RUBIDOUX—With an increasingly visible and growing problem of homelessness in the communities of the Diocese, a handful of parishes along with Catholic Charities San Bernardino-Riverside are launching a new ministry to address a fundamental need of those who live on the streets.

March 8-15 - We remember!

 The Ministry Formation Institute (MFI) will hold its 19th annual Theological Symposium on Saturday, March 21 at the Diocesan Pastoral Center.  The theme for the day is “Faith in Action Giving Hope.” 

 It was announced on February 4th that Bishop Barnes has merged the Ministries of Mission Integration and Employee Relations effective January 31st, 2020. This new ministry will be called the Office of Mission Integration and Employee Relations, Co-Directed by David Acosta and Sr. Linda Nicholson, CSJ. The new ministry will focus on Diocesan mission, vision, core values, and team-building of staff. The goal is to create a more cohesive work environment for Diocesan employees.
