Our first pandemic outdoor Saturday evening Mass was sunny and warm, with children playing on the grass. Jesus was truly with us as we worshipped together. When the weather varied, our community spirit remained strong, whether in coats or shorts.
Father Patrick and fellow parishioners warmly welcomed us when we moved to Camarillo three years ago. I found Father's homilies uplifting and inspiring in the depths of the pandemic. Three years later, I feel blessed to be part of this parish family, my spiritual home.
