The County Public Health Officer has requested that we make some temporary adaptions to our celebrations of the Eucharist, to foster the health of our worshiping communities. For the duration of the Flu and Cold season, Bishop Cantú has asked all parishes to adapt the following temporary liturgical adaptations: 1. The Blood of Christ will not be offered during Holy Communion; 2. Holy Communion will be distributed only into the hands of communicants: 3. We will not hold hands during the Lord’s Prayer; 4. The Sign of Peace should be adapted so as to allow for a greeting that does not involve shaking hands or touching.

Thank you to everyone who supported the mission and ministries of our parish during the month of September. Our average weekly collection was $18,869. You also generously donated to various important causes in our September (2nd Collections) in the amount of $20,136 ($4,027 a week.) This brings our September total to $22,896 a week.  We budgeted our Sunday Offertory income for the first month of the new fiscal year (13 weeks) at $260,000 and received $259,545. Any additional income helps us to pay-down our $2.3 million debt.  As you know, we are totally dependent upon you all our parishioners for our livelihood.
