Dear friends. Every Priest has the opportunity of participate in Sabbaticals, time for studies, retreats, seminars or special programs for personal growing in spirituality or pastoral service. I am very grateful with Bishop Myron Cotta for giving me this opportunity to participate in a program that will help me to grow in the spiritual and pastoral aspects for benefit of our Parish. During my absence, Mass or a Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion will be offered every day at 6 p.m. in Saint Joseph and a Priest will be coming on the weekends for the Masses. Please, treat them well and make them feel at home. And please, pray for me. A VERY DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.- Monsignor John Armistead, Former Vicar for the Priest of the Diocese of Stockton and a very appreciated friend of Fr. Jorge Román Will be attending the Liturgical Services in Saint Joseph Parish on July 10 - 22. Please give him a warm welcome and make him feel at home.
