St. Anthonys's Catholic Church will be hosting the Biblical Restorative Justice and Practices Training on April 29th from 8:00AM to 3:00PM. This workshop will teach participants the basics of Restorative Justice and Practices from a biblical perspective. It will also prepare participants to become leaders, advocates and train-the-trainer facilitators to pass these methods and expertise on to others, who may then become trainers themselves. To register, please go to https://www.sfarch.org/dsorj-training/
The Diocese of Stockton has become aware that Mr. Leo Suarez, formerly a priest of the Diocese but now dismissed from the clerical state, is celebrating Masses and Quinceañeras in private homes and halls in the Diocese of Stockton. The Christian faithful are advised not to participate in these events or any ministry outside the parish church, even if performed by a priest once ordained for the Diocese of Stockton, because it ruptures their communion with the Catholic Church and may, in some circumstances, result in the invalid administration of a sacrament.
La Diócesis de Stockton se ha dado cuenta de que el Sr. Leo Suárez, ex sacerdote de la Diócesis, pero ahora destituido del estado clerical, está celebrando Misas y Quinceañeras en casas y salones privados en la Diócesis de Stockton. Se aconseja a los fieles cristianos que no participen en estos eventos ni en ningún ministerio fuera de la iglesia parroquial, incluso si lo realiza un sacerdote una vez ordenado para la Diócesis de Stockton, porque rompe su comunión con la Iglesia Católica y puede, en algunas circunstancias, resultar en la administración inválida de un sacramento.

Bishop’s Monthly Reflection
March 2023
“Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
My dear brothers and sisters, the Church, during these 40 days of Lent, encourages us to embrace the invitation of Jesus to turn away from sin and to take to heart his words of life - the Gospel.
St. Leo the Great, in one of his sermons, reminds us:
“The whole Church rejoices in the forgiveness of sins. Initially, individuals are made new by the rebirth of baptism. Yet there is still required a daily renewal to repair the shortcomings of our mortal nature, and whatever degree of progress has been made there is no one who should not be more advanced. All must therefore strive to ensure that on the day of redemption no one may be found in the sins of their former life.”
Brothers and sisters, we must confess and renounce the sins of our former and present lives in order to experience the freedom that Christ promises to those who love him. We must strive to stand against those stubborn and reoccurring sins that have no place in the life of a Christian.
It is the power and authority in name of Jesus, the Risen Christ, that the baptized have the capacity to confess and renounce sin in their lives. In regard to God’s plan for us, sin is not intended to have an upper hand and power over us. As St. James mentions, we are to: “Submit to God and resist the devil.” The prophet Amos reminds us: Seek good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord will be with you.” (Amos 5:14) We must remind ourselves that we, who are baptized in the victory of the death and resurrection of Jesus, have the power to resist temptation, sin and the devil. This is reinforced when we encounter, and are revived, by the power of risen life at the celebration of the Eucharist, the Mass. As we come to worship our God during Lent, let us pray that the he will deliver us from every evil…free us from sin and keep us safe from all distress.
Together, as a diocese, let us strive to grow in holiness. As we journey through this season of grace, may we be surrounded by the freedom and power of God’s saving presence. May the Lord, in his mercy, rest his hand upon each and everyone of you.
“For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
In the Peace of Christ,
Bishop Cotta
