AROUND OUR DIOCESE

The Year Of Hazel

The Year of Hazel, a year-long celebration of Christ Cathedral's restored Hazel Wright Organ, continues on May 3 at 7:30 p.m. with Dr. Emma Whitten. Whitten, the Cathedral's associate organist, is an accomplished musician specializing in early Baroque and contemporary repertoire. She performs across the United States and internationally, captivating audiences and introducing the organ to new listeners. Her programs are engaging and diverse, drawing from an extensive repertoire spanning eight centuries of organ music.

Tickets for the concert are $20, with premium seating available. For more information, visit ChristCathedralMusic.org

Confirmation Celebrations

St. Barbara parish in Santa Ana kicked off the 2023 season of Confirmations on April 10, followed by St. Mary's in Fullerton and Our Lady of Fatima in San Clemente on April 15.

Parishes around our Diocese will hold their Confirmation Mass with our bishops from now through early June. We're offering our prayers for the newly Confirmed and for the leaders, staff and volunteers who walk alongside the students on their road to Confirmation.

EVER ANCIENT EVER NEW: SOCAL YOUNG ADULT EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL

The offices of young adult ministry from Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and San Diego) are partnering to bring Ever Ancient Ever New: SoCal Young Adult Eucharistic Revival on May 6 and 7 at the Christ Cathedral campus.

In this two-day experience for young adults, our hearts will be touched through encounters with Christ in the Eucharist; our minds will be transformed by the teachings of our Church about the Eucharist; and we will be sent out to be the living body of Christ everywhere we go. Visit socalrevival.org to see the agenda, speakers and to register individually or as a group. For questions, contact Benito Medrano at bmedrano@rcbo.org or (714) 282-6043.C
