COVID RESTRICTIONS
In compliance with the mandates of the State of California and the Diocese of Oakland, masks are required at all indoor gatherings. There will be overflow seating in the Grand Hall of the Community Center and all services will be live-streamed (link above).
As soon as effective vaccines for the Coronavirus were made available, Pope Francis urgently asked all of us to be vaccinated. He said:
Getting the vaccines that are authorized by the respective authorities is an act of love.
And helping the majority of people to do so is an act of love.
Getting vaccinated is a simple yet profound way to care for one another, especially the most vulnerable.
We will not be able to defeat this pandemic, which has assailed us now for two years
and has taken the lives of nearly 800,000 fellow Americans, until the majority of our citizens have been fully vaccinated, including children and especially the elderly who are most vulnerable.
 

Dear Friends,
Christmas Blessings to you and all our parish family.
        Amanda Gorman is the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate. The poem she delivered at the inauguration of President Joe Biden on January 20^th of this year, “The Hill We Climb,” captured the imagination of the country and generated international acclaim for the 23-year-old African-American poet.  Her home parish of St. Brigid’s Catholic Church in Los Angeles beamed with pride over the achievements of their young parishioner. In a recent interview for Time Magazine, Ms. Gorman reflected on the past year with its challenges and frustrations (which certainly don’t need to be enumerated in a Christmas letter that should offer “tidings of comfort and joy.”) She said: All of us have what I might call touch trees. They say when you’re lost in a forest, one thing you can do is to identify a tree that you will revisit as you wander and try to find your way back. For me, this year has really meant identifying my touch trees, nourishing them and revisiting them. (READ ENTIRE LETTER HERE).
