“The Lord hears the cry of the poor” (Psalm 34:7), and we, the Catholic bishops of California, as shepherds of the flock of Christ, have seen and heard the growing distress among you, our migrant brothers and sisters. We want to assure you that we, and our mother, the Church, stand with you in these days of anxiety. You are not alone.

I am pleased to announce that we have hired Clare Lee to join our parish staff as our new Music Coordinator, effective Dec. 9, 2024. Clare will work part-time and report directly to Michael, our Director of Liturgy. Clare brings a wealth of experience and has some familiarity with many of our music ministers. She has served as a volunteer since October. Please give a warm welcome to Clare. We are very fortunate to have her on our team. Fr. Matt
