The Confirmation students of St. Joseph, St. Daniel and St. Boniface Churches enjoyed an amazing retreat over the weekend of October 1-3. The Pan de Vida retreat, focused on the sacrament of the Eucharist, included mass each day, several great talks by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, praying the International Rosary, Adoration, personal sharing and reflections on faith in small groups and large culminating in intense personal encounters with Christ in the Eucharist.
Beginning immediately, Daily Mass will be livestreamed only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekend, only the 8:00 am Sunday Mass in English and the 12:00 pm Mass en Espanol will continue to be livestreamed. Beginning Sunday, June 27th, English Mass at St. Boniface in Nicolaus will begin at 10:00 am.
UPDATE: The California State Senate has approved, and now the Assembly will be voting on two life-threatening bills. I urge Catholics to tell their Assemblymember to oppose these two bills that target the vulnerable lives of children and the frail elderly. During this time of pandemic, we have come to understand how connected we are to one another. We have learned how much children and those with vulnerable health depend on us for care, compassion and companionship. Both bills, originating out of the State Senate, violate this covenant of life and love by discarding those who are seen as useless and unnecessary. The Pandemic has made clear that we are all essential in the eyes of God.
