TO: All Pastors and Administrators
FROM: Most Reverend Tod D. Brown,
Bishop of Orange
DATE: December 2, 2002
SUBJECT: Letter from the California
Catholic Conference
As promised by e-mail last Wednesday, attached you will find the
letter from the Bishops of California regarding SB 1779. The letter
is being provided in English and Spanish.
I ask your cooperation in making certain that this letter is read
at all Masses this coming weekend (December 7-8, 2002) and also
making certain that the letter is copied and put in your parish
bulletin this weekend.
I appreciate the work of our Vietnamese and Korean-speaking priests
in providing a translation of this letter for the Masses you celebrate.
For your information, this letter will be published in The Tidings
this coming Thursday, and in The Orange County Catholic on the weekend
of December 14-15, 2002. You will also see articles about this in
the local press. It is the intention of the California Catholic
Conference to have this embargoed until Thursday, December 5, 2002.
May the Lord bless you and your parish communities
during this Advent Season.
