Uniting Children with Their Mothers and Fathers in Prison

Get On The Bus is a program of the Center for Restora-tive Justice Works (CRJW), a nonprofit organization that unites children & families separated by crime and the criminal justice system. Get On The Bus was founded in 1999 by Sr. Suzanne Jabro, CSJ. This dynamic program gathers children and their caregivers or guardians from all across California and makes it possible for them to visit their respective mothers or fathers in prison on Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day. With most parents in California prisons incarcerated at facilities more than 100 miles away from their children, many families depend on Get On the Bus to keep them connected. 50% of Get On The Bus mothers and 40% of Get On The Bus fathers report that they would never see their children without Get on the Bus. Rental of buses is extremely expensive. You can make your donation to help pay for them at the parish office . Thank you!

Easter Environment In lieu of flowers, we are asking you to donate money towards the purchase of floral decorations for the Easter environment in the church. Please bring donations to the rectory no later than noon on Wednesday, April 12. Please mark your envelopes: Easter Environment For envelope users, you will find a special envelope for Easter Environment in your March envelopes.

Memoriam Please remember in your prayers Fr. Gene Wilson, C.PP.S., Casimiro Perez, and Armida Garcia who have completed their earthly journey and now live in the pres-ence of the Risen Lord.
