Church reopening June 19-20
Last week Bishop Joseph Brennan made the announcement that effective Saturday, June the 19th, we may open our churches for the celebration of Mass and for all Sacramental services at 100% of normal capacity without social distancing. His letter may be read here in its entirety in English and in Spanish.

The Bishop has rescinded the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass effective Sunday June 20th. From that day forward, all the Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Fresno will be obliged to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of obligation.

New indoor Mass schedule beginning June 19th-20th:
- Saturday Vigil: 4:30pm
- Sunday: 8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am in English, and 1:00pm in Spanish.
Sunday Mass will no longer be celebrated outdoors. Please join us next weekend inside the church. Overflow seating will be available in the hall. Frequent use of hand sanitizer and the wearing of face masks is strongly encouraged.

The 4:30pm Saturday Vigil Mass will continue to be livestreamed for those who are exempt from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to health concerns or because they are caregivers of someone who is homebound.

The Sacrament of Confession will be offered each Saturday at 3:00pm in the church, and no longer in between Masses.
Weekday Mass is celebrated on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 12:15pm in the church. Frequent use of hand sanitizer and the wearing of face masks is strongly encouraged.

Vaccinate to Protect Health of Yourself and Your Community

In partnership with the Catholic health systems and Catholic Charities throughout the Golden State, the Catholic Bishops of California urge all Californians to receive a vaccination to prevent the continued spread of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than two million people worldwide.

As the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has said, the vaccines now available and offered (Pfizer and Moderna) and those currently in the testing approval/process (AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson) are morally permissible and can be used in good conscience.

Beyond simply protecting their own health and safety, Catholics also have an obligation to protect their family, friends and community by vaccinating as soon as feasible in accordance with public health guidelines and protocols in their area. One should always consult with their doctor regarding any personal medical concerns.
