Why H1N1 Flu is Still a Concern
As we move into 2010, you may be wondering if the H1N1 flu is still a concern. You probably know that pandemic flu viruses can be unpredictable and have the ability to make otherwise healthy people sick. Keep reading to find out why you shouldn’t write off the H1N1 flu virus too soon.

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department Wishes You a Healthy New Year

Stay healthy this new year and protect yourself against the H1N1 flu by getting vaccinated. The H1N1 vaccine provides the best protection against the H1N1 flu virus.

In 2009, only people in one of the risk groups were eligible for vaccinations. That changed on January 4, and now everyone is eligible.

While hospitalizations due to H1N1 have dropped off, the virus is still causing serious illness. It’s important to remember flu pandemics are unpredictable and there could be another resurgence of the disease. So it’s still important to get vaccinated – you can protect yourself and help prevent another outbreak of the disease. Read more...

Statement Of Appreciation For Women Religious in California (English and Spanish)

yee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:43:13 +0000

During the month of October we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, the faith-filled woman of the Gospel. As we, the Bishops of California, reflect on her generous response to God, we call to mind other faith-filled women—the thousands of Women Religious whose presence and ministry have helped to shape the face of the Catholic Church in California. We find it appropriate to acknowledge with profound gratitude the contributions of these women of the Gospel who have lived and served in the Catholic Dioceses and Archdioceses of California.

International Restorative Justice Month

Rjiminez — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:57:06 +0000

During the month of November, Catholics in all California parishes will learn about and participate in International Restorative Justice. Restorative Justice is a paradigm shift in which different questions are asked. Instead of asking: (1) What laws have been broken? (2) Who did it? And (3) What do they deserve? ; Restorative Justice asks: (1) Who has been hurt? (2)What are their needs? And (3) Whose obligations are these?
