This past week we celebrated the beautiful Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. The gospel text from Luke’s infancy narrative reminded us of the saving mystery of the Incarnation. Through the generous, trusting response of Mary of Nazareth, the Divine Word became flesh, taking on our human nature. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Son of Mary, is true God and true man. He is Emmanuel, “God-with-us.”

Dear Catholic School Families:

On Friday, we announced that we will remain in Distance Learning mode, with campuses closed to students, through May 1 in Sacramento, Solano, and Placer Counties. Over the weekend, Butte, Nevada, and Tehama Counties followed suit with similar announcements. Furthermore, at a press conference yesterday, President Trump announced social distancing through April 30.

As such, we have decided to remain in Distance Learning mode, with campuses closed to students, for all schools of the Diocese of Sacramento through May 1, 2020. President Trump and the counties all cited the interests of public health as the motivating factor behind social distancing and the extension of school campus closures, and we are working with them in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
