Welcome
Striving to be a grateful parish following Christ by loving God, and loving our neighbors as ourselves through our words, deeds, and thoughts.
Please disregard any requests for money and/or gift cards for Fr. Bernard. This is a scam!
"We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace."
― Pope Francis
Dear Friends of the Bareilles Family
Thank you for the outpouring of love and concern and we humbly ask that no more food be delivered at this time and no visits or phone calls after the chemo starts. Cards and art are fine as well as facebook and e-mail, which Linda now has both. For more information please contact Christy Bareilles at (707) 296-4096 e-mail is-- linda.kenbareilles@gmail.com
News From Betty Chinn
I hope you're all doing well and staying healthy! The quarterly reports for our organization are out. In the past few months, I've felt incredibly blessed by God to be able to help out so many people in our community. We've helped clients make appointments for COVID testing, offered meals, and have even opened a shelter for women in hopes of helping these women and children heal from the challenges they've faced in their lives. I've always believed that God provides everything I need and uses me in order to help those who need it most. Right now, we're hard at work planning a celebration for the Thanksgiving holiday! This year, we'll be passing out meals to those living in motels alongside our annual food baskets for families in need. During this difficult time and especially during the holiday season, I really want to share love and kindness with the less fortunate members of our community.
Blessings,
Betty Chinn,
Founder & Program Director, Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation

Religious Education
This year, due to COVID, Religious Education will begin with at-home instruction by the family. Instruction begins October 4th. Registration forms for the families have been in September bulletins and on the parish websites, to be turned in by email to sacredsaintccd@gmail.com or the church offices or register online at sacredheartweb.org or saintbernards.org. Assistance from parish catechists is available after Masses monthly for registered families in person or by phone. Contact Kim Farrell, DRE for more information; her phone number is on the bulletin.
For English speakers, we will be sending Baltimore Catechisms to each family that enrolls, and to you as well if you are interested in assisting in this way.
For Spanish speakers, we are still researching options to keep the programs as similar as possible. Our Faith and Life series is still our main text, but during at home instruction this text is much easier for parents: https://www.comcenter.com/program/429/

Mass Online
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have created a YouTube Channel for our local Catholic community. We record Fathers Bernard D'Sa and Rowell Gumalay saying Mass so those who are sheltering in place and unable to attend services will have access to Mass with their local priests. The video is shot in high definition. You can view it here or on any smart device (TV, phone, tablet or computer) that has the YouTube app. Be sure to turn on the HD setting to get the best picture and sound. You should also have the ability to make the video full screen. (Note: higher resolutions may not be available for the first several hours after uploading)
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notification of new posts. Don't forget to turn on the sound and adjust the video quality to your needs. You can click here or on the graphic below to go to our channel.

Phone Apps for Catholics
We have gotten some questions about finding high quality apps that support us in our practice of the Catholic faith. After much research, we are recommending that people visit CatholicApps.com
CatholicApps.com was created in response to the call to evangelization from Saint John Paul II, and then continued on through Pope Benedict, and of course the call for deeper evangelization from Pope Francis
