IMMIGRATION RESOURCES
In light of the current immigration situation in our country, which has resulted in widespread worry and uncertainty in our parishes, schools and communities, let us pray that our brothers and sisters living in fear may find strength and peace in our support through God’s work.
Below are links to two important resources for undocumented immigrants:
. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Immigration Resources page, which contains the most up-to-date immigration information.
. Frequently Asked Questions for Undocumented Persons in 2025, a comprehensive document created by the SoCal Immigration Task Force, which addresses many of the questions posed by our undocumented community, and provides practical guidance during these uncertain times.
NICHOLAS OF LYRA: THE MOST FAMOUS FRANCISCAN YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF
Guest Speaker: Fr. Garrett Galvin OFM, President of the Franciscan School of Theology
Sunday, September 7 - 12:15 to 1:30 p.m.
(Bonaventure Hall)
How do YOU read scripture? Probe your answer in the company of Nicholas of Lyra, author of the first printed biblical commentary, a copy of which is located in the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library.
Franciscan scholar Fr. Garrett Galvin will be your guide in a 75 minute session that will walk you across the bridge Nicholas built connecting Sts. Francis and Clare with the church that came after them. HIs widely read biblical studies has an enormous influence on the Medieval and Renaissance church, Protestant and Catholic, from the days of St. Thomas Aquinas, through Martin Luther, right up to the Missionary work of the Spanish Friars who founded Mission Santa Barbara. This session is for everyone, especially those who’ve been part of bible study groups or might plan to join one in the coming year.
