Diocese of Stockton will hold Mass in Modesto for victims of violence
The Diocese of Stockton will hold a Mass at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Modesto next week for victims of violence.
Anyone affected by an act of violence is invited to participate in the Mass at 6 p.m. Nov. 10 at the 1200 Maze Blvd. church.
The Most Rev. Myron J. Cotta, bishop of Stockton, will preside at the Mass.
“The true God does not sanction a community created through violence; the Kingdom of God is a society grounded in forgiveness, peace, justice and identification with the victim,” Cotta said in a press release.
Also attending is Deacon Fidel Carrillo Jr., coordinator of the Diocese’s Restorative Justice Program.
According to the press release, the program “seeks to offer a journey toward well-being that victims, offenders, and members of the greater community can experience.”
