Giving Tree
Thank you to all the parishioners who donated gifts, time and supplies to our Giving Tree. With your help, we were able to provide gifts for 1,182 children in our community and surrounding shelters. We want to thank all the volunteers especially Carol Jimenez, Nichole Israel, Geoff Israel, Ruben Gallegos, Greg De Loa Jr., Diane Rosentein, Addie Vahlensieck, Fran Ferguson, Claudette Alves and James Martinez. Special Thanks to JJ printing, Communications Test Design, Rositas Carneceria, Cardoza Enterprises, Starbucks and Henry Jimenez for their donations and support to this wonderful ministry. God bless you all. 

My Dear People of God,
As we remember the birth of Our Savior, Jesus, let us graciously welcome Him, the Son of the Father, into our hearts and homes. May the Infant find a resting place within our families this Christmas season and in the New Year. May the "light" of the Messiah, "the Christ," illuminate and dispel the "shadows" in our lives and the darkness in our troubled world. I pray that the Prince of Peace grant you that "divine" peace of mind and heart which is beyond our imaging. May this Peace of the ChristChild be present to all throughout the New Year, 2019.
During this Christmas Season, may our youth encounter Jesus born into this world for them. I pray they come to know the Son of Mary in a more profound way, now, and in the New Year. May they desire and seek a life-giving relationship with Jesus. May Our Lady of Bethlehem lead them to her Son.
I thank all of you for your love and support over the past nine months. I look forward to 2019 as we, together, move forward as the Diocese of Stockton.
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to all! Happy New Year!

Bishop Myron J. Cotta
