Bishop Joe Vásquez has callled for a Year of Reparation, beginning Nov. 1, 2018.

• Click here to read a letter announcing the Year of Reparation from Bishop Vásquez, in English and Spanish.
• Year of Reparation Resources: English, Spanish 

Reparation is a spiritual action taken to amend or repair damage caused by an offense. We see this in the Sacrament of Penance whose three actions are repentance, confession, and penance or reparation. Here are some ways to observe the Year of Reparation:

• Offer daily prayer for victims of abuse.
• Offer prayers for the Church and ministers.
• Fast (two smaller meals and one regular meal).
• Pray daily “A Prayer for Our Church” 
• Acts of penance, mercy and service.
• Participate in daily Mass.
• Pray the Rosary individually or as a group.
