If you have registered your child/teen for our J.O.Y. Program in preparation for their First Communion or Confirmation, we will have ORIENTATION, this Sunday, September 26, from 2pm-4pm, under the big white tent in the upper parking lot. Information for this year's program will be given.

The “Women’s Health Protection Act” would impose abortion on demand nationwide at any stage of pregnancy through federal statute. Immediately upon passage, the WHPA would invalidate state laws banning abortion at any stage of pregnancy, including laws that prohibit abortion based on race, sex, disability, or other characteristic.

Our parish feast day Talent Show will be held on Saturday, October 2nd at 1pm in the upper parking lot tents. If you are interested in performing, please email Leslie Legacion in the parish office by Monday, September 27th! All are invited to come to see the wonderful talents of our parishioners!

National Migration Week will be celebrated Sept. 20-26 this year, culminating with the Vatican's World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Sunday, the 26th.

Today, in particular, we pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to inspire the mission and the humble service of our priests, and to inspire more men to answer the call to priesthood. We want to thank our priests for their faithful and dedicated service to our parishioners of this church.

The goal of the Francis Fund is to offer tangible assistance to those in need on a person to person basis and to offer spiritual services. People, who have nowhere else to turn, come to our doors seeking assistance with utility bills, overnight shelter, food and other needs. 

Thank you to everyone for your support of the mission and ministries of our parish. During the month of August, our average weekly collection was $19,197 (7% increase vs. July 2021).

This Sunday, there will be a second collection to reduce our $1.8 million-dollar parish debt. The sooner we pay off this debt, the more funds we will have available to support other vital services in our growing parish. Over the last 12 months, we were able to reduce our debt by $100,000 through your generosity in this monthly collection.

We did it! We made our goal! Our thanks to the 431 parishioners who turned in their gifts and pledges towards the 2021 ADA ($231,535). It's not too late to make your pledge or gift.

Our Red Zinfandel is a red wine grape, grown extensively in California since the mid-1800s, is grown in few other places in the world.

In order to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custos of Jesus, Pope Francis has established that, from today's date, the anniversary of the decree of proclamation as well as a sacred day to the Blessed Virgin Immaculate and Bride of the most chaste Joseph, up to December 8, 2021, a special Year of Saint Joseph is celebrated, in which every faithful following his example can daily strengthen their life of faith in the full fulfillment of God's will.

The Gospel of St. Mark – Cycle B On 29 November 2020, the Church begins a new liturgical year by celebrating the start of Advent. At the same time, we began to hear a new voice in our Sunday gospels. After a year during which we have regularly listened to Matthew on Sundays, we now attend to Mark. This shortest of all New Testament gospels is likely the first to have been written, yet it often tells of Jesus’ ministry in more detail than either Matthew or Luke (for example, the miracle stories at Mk 5:1–20 or Mk 9:14–29).

Every Catholic should be registered in a parish. Besides the active support and involvement that the registration enables, the parish registration is also a condition for many sacraments including Baptism and Matrimony. It is therefore important to register at your local parish as soon as possible.

In his third Encyclical, Fratelli tutti , Pope Francis addresses his renewed call to universal fraternity “to all people of good will, regardless of their religious convictions.” Amid the “noisy potpourri of facts and opinions” present in today’s world, the Holy Father suggests respectful dialogue and proposes that we answer with “a new vision of fraternity and social friendship" to build a better, more just, and peaceful world, with the contribution of all: people and institutions.
