Sharks kick off homestand with 5-4 come-from-behind win
A six-game homestand started on a positive note Thursday as the San Jose Sharks rallied past the visiting Colorado Avalanche 5-4. Brent Burns, Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture registered goals in the third period after San Jose appeared to be headed toward an eighth loss in the past 10 games. San Jose erased a 4-2 deficit after two periods with a three-goal outburst in the final period.
Church welcomes new, ‘easygoing’ pastor
Since 1865, Gilroy's St. Mary Roman Catholic Church has had an important role in the life of the South Valley through its parochial school and numerous other ministries. With the retirement in December of longtime pastor and community icon Father Dan Derry, a new pastor was appointed to lead the huge parish (with 4,000 registered members and eight Masses each weekend). Due to his background and talents, The Rev. Robert Brocato seems well-suited for this challenging position.
