UPDATED! Remote Learning Faith Formation Resources
As you may be aware, yesterday Bishop McElroy announced a series of temporary measures that will take place effective this weekend in order to mitigate any further contamination of the COVID-19. Read letter I sent yesterday relating to the imminent suspension of in-person faith formation programs beginning Monday, March 16, 2020 until further notice.
Bishop McElroy has also notified all pastors with directives concerning liturgical celebrations. Please visit: www.sdcatholic.org for updates relating to the development of the COVID-19 situation, Bishop McElroy’s letter, FAQs and to view on-line Masses available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. I also encourage you to continue monitoring the Centers for Disease Control website along with the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency for further updates.

Below I have listed a number of resources to help you and the families you serve during this time of social distancing. We encourage constant and clear communication with your Pastors and catechetical teams so the best possible avenue for remote/distance learning is applied.
As this situation continues to unfold, we will continue to keep you updated. We remain united in prayer during this difficult time and we place our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
