Welcome!

We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Email us.

Dear Parishioners:

This month we welcome a new deacon couple to our Parish Ministry Team: Deacon Chris and Kitty Ryan. Deacon Chris was ordained on January 14, 2012, for the Diocese of Arlington, VA. His first assignment was Good Shepherd Parish in Alexandria, VA. Deacon Chris and Kitty moved out to California in 2016 to care for family. While Deacon Chris is an East Coast native, Kitty is a West Coast native!

They have been serving at St. Rose of Lima Parish in Simi Valley for the past two years and are now coming to our community here at St. Bernardine. They will join our other deacon couples, Deacon Dale/Angela Taufer and Deacon Steve/Sharon Ellms, in ministry.

Deacon Chris will be involved in many aspects of the parish: liturgies, sacrament preparation, and outreach. He will also become our first official Annulment Minister to help people understand and work through the process of applying for an annulment.

We are very excited to have this couple join our community!

In gratitude,
Fr. Michael and your St. Bernardine Ministry Team
