DAVIS — A spirit of joy and unity filled the city of Davis on Sunday, October 12, as more than 250 students, parishioners, and community members gathered for the Jubilee Mass for Young Adults and the dedication of the newly renovated Newman Catholic Center grounds.

The evening began with a Jubilee Mass at St. James Parish, presided over by Bishop Rey Bersabal, who was joined by Fr. Mauricio Hurtado, diocesan vocations director, and Deacon Stephen Tran. In his homily, Bishop Rey reflected on the profound gift of unity that flows from faith and the sacraments.
