The CCC is closely vetting more than 2,400 introduced bills; EANS funding for private schools should be available soon; Pope Francis' message about suffering; opposing the federal 'Equality Act,' and the morally acceptable Johnson & Johnson vaccine in this week's Insights.
COVID Vaccinations
California Bishops, Catholic health care ministries and Catholic Charities work together to promote Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as morally acceptable and medically safe and effective.
LATEST NEWS
Catholic and other private schools will soon have the opportunity to apply for $187.4 million the state of California will be receiving as part of the federal Emergency Assistance for Non-Public Schools (EANS) funding.
The California Catholic Conference (CCC) is currently reviewing more than 2,500 bills introduced by last week’s legislative deadline, despite the fact that each lawmaker will likely have only a few bills advance because of a needed focus on pandemic-related issues this legislative year.
Approximately ten percent of Californians have now received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine. In the coming months, approval of additional vaccines as well as measures to remedy early distribution problems should substantially increase the vaccination rate.
Facing the second Lenten season still fighting the COVID pandemic, Catholics are longing to return to communal worship and are doing so, albeit with thoughtful restrictions and guidelines. Many are wondering in a world where so much has been forsaken over the last year, what else they can “give up” for Lent that has already been taken away.
Black Catholics, parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi, played an important role in the formation of the town of East Palo Alto and in its history before and after its 1983 incorporation.
Aproximadamente el diez por ciento de los californianos han recibido ya al menos una dosis de la vacuna contra el COVID. En los próximos meses, la aprobación de vacunas adicionales, así como las medidas para remediar los problemas de distribución temprana, deberían aumentar sustancialmente la tasa de vacunación
La Corte Suprema de los EE.UU. dictamina que se pueden reanudar los servicios religiosos; Kathleen Domingo nombrada nueva directora ejecutiva de la CCC; apoyo al proyecto de ley brindando ayuda relacionada al COVID; Semana Nacional del Matrimonio, y recursos para la Cuaresma en la edición de esta semana de Perspectivas.
En 1990, el Padre Sylvester Ryan se quedó boquiabierto al ser nombrado obispo auxiliar de Los Ángeles. Al descubrir un llamado que jamás había esperado, se encontró con la Conferencia Católica de California (CCC), el brazo de asuntos públicos de los obispos del estado.
En colaboración con los sistemas de salud católicos y Caridades Católicas a lo largo del Estado Dorado, los Obispos Católicos de California instan a todos los californianos a vacunarse para evitar que siga propagándose la mortal pandemia de COVID-19, que ha cobrado la vida de más de dos millones de personas en todo el mundo.
Los Obispos instan a todos a vacunarse; CA amplía la moratoria de los desalojos; El Papa pide a todos que "verifiquen" la información antes de compartirla, y el Encuentro de Pastoral Social Católica y el Congreso de Educación Religiosa, ambos virtuales este año, en la edición de Perspectivas de esta semana.
