In April, I attended a workshop at the Diocese of Oakland. We need to stay informed and up to date regarding current changes, particularly those concerning the sacraments. It is beneficial to know – or to refresh our memory of – the specific requirements for each sacrament. For instance, regarding Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, Weddings, and even funeral services. It is good to retain all this information so that we may inform – and even educate – our families. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding toward me; I am very happy and pleased to serve this community of St. Raymond’s. May God bless you, and please pray for me so that I may continue to serve God and you for many years to come.
