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.
Join California’s Bishops and Catholics from throughout the state for a sacred day of prayer, worship, and unity at the State Capitol.
On the Feast of the Annunciation — in the heart of Lent — Catholics from across California will gather in Sacramento, the core of our state’s civic life, to ignite a faith that serves: a faith rooted in prayer, strengthened in communion with our bishops and alive in the public square.
It is a day to unite all Catholics — clergy and laity, families and individuals — together with our shepherds in worship and visible hope.
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.
