There has been confusion resulting from statements made by some U.S. bishops about the moral acceptability of certain vaccines. Those statements can be confusing for “good-Catholics.” To clarify the situation the California Catholic Conference, made up of bishops in California including our Bishop Cantú, have authored an article, “Catholic Moral Teaching and Tradition on Covid-19 Vaccines.” The article expresses the position that it is not only morally acceptable to be vaccinated, but also an act of Christian charity to do so. Knowing that Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI received the vaccination may also help you to navigate this “Catholic confusion." READ ARTICLE
Spring is in the air and spreading joy to those in need is what Outreach does!
This year Outreach assembled 432 Easter boxes for the St. Joseph Family Center. The Center is excited to be able to give the children in their area Easter boxes donated by St. Anthony Parish.
Delivery of the Easter boxes to St. Joseph Family Center took place on Friday March 26. Outreach also donated $500 to St. Joseph Family Center to help with food supplies in their community.
Thank you to everyone in the parish who supports Outreach with talent, time and treasure. God's plan to spread joy and help to others could not be done without your support.

As you might know, the Office of Vocations in the Diocese of San Jose has begun a new initiative where different parishes “adopt” and pray for a specific seminarian; and in kind, the seminarian prays for that specific community. We are pleased to announce that our adopted seminarian is Robert Lamorena. Although we are not able to meet Robert in person right now, due to the pandemic, he has kindly written two letters to our parish. Read Robert's letters: INTRODUCTION | HELLO. If you would like to help support Robert and his seven brother seminarians as they journey through their formation, you can do so here.
You are never alone. We are always here to receive your personal prayer request, celebrate Mass in memory of a loved one, or arrange a home communion visit. Add your prayer intentions at our online Prayer Chapel too. LEARN MORE
