DUCKS NIGHT
Catholic Family Night delivered, and so did the Anaheim Ducks with a 6-1 win! Thank you to families and friends from across Orange County who joined us on April 9 at the Honda Center for Catholic Family Night with the Ducks. The action-packed evening provided the perfect blend of faith and family fun. Attendees even had the opportunity to participate in a postgame slapshot experience on the ice. But the fun isn’t over yet! Grab your tickets for our next Catholic Family Night at Angel Stadium on June 27. Visit RCBO.org/catholic-familynight to learn more.
CATHOLICS AT THE CAPITOL
A group from the Diocese of Orange recently visited Sacramento for Catholics at the Capitol, hosted by the California Catholic Conference. Several bishops and Catholics from across the state participated in a rally and rosary procession in downtown Sacramento. They also met with staff members of several legislators from Orange County and spoke with them about how the Church is serving the community.
