Newly Ordained: Deacon Gerardo Vargas

The parishioners of our parish welcome Dcn Gerardo Vargas who was newly ordained on August 23. We invite you to join us in celebrating this special occasion. Our diocese hosted a Livestream of the Ordination Liturgy 8/23 where Bishop Alberto Rojas ordained Dcn Vargas and eight other men of the diocese to the Permanent Diaconate at Sacred Heart Parish in Rancho Cucamonga.

On Sunday, August 24th at the 10am, 12pm and 2pm Masses here at St Catherine's, we invite everybody to gather at the front plaza for refreshments following the final blessing at those liturgies to welcome our newly ordained Deacon Gerardo Vargas! All are welcome to come together in fellowship and celebration.

Welcome Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims!

St. Catherine’s is a Pilgrim Site for the Jubilee Year. We offer confessions every Wednesday 4-5pm and Saturdays 2:30-3:30pm.

Jubilee Mercy for the Homebound

We have many faithful people who would like to do a pilgrimage but unfortunately cannot do it due to illness, imprisonment, elderly, or those providing continuous care for the sick, etc. Therefore, our parish has placed a Jubilee Year 2025 book on the table by the baptismal font in the church. If you are an individual who can make the pilgrimage on behalf of someone, you may sign your name and the names of the incapable, ensuring that the necessary requirements have been met for the reception of an indulgence. Please ensure that all requirements for a Plenary Indulgence have been met before entering a name and write only the name of the one person receiving the indulgence. See the linked document below on the requirements for the Plenary Indulgence:

The Holy Father's Prayer Intention for August

For mutual coexistence: Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons.

You are invited to answer and join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention during your Jubilee 2025 pilgrimage.
