Two parishioners have called the Parish Office about a text message they received purportedly from Fr. Bernardin saying he's in a meeting right now but needs gift cards immediately and will make reimbursement after he gets them.  The text included the parishioner’s name. The phone number appears as 916- 426-2310 and when call back was attempted it went to voice mail. This is not Fr. Bernardin's phone number nor would he ever make such a request.
If you receive a suspicious text or email and have any questions, please call the Parish Office to verify.

If the parent or guardian determines that any of this material is unsuitable for their children they may “opt-out” their children from this education.
