​September 3, 2021 Mask Mandate for Indoor Mass and parish events: 
​
Bishop Cotta instructs that all parishioners vaccinated or not, will be required to wear a face mask for indoor Masses and parish events within Stanislaus county. In accordance with the mandate from the Stanislaus County Public Health Officer,  kindly keep your mask on, covering your nose and mouth, while indoors and for the entirety of Mass. Please remember that any time you enter a public place, you could be susceptible to contracting a virus.  Please stay home if you are  feeling ill, and/or having symptoms of Covid-19.

2021-2022: Not your average
​Stewardship Renewal!​

Complete your Renewal Here

Our 2021-2022 Annual Stewardship Renewal
During the Renewal, we make our annual plan for prayer, service, and generosity.  Everyone can offer prayer, contemplate how to serve, and offer his/her generosity as they are able. Have a new idea, a ministry, or work that you would like to have in our parish? Tell us. This coming year, 2021-2022, we want to "rejoice and be glad!" and we can do this with our Renewal. What are the steps of participating in our Stewardship Renewal? First, we should gratefully consider all that God has given us: our very existence, our families, our careers, our skills, our charisms (gifts of the heart), and all our resources. Next, we should prayerfully decide what our personal response will be to God’s goodness. Then, we will fill out the Renewal Form - there is a space to offer your ideas as well! Through this process, we plan how to pray gratefully, serve responsibly, and give generously. If you are struggling with your faith at this time or need help from your church in some way, please email us at info@stjmod.com, and we will do our best to help you.

2021 "Virtual Gala"
with Fr. Sam

Saturday, ​November 6, 7pm

Thank you for your support of the Annual Parish Gala! We are asking everyone to be as generous as they can this year, to support the project:  Sending our young adults to Portugal in August 2023 for World Youth Day! There is much rebuilding needed in our youth and parish, and I am eager to start the two-year formation for a couple of dozen young adults. Past history has shown that those young adults who become World Youth Day Pilgrims always come back as stronger Catholics in their parishes.   
  ​
Join me Facebook/You Tube Channels as I reminisce about previous World Youth Days I’ve attended. Only 2021 Gala supporters will be sent a special livestream link.   ​

Support your World Youth Day pilgrims

There's an App for that!

Family Faith Formation

Final week to sign up for family faith formation. 

​Our Faith Formation program is not a school-based curriculum involving textbooks and tests. Rather it is a support system for families who wish to be faithful Catholics, and pass that faith on to their children.
