Dear Saint Charles Borromeo Family:
Due to a number of recent vehicular accidents in our area, please keep in your prayers the victims and their families, including the family of winemaker Mitchell Katz who tragically passed away on Friday as a result of a two-car collision on East Ave.
As a reminder, our parking lot will be closed tomorrow and Thursday for repaving. As always, street parking will be available on Lomitas Ave. The repaved parking lot will open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday.
In the meantime, if you would like to read "Hold On; Change is Coming", I encourage you to read my article in Sunday's bulletin.
Blessings, Everyone!
