Taking Care of One Another

Last week at all Masses, we announced the following from the Diocese of Orange which was released on December 30th:

“With more people testing positive for COVID-19 in these days, it is strongly recommended that – to help prevent to the spread of COVID-19 – all who enter this church wear a mask while inside, whether one is fully vaccinated or not.”

We also recommended that those who are not feeling well should stay home and livestream the 9am Mass each Sunday. We also reiterated that we are blessed here at St. Timothy because we have something most parishes do not have: an open courtyard where folks can sit for Mass, can hear the words and music, can see through the windows, can participate in the collection, and are brought Holy Communion.  Let us take care of one another!

Words of Gratitude as the Christmas Season ends

With this weekend’s celebration of the Baptism of the Lord, the Christmas Season officially comes to an end. We will briefly enter into Ordinary Time until Ash Wednesday, March 2 when the Lenten Season starts. Before we leave this season, though, it is time to give thanks for:
  • The generosity of all who support our parish ministries with your financial gifts each week

  • The generosity of so many parishioners who supported the St. Vincent de Paul Society Giving Tree

  • The generosity of so many who regularly support our parish Food Pantry
