Update on Dr. Hargis
"The idea of you and the kids praying for me actually made me cry."
"Please tell the kids that prayed for me that I thank them forever."
Praise GOD!
Update on Refugees
- Saint Catherine's is now one of three hosting sites in our Diocese that will be housing families.
- Deacon John said it would be permissible for minors to help out on sight if they have an adult chaperone with them and conform to Diocesan policy.
- The church will only be housing families as a transitional facility. Each family we house comes to us if and only if they have someone here in the U.S. like a relative or family friend. Families staying at the church should be there no longer than 24 hours.
- The church receives families from both San Diego and Texas.
- There is a 24 hour warning for when families will be coming to the church (although in some cases warnings have come only 20 minutes before arrival)
- There is not a high need for help at this time because Saint Catherine's is the third location, we serve as an overflow. With delays and changes to the way things are organized, not many families have had to come through yet.
- If you would like to help Deacon John can be contacted at Saint Catherine's (951) 781-9855 x11
Congratulations to Our Newest Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion!
Opening Liturgy - Learning to Love Our Mass
Fr. Rafael Partida was not available to do the Opening Liturgy, but Father Ed Gomez from Saint James in Perris has graciously agreed to concelebrate with our Chaplain Father Paul.
If anyone has suggestions for a Priest they think would be good as a concelebrant, please let Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Pascua know.
