Dear All,
We have received the following letter from the Bishop of San Diego.
"I am writing to you with regret to ask you once more to suspend in-person worship at our churches during the month of July. This decision does not come without significant prayer, discussion, and deep thought. As you may know, the governor of California today instituted broad restrictions on in-person gatherings in Imperial and Riverside Counties, and Arizona's caseload is very high and increasing rapidly. San Diego County was not affected by the governor's order, but also has tightened restrictions; the number of new cases per day in San Diego County is now almost four times as high as when I first allowed in-person worship to resume on June 21. Although the governor is still allowing churches to meet, I cannot justify taking this risk with our members' health, or encouraging our members to believe that gathering in groups is safe, even with all the careful precautions our parishes have instituted."
 I will let you know when we have permission to resume our services on the patio. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, as we are now needing to cancel this Sunday's services. Yours, Mark |
