Photo of the Week:
This is the season that migrant farmworkers and families arrive in our diocese.
The Migrant Ministry Teams welcome them and go out to meet them.
Please make them feel welcome into your parish and community.
“When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the stranger as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Lev 19:33-34).
Los trabajadores migrantes y sus familias están de regreso en la diócesis. Los y las catequistas ya están enseñando las clases a los niños y a los padres al aire libre en algunos de los campos.
Esta es la temporada en que los trabajadores y familias migrantes llegan a nuestra diócesis.
Los equipos del Ministerio de Pastoral Migrante les dan la bienvenida y salen a reunirse con ellos.
Favor de hacerlos sentir bienvenidos en su parroquia y comunidad.
«Si un migrante viene a residir entre ustedes, en su tierra, no lo opriman. El migrante residente será para ustedes como el compatriota; lo amarás como a ti mismo, porque ustedes fueron migrantes en el país de Egipto» (Lev. 19:33-34).

Catholic Rural Life
We share in God’s work through our human labor. Work is not drudgery that our Creator has imposed on us, nor is it a penance for our sinfulness. Work is a gift: human participation in the creative activity of God.
Catholic Rural Life
Change is natural if not always smooth as we move from one phase of life to another. The month of September brings us a change of seasons: The warmth of summer gives way to mornings with a touch of chill in the air; the evenings come earlier as the days shorten in the rhythm of the season.

Caring for the Whole Person
CWP is an initiative of the California Bishops and Catholic healthcare systems that supports parishes, community services, and families in ministering to those who are seriously ill or at the end of life.
The vision of Caring for the Whole Person is a continuum of quality and comprehensive (physical, emotional, spiritual) care for all people of all ages.
EWTN produced a 5 part miniseries in its Orange County Studios at the Christ Cathedral “Whole Person Care, living and dying in the State of Grace” which will make debuts on June 14-18 at 2:30 PT. Rev Father Scott Borgman, Deacon Harold-Burke Sivers, Patty Mouton, from the Alzheimer’s Association of Orange County will be in the show along with many others.
