Diocese of Santa Rosa

http://www.santarosacatholic.org/

Diocesan Communications are more than a tool to announce important Church developments, policies and events. Rather communication is a primary means of evangelizing - a way of spreading the good News among our parishes, schools and institutions, and with the community as a whole.

The primary vehicle used by the Bishop of Santa Rosa to keep Catholics informed of developments both within the Diocese and throughout the universal Church is the North Coast Catholic -- a quarterly newsletter mailed to every registered Catholic household in the Diocese.

News releases are published and posted on the Diocesan web site to keep members of the Diocese apprised of current events affecting all Catholics. These can also be used in conjunction with letters from the Bishop.

From time to time, the Bishop sends letters to the parishes in reference to specific items of current importance to all Catholics. In addition to being released for use with the parish bulletin, these are also posted to the web in the Bishop's Letters or Cartas del Obispo section.

The California Catholic Conference is the staff office of the California Catholic Conference of Bishops. It is the official voice of the Catholic community in California’s public policy arena.

The mission of the California Catholic Conference is to advocate with the legislative, administrative and judicial branches of state government for the Catholic Church’s public policy agenda and to facilitate common pastoral efforts in the Catholic community. They also enable ecumenical and interfaith dialogue and action.
