Message From Our Pastor

We humans find ourselves at the turn of another century. Christianity has been in existence for some 2000 years now. We have found that with incredible advances in technology, transportation methods, the medical field, our communication systems, and the advent of the computer and “cyberspace” our planet has become a much “smaller” place. Yet even with these incredible “leaps and bounds” we find much of humanity wallowing in ignorance, violence, poverty, and starvation. 

Humans have advanced in some areas, regressed in others, have remained unchanged in many respects. The message of Jesus Christ still needs to be spread! The Good News of Jesus must be proclaimed!

Here at Santa Clara our Community makes many efforts at proclaiming the Good News and restoring hope to a sometimes “hopeless” world. With our magnificent “Vincent DePaul volunteers” and regular Liturgies we do what we can to feed our people physically and spiritually. With our 100 year old Elementary school and RCIA programs we do what we should to instruct our children and our adults. With our Bereavement, Eucharistic Ministers and Sacramental preparation programs we do what we must to strengthen the Body of Christ in our midst. I sincerely believe the Holy Spirit is very much alive and well in our community.

You are most welcome to our Catholic Community of Santa Clara, Oxnard. May God bless us all as we strive to represent Jesus in our service to each other.

Sincerely,
