Dear Parishioners, As you may have already noticed that things have been unpredictably and constantly changing because of the extra-ordinary circumstances that we have been facing the last few months. Consequently, after a few weeks of being allowed to celebrate our Masses and liturgy inside our church, due to the State's new restriction for the Riverside County, the Diocese has sent us Directives, asking us to move our Liturgies' celebrations outdoor once again. Also, becau...se of the day-light savings-time changes this coming weekend, we will also change our Masses' time to a later schedule. Starting this weekend, our Sunday's Masses will be as followed: Saturday Mass: - 5:00pm (no change) Sunday Masses: - 8:00am - 9:30am - 11:00am - 12:30pm (Spanish) - 5:00pm (no change) Please take notes of these changes as you make your plan for coming to Church this weekend. I've also posted on our Parish-Facebook account a few photos of the damages of the tents which have been used for our Out-door liturgies! We are planning to clean up and put away the damaged tents, and set up new tents for our out-door Masses and liturgies. If you are able, please come and help us this Saturday from 9:00am-12:00pm. The high winds may be powerful, but our Faith is strong! The tents may be destroyed, but our Spirit is not broken! The trails may be great, but nothing can hinder us from going forward on this Journey of the Cross! Let us put our trust in God's providence and come together to rebuild our Church-community with "all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds"(last Sunday's Gospel - Matthew 22:37). Peace and blessings, Fr. Hieu Nguyen, SVD

The high winds have blown up and destroyed all the tents(for outdoor Masses)! Thankfully, no one got hurt! "Jesus said to them: why are you terrified, oh you of little faith? Then He got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm" (Mt 8:26). With God's grace and providence, let us rebuild our church!
