Holy Hour for Immigrants
In dioceses across California — and indeed around the country — many parishes are inviting the faithful to come together for special Holy Hour services as a way to stand in solidarity with immigrants and with people living in detention centers. These Holy Hours, often held before the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic adoration or dedicated time of prayer and reflection, offer a profound means to embody compassion and accompaniment.
Am I not here, I who am your mother?

CA Bishops' Letter on Immigration

We invite our Catholic communities to follow the example of the Good Samaritan (cf. Lk. 10:34) and show compassion for our neighbors, especially the most vulnerable among us. Our parishes have the tradition of being havens of hope and solace for the lonely and the lost, embodying the peace that Christ gives. May Our Lady of Guadalupe, who reminded Juan Diego that he bore the image and likeness of God, remind all of us today and in the coming days that we are all beloved children of God, bearing his likeness, no matter our ethnicity or country of origin. May our care for each other speak to the dignity of every human being. 

Radiate Love

Celebrate Marriage and Families

Under the title “Radiate Love,” the bishops of California invite every Catholic to celebrate the beauty and goodness of marriage and family. We invite all families to radiate their love to the world—parents, grandparents, children, spouses, sisters, and brothers. This initiative will include monthly reflections, prayers, videos, and other materials to help families become witnesses of God’s love. 

Legislative Priorities

The California Catholic Conference (CCC) is the official public policy voice of the Catholic Church in California. We advocate with policy makers and the public to advance the Catholic vision of human life and dignity, to enhance the honorable and good in society, and to uplift those who are poor and vulnerable. We offer education to Catholics and the general public. We empower Catholics to put their faith into action consistent with Catholic teaching.
