Cotta Bishop of the Diocese of Stockton The Diocese of Stockton is very pleased to announce that Pope Francis appointed Bishop Myron Cotta to succeed Bishop Stephen Blaire as Bishop of Stockton. Bishop Blaire has served the Stockton Diocese since March 16, 1999, and submitted his resignation to the Holy Father when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 on December 22, 2016. Bishop Cotta will be the sixth Bishop of Stockton. Bishop Cotta’s installation took place on Thursday, March 15 at St. Stanislaus in Modes- to. Evening Prayer prior to the Installation was celebrated at the Cathedral of the Annunciation on March 14. Bishop Cotta was introduced January 23 at a news conference with Bishop Blaire at the Diocesan Pastoral Center. View a short video of the news conference from “The Modesto Bee” at http://www.modbee.com/living/article196142004.html. In his statement, Bishop Cotta thanked Pope Francis for his appointment. “It is humbling and an honor to be called by God to this ministry of service to the church, in particular to the Diocese of Stockton. As I prepare to leave the Diocese of Sacramento, I thank God for the call to the episcopacy and for the many blessings that I have experienced over 30 years of ordained priesthood among God’s people within the Central Valley of California. “I thank God for the opportunity to have served and shared the ministry of auxiliary bishop under Bishop Jaime Soto, along with the clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese of Sacramento. This experience has significantly contributed to my ongoing pastoral formation. “I now look forward to this transition and to work with the Pastoral Center Team and Staff, here, in Stockton. As I anticipate my installation as the 6th Bishop of Stockton on March 15, I also look forward to meeting, and sharing the ministry, that lies before us, as I work with the Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Diocese of Stockton.” “Let us keep each other in Prayer as we continue to seek God’s Will in all that we do. Together, let us move forward in building up the Kingdom of God within the heart of the Central Valley, here, in the Diocese of Stockton.” Bishop Cotta, 64, has served in the Sacramento Diocese since March 25, 2014. He also currently serves the diocese as Vicar General and Director of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. He was instrumental in overseeing prison and jail ministry in the Sacramento Diocese. Bishop Cotta speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish. Prior to his appointment as auxiliary bishop, as a priest of the Diocese of Fresno, he served as Moderator of the Curia for the diocese for 15 years. He also served as diocesan administrator following the death of Bishop John Steinbock in December 2010 and prior to the appointment of Bishop Armando Ochoa of Fresno. Born on March 21, 1953, he grew up on a dairy farm in the Merced County community of Dos Palos and is the son of Daniel and Mary Cotta and the grandson of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores Island of Terceira. He attended both public and Catholic elementary schools, including West Hills Community College in Coalinga, before entering St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, Calif., for studies. He was ordained to the priesthood on Sept. 12, 1987. He holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s of divinity degree from St. John’s Seminary. His pastoral assignments in the Fresno Diocese included serving as parochial vicar of St. Anthony Parish in Atwater (1987-1989); administrator of Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Laton (1989-1992); and pastor of Our Lady of Miracles Parish in Gustine (1992-1999). FEBRUARY 14 – MARCH 25 From February 14 to March 25, our community will take part in 40 Days for Life … a groundbreaking, coordinated interna- tional mobilization.

  • STATEMENT on the APPOINTMENT of BISHOP JAIME SOTO AS COADJUTOR BISHOP of SACRAMENTO by Bishop William K
    STATEMENT ON THE APPOINTMENT OF BISHOP JAIME SOTO AS COADJUTOR BISHOP OF SACRAMENTO by Bishop William K. Weigand Bishop of Sacramento October 11, 2007 I am grateful and delighted to announce that Pope Benedict XVI has appointed Auxiliary Bishop Jaime Soto, of the Diocese of Orange, as Coadjutor Bishop of Sacramento. As Bishop Soto prepares to help me to serve the People of God in the Diocese of Sacramento, I extend to him my heartfelt welcome to the Diocese and assure him of the prayers of all our people. I have known Bishop Soto for a number of years and have observed his good work. It pleases me to know that Bishop Soto will be helping me to shepherd this vast 20-county diocese. As Coadjutor, Bishop Soto, in due course, will succeed me as Diocesan Bishop. Bishop Soto, 51 years of age, is a native of Southern California and comes to us with very fine qualifications. He was ordained a priest in 1982 for the Diocese of Orange. He completed advanced studies at Columbia University in New York, where he obtained his Masters in Social Work (MSW) in 1986. In 1986, he was appointed Director of Catholic Charities of Orange and Vicar for Hispanics in 1989. In 1990, Bishop Soto was granted the title Monsignor by Pope John Paul II , who also appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Orange in 2000, to assist Bishop Tod Brown. Bishop Soto is well known for his care and concern for people. I look forward to his serving beside me and with the many other dedicated priests, religious, and lay faithful here in Northern California.

