In this time of pandemic, the Church is not deserted; it is deployed. You are the Church.
Happy Easter!

The State of California announced the reopening of churches on May 25, 2020. Public Masses will resume in the Stockton Diocese on the weekend of June 13/14. Livestream Masses from St. Joseph Church continue on Sundays at noon and on special occasions as announced in the Calendar of Events. Click on the image for more information.

  Composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori in the 18th century, this prayer for Spiritual Communion is especially applicable to livestream or online Masses (from Our Catholic Prayers).

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Please note that the Saturday evening Mass has been changed from the traditional time of 6:00 PM to the new time of 5:00 PM.

There is either a Communion Service or Mass every Sunday at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of the Valley Chapel in Coleville. The Communion Service consists of Morning Prayer and Liturgy of the Word with Holy Communion, and will fulfill the Sunday obligation. However, on the second Sunday of the month, there will be Mass celebrated at 12:30 PM instead of the 10:00 AM Service.
