Coronavirus
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all activity at the parish has been suspended. This includes Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Public Masses, St. Patrick's Dinner Dance, Religious Education and Confirmation classes, Stations of the Cross and Soup Suppers. This pause will continue until the 29th of March...and likely longer. The thrift store has also been closed for the duration of the crisis.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will continue to be available from 3:30pm to 4:30pm on Saturdays in the Baptistry, or by appointment.
The Open Pantry will have a 'Grab & Go' on Saturday, March 21st.
Let's continue to pray for God's wisdom and strength during this extraordinary time.

The Dec holidays kept the lab results from getting to our family in a timely manner. At this moment our daughter,Danielle, is making arrangements to take Claire to Sloan Kettering Hospital in NY where they specialize in this. Hopefully...Read more
Santa Barbara Region Fire Fund
The Woolsey and Hill Fires now out of control in the southern part of the Santa Barbara Region has forced thousands to flee with no end in sight. Highway closures have many stranded with nowhere to go and the immediate need for food and shelter will soon begin to become apparent. Two of our parishes have also evacuated and altho0ough no buildings have been reported lost, we all know that it will take several days to learn the full extent of any damage or injury.
