CHURCH STILL CLOSED
My dearest parishioners,
The governor has not changed his lockdown orders yet and Masses continue to be outdoors.- Sunday Masses continue to be at 10:00 AM at Boron; 12:00 Noon English at Cal City; and 1:30 PM Spanish at Cal City.
- Daily Masses are at 12:00 Noon Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
- Fridays are kept free for special liturgical celebrations, such as matrimonies and memorial services. Every other Saturday will be free for the same reason.
- Confessions are every two weeks from 3:00-4:00 PM in Cal City, in the Cry Room (limited to 10 people at a time inside the church).
I appreciate those that have been coming regularly and supporting their parish. I think we are making a tremendous witness to the community at large. I plan to tighten security measures around our collection process. We all need to be vigilant while we are exposed outside.
Last of all, being the new year, let us consider a resolution to do something to enhance our worship experience in 2021. Perhaps it could entail being more aware of inviting the Lord into our daily activities, and/or putting our daily projects under the care of our Blessed Mother. Just examples of what I am referring to.
Let's continue to pray for an end to this exile and for protection of our church and the people. God bless each and every one of you!
Fr. Kris
On December 8, 2020, a new Apostolic letter, Patris Corde (With a Father's Heart) was issued by Pope Francis in remembrance of the 150th Anniversary of declaring Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church and a "Year of Saint Joseph" has been proclaimed ending on December 8, 2021. More information from the Diocese of Fresno's website.

IGLESIA TODAVÍA CERRADA
Mis más queridos feligreses,
El gobernador aún no ha cambiado sus órdenes de encierro y Masses sigue al aire libre.- Las misas dominicales siguen siendo a las 10:00 AM en Boron; 12:00 Mediodía Inglés en Cal City; y 1:30 PM Español en Cal City.
- Las misas diarias son a las 12:00 del mediodía los martes, miércoles y jueves.
- Los viernes se mantienen libres para celebraciones litúrgicas especiales, como matrimonies y servicios conmemorativos. Cada dos sábados será gratis por la misma razón.
- Las confesiones son cada dos semanas de 3:00-4:00 PM en Cal City, en la Sala Cry (limitada a 10 personas a la vez dentro de la iglesia).
Aprecio a los que han estado viniendo regularmente y apoyando a su parroquia. Creo que estamos dando un testimonio tremendo a la comunidad en general. Planeo reforzar las medidas de seguridad en torno a nuestro proceso de recolección. Todos tenemos que estar atentos mientras estamos expuestos afuera.
Por último, siendo el año nuevo, consideremos una resolución para hacer algo para mejorar nuestra experiencia de adoración en 2021. Tal vez podría implicar ser más consciente de invitar al Señor a nuestras actividades diarias, y/o poner nuestros proyectos diarios bajo el cuidado de nuestra Santísima Madre. Sólo ejemplos de lo que me refiero.
Sigamos orando por el fin de este exilio y por la protección de nuestra iglesia y del pueblo. ¡Dios bendiga a todos y cada uno de ustedes!
P. Kris
