Adoration is offered the first Friday of every month, as well as one Wednesday of the month.

meet our "Adopted" Seminarian
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. He has kindly written two letters to our parish: 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. Here are some reflections from Robert upon his ordination to the transitional diaconate.

Catholic Position on Covid Vaccine: GET IT
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
