Rest in Peace Fr. Balaswamy Govindu
We mourn the passing of beloved Fr. “Bala” Govindu who was pastor at St. Mary’s in Arcata from 2014-2017. His funeral was held in India on February 10, 2025. We invite the faithful to join in prayer for the repose of his soul and in gratitude for his years of dedicated service to our community and diocese. May he rest in the peace of Christ, whom he so faithfully served..

Catholic News
We have created links to the best Catholic news sites so that you can keep current in the latest national and international Catholic news.
America: The Jesuit Review
Our flagship magazine is the leading Catholic journal of opinion in the United States. First published in 1909, America magazine is known across the Catholic world for its unique brand of opinion and analysis. From theology and spirituality to politics, international relations, arts and letters, and the economy and social justice, America’s coverage spans the globe. We tell the stories that matter most to the church and the world. Our award-winning website is americamagazine.org.
Catholic News Service
Catholic News Service has a rich history of journalistic professionalism and is a leader in the world of Catholic and religious media. With headquarters in Washington, offices in New York and Rome, and correspondents around the world, CNS provides the most comprehensive coverage of the church today.
And in the digital age, CNS is showing a new audience the accuracy that has always been its hallmark with its video journalism and documentary production.
Vatican News
Vatican News is the news portal of the Holy See. Surpassing the concept of being a simple digital platform, Vatican News seeks to respond and, in a certain sense, to anticipate the continual changes taking place in communication, with the objective of “communicating the Gospel of mercy to all people” in various cultures. It communicates and interacts through audio, video, text and images on a multi-lingual, multi-culture, multi-channel, multi-media and multi-device plain.
Catholic News Videos
Pope Francis still has bronchitis but does not miss Wednesday general audience. There was a lot of expectation in the weekly audience due to the respiratory problems that Pope Francis has shown in recent days. The pope did not read the catechesis but hopes that “next time he will be able to”.
The Pope Video
“God still calls young people even today, sometimes in ways we can’t imagine,” he says in The Pope Video for February, produced by his Worldwide Prayer Network in collaboration with Vatican Media and The Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
RCIA: An Invitation to Satisfy Our Deepest Longing
The human heart seems ultimately to manifest itself in the desire to be loved and to love in return. Until then, as St. Augustine said, our hearts are restless until they rest in God who is Love. As Catholic Christians, we are privileged to share God’s love through Mass, the Sacraments and how we live our life.
Do you know someone thirsting for God? Do you know someone not baptized or baptized in a different Christian tradition thirsting to know what it means to be Catholic? Do you know someone already Catholic but who has not yet received the Eucharist or been confirmed? They may be thirsting, too.The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a place to ask questions and seek understanding. Weekly “no strings” inquiry gatherings will be held at 7 pm on Tuesday evenings beginning in September. We would love for you to invite/accompany anyone you know whose heart is restless for the God who loves them.
