Mass for Victims/Survivors of Violence

Violence hits all communities, all income and age groups, and it also tests our faith. We have a responsibility to respond. Please help us reach out to those individuals and families who have experienced the pain and hurt of losing a loved one through a violent act. The Catholic community cannot ignore the moral and human costs of so much violence in our midst.

A special Mass for Victims/Survivors of Violence

will be held on Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 2:30 pm
at Queen of Apostles Church, 4911 Moorpark, San Jose, California.
Bishop Patrick J. McGrath will be the presider. This will be a way for all who
have been touched by violence to gather in prayer and remembrance.

If you would like a specific victim/survivor of violence to be remembered by name in this liturgy, please send the name to

Sister Maryann Cantlon, 1150
North 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95110.
All are invited to the reception after the Mass.
