November 18th CCD Food Drive was a beautiful success! We are thankful for your generosity!

After Mass there was a celebration of the Catholic faith Where the young people dressed up

Teen Night Together (Youth Rally and Adoration) It was a time to have fun, to learn, grow and praise God...

Our camp has hosted around 130 kids per week every summer offering indoor and outdoor recreational activities which include soccer, volleyball, board games, arts and crafts, water activities, movies, music and organized games for young people ages 6 to 13. Thanks to the City of Orange, which provides breakfast and lunch, and thanks to parishioners and Salesian cooperators who provide snacks and financial support, we are able to keep very low weekly fees. We are not here to make money, but to offer a safe and fun environment for our young people. Our counselors and volunteers are trained in the Salesian Preventive System to offer a safe and fun environment for all. Most of our volunteers are young teenagers who enjoy helping younger kids to have as much fun as they had it when they were campers themselves in the past. Faith is an essential component of our summer camp. We have mass at the end of the week, opportunity for confessions, moments of prayer and the traditional Salesian Good Morning. Don Bosco Camp in the Valley is all about getting closer to God in a safe and fun environment!

Thank you all who made possible the garage and food sale! We were blessed with beautiful weather! The garage and food sale were coordinated by parishioners, Salesian cooperators and friends of OLV. Thank you!!!

Felicidades a los 31 niños(as) que tomaron su Primera Comunión el sábado 6 de Mayo, fiesta de Santo Domingo Savio.

Margarita Occhiena was the mother of St. John Bosco. She died from pneumonia on November 25, 1856. Today we remember her and also we remember the deceased parents of Salesians. 

Our RCIA program also prepared baptized who need the sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion.

The Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC) prepare non-baptized persons within the age of 7 up to no limit on age who wishes to be part of the Catholic Church.

Last Sunday August 2nd our parish was blessed with a group of nine (9) kids taking their First Communion. There were six (6) boys and three (3) girls who received Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time! The girls looked like princesses wearing white dresses and the boys looked like princes wearing a formal suit. The catechists Joanna Rodriguez and Sabrina Flores were present assisting their students before, during and after Holy Mass. Miss Sally, our CCD-Oratory Program Coordinator, was present taking care of all the details. The music organized by our music director, Facundo Lopez, was so solemn and at the same time so joyful proper to the occasion. Father John and father Fernando were concelebrating and I was thrilled to be the celebrant and be with our young people at this important moment in their journey of faith. In the middle of this pandemic, Our Lord Jesus comes to us, to confirm His Love and His fidelity to us. Congratulations to our kids who did their First Communion, God is good, all the time!

Hundreds of people gathered at the Cathedral Basilica of Sacred Heart on Saturday February 29th and March 1st for the Rite of Continuing Conversion and the Rite of Election.

Cardinal Joseph William Tobin presided the Rite of Election and Bishop Manuel Cruz presided the rite of continuing conversion.
