Catholic Daughters support seminarians

The Catholic Daughters of the Oakland Diocese presented a check to Bishop Michael C. Barber, SJ on Oct. 29. The biennial effort of the seven Courts of the Diocese is specifically to help with the education of the seminarians. Five of the seven courts of the diocese were represented and the group included two California state officers. Instead of the traditional combined fundraising event, this year’s strategy was different because of the pandemic. Each court held its own fundraiser and the total reflected great success. Fundraisers included a jewelry sale, online raffles and an online See’s Candies sale. The Catholic Daughter Courts of the Oakland Diocese were pleased to meet with Bishop Barber to support our seminarians!
