Bishop Gerald Barnes issued the following statement following the Presidential election:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We have just come through what is probably the most divisive and bitter presidential campaign in memory. Our democratic process has concluded and we offer our prayers for our new President-Elect Mr. Donald Trump. We ask God to guide him in his leadership that he will make decisions for the Common Good of the people and always recognizing the Dignity of Every Human Life.

MECCA—Humility and faith went hand in hand as the faith community of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mecca celebrated the Feast Day of their patroness on Dec. 12.
The Purepecha, indigenous people from Michoacán, Mexico, joined in the celebration by honoring “La Morenita” through a pilgrimage during which they danced typical rituals in their native dress.

I dedicate this especially to those souls who are searching for a miracle of love.
Twenty-eight years ago I became pregnant with my eldest daughter. My little girl was born on February 20, 1988 through the grace of God and the intercession of our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of God.
A mother’s love knows no boundaries.
Bishop Gerald Barnes offered this message to inmates at the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe as he celebrated Mass and later visited with the men.
