Every baptized person has received the vocation to proclaim to proclaim something, to proclaim Jesus the vocation and mission to evangelize: to proclaim Jesus! -Pope Francis, February 2, 2020

Today, Bishop Alberto Rojas celebrated our annual Migrant Mass! Bishop Rojas shared in his homily, For years it has been the teaching of the church that they [migrant community] are always welcome with us, that every Catholic Church is a home for them. This is our understanding, this is our belief, this is what our faith teaches us. Thank you to the Office of Advocacy for putting together this Mass for us to celebrate the migrant community that captures what it means to be a universal church and enriches our diocese through their experiences and expressions.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;... where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
