of the Stewardship Committee and numerous

volunteers.

Southern California day and everyone enjoyed the

delicious buffet prepared by our

Mission Chef Kaitlin Bandy.

New Parishioners BreakfastMinistry Leaders went table to table to help

new parishioners become familiar with the

many services and opportunities for

involvement our parish has to offer.


It was a great opportunity to get to know the new members of our parish community and for

them to see and experience the hospitality of a Franciscan Parish.


We ended the event with a bilingual

guided tour of the Mission and Parish grounds given by

three of our dedicated

parishioners.


We were thrilled to meet so many wonderful new families and we hope

they enjoyed the day as much as we did.


This event is held quarterly for all new registered parishioners. The next New Parishioners’ Breakfast is scheduled for

October 2016.
