Please join us for a Respect Life Rosary on the second Sunday of each month.  We meet after 9am Mass, at the Grotto to the Unborn in the church garden behind the church.   For more information please contact Jane Walker at (925) 934-2129.

Bishop Michael Barber, along with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has called us to support the nation-wide, year long campaign to help women in unwanted and crisis pregnancies, Walking with Moms in Need - A Year of Service.  
May God bless you for helping these moms to choose an alternative to abortion.

A Prayer to St. Joseph, Defender of Life
Dearest St. Joseph,
at the word of an angel,
you lovingly took Mary into your home.
As God’s humble servant, you guided
the Holy Family on the road to Bethlehem,
welcomed Jesus as your own son
in the shelter of a manger,
and fled far from your homeland
for the safety of both Mother and Child.
We praise God that as their faithful protector,
you never hesitated to sacrifice
for those entrusted to you.
May your example inspire us also
to welcome, cherish, and safeguard
God’s most precious gift of life.
Help us to faithfully commit ourselves
to the service and defense of human life
—especially where it is
vulnerable or threatened.
Obtain for us the grace
to do the will of God in all things.
Amen.
