Priests Forgiving the Sin of Abortion
The Holy Father has announced that during the Year
of Mercy all priests will be able to forgive the sin of
abortion. Up to now, the local Bishop has had to
grant authorization to priests of his diocese to do so.
Since Bishop Blaire arrived in the Diocese of Stockton in 1999, he has given priests the faculties to forgive the sin of abortion and will continue to do so
after the Year of Mercy concludes in 2016.
The Diocese of Stockton also sponsors Project Rachel which is a retreat designed to bring spiritual
healing to those who have suffered the pains of
abortion.
If you are ill or in the hospital, please call 823-7197 to let us know, we can arrange a visit from a Priest, Deacon, or Sr. Ann.

.An Autumn Message About Child Protection
Autumn means back to school for children and back to
work for those who have been on vacation. Amidst the
hustle and bustle of this season, let us all keep sight of
the importance of keeping our children and young people
safe from danger.
Training requirements to safeguard children have been
established in parishes throughout the Diocese of Stockton. These training requirements help ensure that all children and youth experience a safe environment in all parish activities and events.
The Diocese of Stockton mandates that all people
who work with children and youth in our parishes and
schools must undergo child abuse prevention training through the guidelines established by the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This training
includes being fingerprinted and background checked and
completing an on-line training course entitled Shield the
Vulnerable. If you are planning on helping or assisting in
your child’s school, you are required to complete this
training.
For training information, contact your local parish/school
Safe Environment Coordinator.
For particular help and questions you may call: Linda Dillen, Manager of Benefits & Safe Environment for the
Diocese of Stockton, at (209) 466-0636.
