Friday, Dec. 16, from noon to 3 p.m.,  at the Life Center of Santa Ana (2428 N Grand Ave., Suite K, Santa Ana, CA) the Staff and Clients of the Life Center will be hosting the Sisters for lunch so they can see how the parishes in our Diocese are working together to Walk With Moms experiencing crisis pregnancies so that they can more easily choose life.

Friday, Dec. 16,  from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Holy Family Catholic Church the Sisters will be offering an evening talk entitled, “The Ultimate Gift.” This event is open to everyone and will be sure to please.

Teens from St. Joseph’s teen confirmation program are welcome to join the Holy Family teens as they explore what it means when we say, “Jesus is the Gift We Long For” during this retreat focusing on living one’s life “Counterculturally” as we reject secularism, materialism, and relativism.
