Bishop Brennan Celebrates
St. Joseph's Table
| |
This past weekend, Bishop Brennan celebrated St. Joseph's Table, Charity Event and Birthday Celebration, at Holy Spirit Church in Fresno!
St. Joseph's Table is one of Bishop Brennan's cherished traditions because of his Italian heritage, his birth name, and its close connection to his birthday. Every year, Bishop Brennan's birthday wish is for our parishes to continue serving our communities.

Thank you to our parishes and Valley Catholics who helped fulfilled Bishop Brennan's birthday wish!
All donations will go to Catholic Charities and charitable organizations providing food to those in need.
