Each year the Church honors all the saints, named and unknown, with a special feast day.

​The Saints are not just those we look up to as examples of living holy lives.  They are our friends in heaven. We believe that, together with them, we are one Church. They care deeply about us, and we can ask them to pray for us as we journey to join them in heaven.
​
Pope Francis reminds us that we can all be holy in the context of our ordinary lives. He tells us those holy ones are not gloomy but “joyful and full of good humor.”

​Come to Mass for this holy day of opportunity, thank God for their example and friendship, and be strengthened on our journey to be saints in our ordinary lives.

About
“O God, to those who have hunger, give bread, And to us who have bread, give the hunger for justice.”       
-Latin American prayer

​Every March our parish joins with other Camarillo churches and neighbors from different faiths, cultures and ages, to stand against hunger in our local community and the world.
​
The reason we walk is because “they walk”.  Hungry people in developing countries typically walk as much as six miles a day to get food, water, and fuel and to take their goods to market. We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence. Together we raise awareness and funds. 

The funds raised will fight hunger around the world and our local food pantries: St. Mary Magdalen/Padre Serra Christian Service Program, Christians Acting Together, Food Share, St. Columba’s Episcopal Food Pantry, Seventh Day Adventist Church Food Pantry, Many Meals and RAIN.

Every year we celebrate this inspiring day for 6th, 7th & 8th graders that includes a keynote speaker, music, prayer and fellowship.

“The Catholic community stands with all people who struggle for an end to racism and violence, in our families, in our places of worship, in our communities and in our world. We must continue to build bridges and we must confront racism and violence with a commitment to life, a vision of hope, and a call to action,” Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, President of the U.S. Bishops Conference, June 19, 2015.

With this call to action, we can no longer stay silent or idle to the persistence of racism embedded in our institutions and public policies and how it impacts us personally.  It is time we begin the healing process by listening to the experiences of our faith communities of color. May we be present with our compassionate hearts to listen to their voices and truths.

Panelists include: Nirmala Bheemisetty, Martita Martinez-Bravo, and Cynthia Jones-Campbell
