Dear Friends: The email accounts of several priests of the Diocese of Stockton have been hacked by people with no scruples that want to take advantage of the good will of our parishioners and contacts to steal their money. Some members of my Community have received emails signed with my name and with my electronic address asking them to make an electronic transference of money. Don´t answer them, but do report them to the authorities. As you know, I normally don´t use email except to send the Parish Bulletin, information on a Pilgrimage, or to send a requested document. In the case that I need a favor or I want to greet you, I always prefer a phone call instead of email. Thank you very much. Fr. Jorge A. Román

Todos los Martes a las 7 p.m. en la Casa Parroquial de San José a partir del 15 de Mayo.
