Join Andrew A. Galvan, descendant of the native tribes of the Bay Area, in four weekly meetings, to explore the life and work of the Franciscan missionary to California, Junipero Serra, who in 2015 was canonized a saint. Scholars recognize Fr. Serra as a zealous missionary, a prudent administrator, and a fearless defender of the human rights of his Indian charges. 

August 14 is the feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe, the Polish Franciscan friar killed by the Nazis in Auschwitz in 1941, who was intellectual, priest, prisoner, hero, and martyr.

Join them online with the Benedict XVI Institute.

Archbishop Cordileone will ordain nine new permanent deacons for the Archdiocese on August 15, at St. Pius Church in Redwood City. The liturgies will be livestreamed.

"I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life. In the same way, however, I can and must state that there is no sin that God’s mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father" (Pope Francis, Nov. 20, 2016). Men who have been involved with abortion are invited to reflect and share.
