CALL TO 1 PM PRAYER TODAY MARCH 19, 2020
FROM BISHOP DANNY GARCIA
CALL TO 1 PM PRAYER TODAY MARCH 19, 2020
FROM BISHOP DANNY GARCIA
Dear Brother Priests, Deacons, Men and Women Religious and all the Lay Faithful,
Today, on the Solemnity of St. Joseph, March 19, the protector of families and the Church, Pope Francis has requested that Catholics around the world today, pray the rosary together for protection from the coronavirus. The Holy Father will be praying the rosary from the Vatican at 9 p.m., which is 1 p.m. in California. In response to the call from the Holy Father, at 1 p.m. I will be praying the rosary from my chapel and I ask that Catholics around the Diocese join with me.
“Mary, Mother of God, health of the sick, leads us to the luminous and transfigured face of Jesus Christ and to her Heart, to whom we turn with the prayer of the rosary, under the loving gaze of St. Joseph, Custodian of the Holy Family and of our families.” (Pope Francis)
In Christ,
+Bishop Danny
