“Repent and believe in the Gospel.” My dear brothers and sisters, the Church, during these 40 days of Lent, encourages us to embrace the invitation of Jesus to turn away from sin and to take to heart his words of life - the Gospel. St. Leo the Great, in one of his sermons, reminds us: “The whole Church rejoices in the forgiveness of sins. Initially, individuals are made new by the rebirth of baptism. Yet there is still required a daily renewal to repair the shortcomings of our mortal nature, and whatever degree of progress has been made there is no one who should not be more advanced. All must therefore strive to ensure that on the day of redemption no one may be found in the sins of their former life.” . . . Click on the image to read the complete message.

Dear Parishioners and Benefactors: During the first winter that I experienced when I first arrived at St. Joseph’s Parish, I was greatly surprised that I carefully observed the snowflakes that fell on my cape, as I realized that they were in the shape of stars that were so ornate, that they seemed to be the work of an expert jeweler, and I was also surprised how being so small all together came to form huge mountains and completely cover roads, valleys and houses. After many years of severe drought in California, we are now experiencing an extraordinary abundance of snow, the likes of which have not been seen before, especially in Mammoth Lakes since 1987. This is a mixture of beauty and horror. While some enjoy the beautiful wintry landscapes and take the opportunity to take part in snow sports, but on the other hand, it is regrettable that there are roads that are closed due to avalanches, there are car accidents, power and internet outages.. .
