  • 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. Although these demonstrations surprised the nation by their seemingly spontaneous nature, a significant number of immigrant rights organizations have mobilized and continue to mobilize around immigrant rights.1 Los Angeles, in particular, has a rich history of immigrant rights activism.

This was not a decision that was made in haste. As early as the mid-1970’s, the Brothers had written of anticipating such a conversion. But, one would have to think that the impetus for the timing of the change was the concern over the imminent closure of Bishop Manogue High School and how to properly consider the needs of the young women who would soon have to find a new school. Much in the way of preparation for the anticipated transition had taken place in the years leading up to Manogue’s closure. A formal agreement was reached between the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento and Christian Brothers High School regarding the hiring of Manogue faculty where possible and the continued involvement of the Sisters of Mercy.
