57 (PDT) The Prayer Request list is awesome and a very welcome addition to the wonderful Search OC site! As I've said before, for those of us that are busy with family life and can't make it to Follow Ups, weekends, etc., this is a great way to keep in touch with our Search family! I have personally experienced the power of prayer and know that it makes a difference and I am truly grateful for the Prayer Request List!!!! Suzanne Chavez (smchav@gte.net) USA - Tuesday, October 03, 2000 at 08:18:21 (PDT) What a blessing to be able to stay in touch through such a great website!!!!! Joe, thanks so much and God Bless you for your awesome contribution. To all those who love the Lord, and to all Searchers, past and present God Bless.

Stephen www.election-day.org Stephen Melvin (stephenrmelvin@yahoo.com) Tustin, CA USA - Sunday, September 24, 2000 at 22:12:40 (PDT) Just want to say that Search sounds like a great way to keep walking closely with the Lord. I feel that my family has been tested in our faith much since March 17th when my mom became disabled. (She is back on her feet now and should be home soon as of this writing.) We have had many hospital/medical things in my immediate family since. I know that the Lord is leading me because everytime something happens I seem to have the strength to deal with it. Oh that doesn't mean without crankyness, but we get through! Jesus, Prayer and believing supportive friends and family are the saving power that keeps my heart and soul focusing on Jesus through all that is happening! Remember that "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" Phil. 4:13 Keep the faith going through the wonderful Search program. Know that you are touching many lives!! Ann Frechen (frechen5@mintcity.com) Fowler, MI USA - Saturday, July 08, 2000 at 12:01:38 (PDT) Love the website!!!! Thanks Joe, for your commitment and volunteering to keeping it up to date! As a Searcher who is now busy being a wife, mom and working; it's great to be able to check in via the web! Gary & I continue to keep the community in our prayers! Suzanne Chavez (smchav@gte.net) USA - Tuesday, June 27, 2000 at 14:12:33 (PDT) Hey Joe, the web site looks awesome. Your doing a great job keeping up to date with everything. Be with Jesus. Peace!
