San Damiano Ecumenical Catholic Church
The open, thinking, healing, welcoming faith community you've been looking for.
San Damiano offers a Catholic experience in the context of absolute welcome and the full inclusion of all people. Traditional liturgy gives expression to a lively and contemporary faith that is progressive on social issues and engages those on the margins.
It’s taken more than an hour to get this far! For weeks, I’ve had very slow (or no) Internet — I’m having to do this on my phone. I can’t use our newsletter editor here, which is why you haven’t seen one in a while. I also can’t manage our Zoom calls.
It’s okay for now. We’ll stay on hiatus and pray for one another until things change!
Peace and all good,
Fred+

Sabbatical ⛪ News from San Damiano This familiar verse from Psalm 23 showed up in the Office of Readings this morning. It is familiar for a reason — it speaks to our hearts. It is a word of assurance in challenging times. Because I have been asked by some of you, I'll say a word about our break in worship for now. I've been at thi...
