Thank you everyone who gave to AMA during Lent. We exceeded our goal by over $6600 so all of that comes back to our parish. Thanks again for your support of the Diocese and Christ Child!
Happy New Year to you! In everything our faith tells us that we must always give thanks and praise to God, the Father Almighty. I am thankful to Him for His many blessings upon us as a parish family. I must confess that your love and support has been immense, thus, each and every moment, I never fail to marvel at what wonderful family we have here at Christ Child Parish and what wonderful people you are. I am very proud to have been your brother, friend and pastor. I reserve my thanks and appreciation to you all. Your strong faith, your smiles and laughter have always lifted my spirit. Your support and cooperation have always been a source of strength to help build our parish into a family of love and unity. I wish you and your family a blessed, happy, peaceful and healthy New Year in 2022. God bless you and your loved ones! Fr Efrain
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, When health restrictions are eased and we are able to start gathering together again, it is important for all of us to understand that things probably won’t immediately go back to the way they used to be. Diocesan guidelines for our parishes and diocesan activities will continue to be responsive to what health experts and government officials indicate. These guidelines will also be responsive to the collective wisdom of representatives from our Presbyterate, California Catholic Conference and Bishops of California… Specifics of when public Mass and others sacraments will resume and how they will be celebrated are being presently examined. We will be communicating these changes in more detail to you, as time approaches, but you can anticipate that: Attendance may be limited at any given Mass or Service. A general dispensation from the Sunday obligation may probably continue for all (but especially for those in the most vulnerable groups, as in the elderly, compromised immune systems, etc.). Social distancing will probably continue (e.g. omission of Holy Communion from the Chalice, only Holy Communion to be offered on the hand). These changes will continue to evolve over time. We will keep you informed: please know we are sincerely thankful for your patience and understanding as we prepare for this next phase. The well-being of you and your families continues to be our top priority. You remain in my prayers. Your brother in Christ, +Most Reverend Daniel E. Garcia
