This Sunday we see a woman whose plight has been ongoing, and she seems to be at her wit’s end with no answers on the horizon. She clearly loves her sick daughter, so this mother — a Canaanite who is not a part of the chosen people of Israel — attempts the unthinkable because she’s run out of options. She humiliates herself with her desperate plea. Jesus himself seems not to respond at first, and the disciples consider her a nuisance and want her to leave so they can be about the rest of their day. Instead of becoming angry and stomping away or becoming bitter at the lack of assistance, she worships Jesus, despite what this would surely do to her reputation.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Is the Old Testament still relevant to us today?” or “Jesus came & we have the New Testament, so the Old Testament doesn’t matter anymore, right?” If you’ve asked any of these questions, join us for the Parish’s FREE, 8-week bible study “Hills & Valleys: A Study on the Old Testament”. The Study starts Wednesday, August 26th at 7pm. All classes will be held on Zoom. To register or for more details, click on the link.

With the onset and continued Corona Virus Pandemic, the Parish Office has been trying to contact you, our parishioners, to check on your well-being and to keep you informed about church activities (eg. Confessions, Adoration, Sacraments, and the opening of the Church/Holy Family Center). We are finding that home numbers are disconnected and we do not have emails for many of you. This makes communication with you, our precious and valued parishioners, very difficult. Please let us know if your contact info has changed.

Dear Faithful Parishioners, All parishes fall under the authority & responsibility of their Bishop, who provides the final authority to open or close a parish. Please scroll down to see the latest news from the Diocese of Stockton. As you can imagine, there are many strict guidelines that must be followed in order to protect God's people from this COVID-19. Rest assured we are working diligently in partnership with our diocese, under the direction of Bishop Myron Cotta, to reopen for the weekend of June 14th, Corpus Christi Sunday. If you’re wanting to help us open, we are in need of gloves, cloth masks, hand sanitizer, & volunteers for our new usher ministry. Please contact the parish office if you are able to help. To see the official diocesan information, please click on the title link. In Christ, Fr. David Dutra Pastor, St. Bernard's
