Dear Parishioners,
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Do the words above sound familiar? This is the same greeting with which the priest welcomes the people of God as they gather for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. It has been a long time since you and I were able to gather in our beloved church for worship because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This pandemic has brought about great suffering and turmoil to our families, our parish, our nation and our world. I mourn for those who have died and I sympathize with those who are suffering: suffering from bad health, from loss of business or jobs, from mental and emotional stress, and other difficulties.
But through this experience I have learned how incredibly generous, courageous, and resourceful our neighbors are, from the doctors, nurses and caregivers on the frontline to the truck drivers, supermarket workers and H.O.P.E. volunteers.
May the Lord in his goodness lead us all closer to him.
And by our love and service to one another, may we hear him say to us,
"Well done, my good and faithful servant... Come, share your master's joy" (Mt 25:23).
In this time of unprecedented economic uncertainty, we understand some families may be in dire financial difficulty. For those who are able, please consider continuing your contribution to the parish by online giving or through your offertory envelope. And for those who are financially secure, consider increasing your giving to make up for those who are unable to contribute at this stressful time. Thank you for your generosity and unwavering commitment to Saint Irenaeus Parish!

PASTORAL SERVICES APPEAL 2020
The new year has begun and March 19 marks the beginning of Spring which brings with it new life, new hope and new beginnings.
For us Catholics in the Diocese of Orange, each new year gives us an opportunity to make positive and radical changes to our parish, our diocese, and the wider community. As Bishop Kevin W. Vann reminds us, “The joyful mission of our Catholic faith is to help people find a path toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This happens every day in our parishes, schools and ministries throughout the Diocese of Orange.” And the vehicle that helps us accomplish this mission is our annual Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA).
Please prayerfully consider participating!

Thank you for your witness to Christ and your generous support.
Fraud Warning! Please be careful.
There has been a recent escalation of phone calls, text messages, and emails purportedly coming from bishops, priests, and deacons asking for personal information or money.
Please be advised that these contact attempts most certainly do not originate from bishops, priests, or deacons. They are fraudulent!
We advise you to not respond to these messages or follow any links that may be contained within them. If you believe the message may be genuine, verify it by calling the church or cathedral directly and not using a phone number provided or embedded in the text or email message.