  • Cardinal Maida, Bishop Mcraith Resign; Detroit Successor Named
    Cardinal Maida, Bishop McRaith resign; Detroit successor named WASHINGTON – Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignations of Cardinal Adam J. Maida of Detroit and Bishop John J. McRaith of Owensboro, Ky., Jan. 5 and named Bishop Allen H. Vigneron of Oakland, Calif., as archbishop of Detroit. In addition, Father Cirilo B. Flores, pastor of St. Norbert Parish in Orange, Calif., was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Orange. No successor to Bishop McRaith was immediately named. The resignations and appointments were announced in Washington by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, apostolic nuncio to the United States. The appointment of Archbishop Vigneron, 60, allows a native son of the Detroit Archdiocese to return home. His return to southeast Michigan comes at a time of severe economic recession in the heavily industrialized region. Cardinal Maida addressed concerns about the economy twice in recent months, urging Catholics to support each other, especially those in need, and to seek solace in God during the current crisis. He also was quick to praise the $17.4 billion loan package to American automobile manufacturers passed by Congress in December. During a Jan. 5 press conference in Detroit Archbishop Vigneron recognized the pastoral and social challenges both the church and the wider community are facing as the economy struggles to regain its footing. “To that challenge, as I begin my service as archbishop, I want to bring all the riches of grace which the Holy Spirit has bestowed on the church,” he said. In an interview with The Michigan Catholic, the archdiocesan newspaper, Archbishop Vigneron said he was surprised by his appointment because no native of the archdiocese had ever been appointed to lead the Detroit church.

  • News Release Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento
    NEWS RELEASE ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SACRAMENTO Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto releases statement on Document request from state Attorney General FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kevin Eckery Friday, May 3, 2019 916-296-5945 [email protected] (SACRAMENTO)— Bishop Jaime Soto released the following statement today concerning a information request from the state Attorney General’s office on how the diocese complies with state law on the mandatory reporting of child abuse allegations to child protective services and to law enforcement. All 12 California dioceses have been contacted and asked to preserve certain files, 6 of them, including Sacramento, have been asked to provide information to the Attorney General’s Office. “The California Attorney General’s Office has asked all 12 Catholic dioceses around the state to preserve files and documents that concern their compliance as mandatory reporters of child abuse to local law enforcement. “In addition, the Attorney General’s Office has asked that 6 of the 12 dioceses voluntarily produce these same documents so that the AG’s Office can monitor their compliance with the letter and spirit of the law. Sacramento is one of those dioceses. “The Diocese of Sacramento regularly trains all mandated reporters about their obligations to report to law enforcement. Even those who are not mandated reporters are reminded of the moral obligation to be aware for the signs of child abuse and to report it when there is a reasonable suspicion an abuse as occurred. “As is our policy, we intend to cooperate with the Attorney General’s request and will work out the details with them directly.” (NB - A copy of the letter from the Attorney General’s Office is attached) The Diocese of Sacramento serves over 1.3 million Catholics in 20 counties covering 42,000 square miles of Northern California from San Francisco Bay to Sacramento and the Oregon border.

Having been the oldest living bishop in the United States, he experienced many of the great achievements as well as tragedies in the Catholic Church and world. My earliest memories of Bishop Quinn were while I had already entered the seminary. Although he was bishop at the time of my confirmation, I was confirmed by Venerable Alphonse Gallegos, Auxiliary Bishop of the diocese at that time. Yet, even I, in my innocent (or rather ignorant) twenties, was well aware of the reputation of Bishop Quinn. Well known for his humility and out- reach to the poor, he was an encouraging presence for my initial interest and continued path towards priestly ordination. I can ’t say I was close to Bishop Quinn. I wanted to be. I admired him greatly for his wisdom and sense of humor, but I ’ve never been a person to press my- self onto the lives of others and the Spirit did not lead us to intersect often. It was always an honor to have him speak to me, but he was a popular personality who de- served his space. I ’ve always felt, however, that he knew me far better than I knew him.

When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?” And the King will answer, “I tell you solemnly, insofar as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.” Gospel of Matthew 25:35-40 Introduction During the spring of 2006 millions of immigrants and their supporters took to the streets across the nation to protest “enforcement-only” legislation that criminalized undocumented immigrants and service providers.

  • Directory of Trio & Gear up Programs
    DIRECTORY OF TRIO & GEAR UP PROGRAMS Summer 2017 DIRECTORY OF TRIO & GEAR UP PROJECTS Dear Reader: The institutions and agencies that appear in this directory sponsor federally-funded TRIO and GEAR-UP programs. These programs enable students from low-income families to enter college and graduate. The TRIO programs include Talent Search, Students Support Services, Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math/Science, Veterans Upward Bound, Educational Opportunity Centers, and the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. Students enrolled in today’s TRIO Programs mirror our nation’s multicultural and multiethnic society. Thirty-five percent of TRIO students are White, 35% are African American, 19% are Hispanic, 4% are Native American, 3% are Asian American, 1% are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders, and 3% are listed as “other,” including multiracial students. More than 7,000 of TRIO students have disabilities. There are approximately 6,000 U.S. Veterans currently enrolled in the TRIO programs. TRIO college graduates are working in business, industry, government, medicine, law, education, communications, sales, finance, politics, transportation, publishing, law enforcement, computer science and technology, engineering, and accounting. As a community, TRIO and GEAR UP Professionals nationwide stand together with parents, students, and alumni to promote and protect these vital programs. However, if we expect all Americans to bridge the gap of educational opportunity and to fully participate in our global economy, the TRIO and GEAR UP programs must be expanded to give more than 11 million Americans from low-income families the realistic chance to enter college and graduate. Many of the colleges, universities, and community agencies listed in this publication are institutional members of the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE).
