ECUMENICAL PRAYER VIGIL

You may have seen that the LA Dodgers honored the so-called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), which mock religious sisters, Jesus, and our Catholic faith.
The California bishops condemned this action in a statement, but now, a State Senator has invited SPI to be honored on the floor of the California State Capitol on Monday, June 5th.

Encouraging the ridicule of our faith - and, in a particular way, mocking religious sisters who sacrifice their lives as brides of Christ - is unacceptable.
Join Bishop Soto, women religious, and our evangelical brothers & sisters for an ecumenical prayer vigil:
Monday June 5 , 2:00 pm
California State Capitol
West Steps
The event's tone is not political or confrontational but meant to be peaceful, hopeful, and honoring of the incredible work that religious sisters have done for so many years in California as a witness to the beauty of our faith. Please bring rosaries, and leave protest signs at home.

A BIBLICAL WALK THRU THE MASS
Over the last few months, we have been asked to repeat the series Deacon Rick presented last year by Edward Sri, A Biblical Walk Through the Mass. Professor Edward Sri walks us through the mass and points out the biblical roots for each part of it. The course will be offered Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 and Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00. The series will begin Wednesday morning June 28th and Thursday evening June 29th. You can register online at the parish website or contact Dcn Rick at 530-273-2336 x3201 or faithformation@stpatrickgrassvalley.org.  The fee for the series will be $35. In order to have the necessary books available, please register by Friday June 16th.
