History of Immaculate Conception Parish
It was here in Old Town that Saint Junípero Serra celebrated his First Holy Mass in California on July 2, 1769, near the site of the present Immaculate Conception Church, and it was on the hill overlooking Old Town that he planted the cross which marked the site of the Mission and the Presidio. In 1849, the first parish church was established in Old Town with the name of Immaculate Conception and was dedicated in 1858. It still stands and is known as the Old Adobe Chapel on Conde Street. The cornerstone to the present Immaculate Conception Church was laid in 1868 under the direction of Father Antonio Ubach. With the population swing toward the south, it was not until July 6, 1919, that the church was dedicated by Archbishop John J. Cantwell of Los Angeles.

All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
Why not feed your spirit this Lent? Come join us for a morning of reflection. Why is there a constant restlessness in our heart? How can we cherish it and use it? We look at this and different ways to pray.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
We're reading St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians these days. What was Corinth like? It had a beautiful setting on an isthmus, about fifty miles from Athens. The location makes for very easy exchange by sea routes between Greece and Italy, a factor in its economic success even today. In Paul's day it was a cosmopolitan and wealthy city with inhabitants drawn from all over the world, including a sizeable Jewish community. When Paul arrived about the year 50, the city was only about a century old, but already five times the size of Athens. Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half, and a few years later came back for three months. The community of Christians there struggled against the influence of a very secular and self-indulgent society that was blind to the plight of the poor. Pagan attitudes afflicted the community, which had a way of breaking Paul's heart; he wrote to them sometimes "with many tears" (2 Corinthians 2:4).
Today, Corinth is a small industrial city. Its historic core has been destroyed by a series of earthquakes over the centuries, and what little remained was totally obliterated in a war with Turkey in the 1820s. There's a core city with glamorous shops to catch the tourists, but it is mainly a cargo port, with piles of marble, tiles, and minerals everywhere, a huge oil refinery nearby, a busy canal, a modern fast rail line to Athens, and a meeting point of major highways. Today, the remains of the Temple of Apollo and the marketplace are more ruined than most such sites. The glory of the city Paul knew well has faded, but the relevance of his words shines through the centuries.

Undocumented Atlanta Priest Awaits Fate of DACA with Nation
Earl ier this week, The Washington Post prof i led Rev. Rey Pineda, a Cathol ic pr ies t serving in Atlanta who is a lso an undocumented U.S. c i t izen l iving in the U.S.Like near ly 700,000 others , Fr. Pineda is awai t ing the fate of the Delayed Act ion for Chi ldhood Arr ivals (DACA) program, which President Obama created in 2012 and the Trump adminis t rat ion canceled la te las t year.Pineda, whose family migrated to the United States when he was two-years-old to seek t reatment for his mother 's recovery from a car accident , leads a congregat ion largely divided on how Congress should act on DACA.The Cal i fornia Cathol ic Conference and Cal i fornia Bishops are urgent ly asking for le t ters to be sent to lawmakers insis t ing that they preserve DACA, which is set to end on March 5.
Meet Fr. Rey Pineda
As he hands each person the Communion wafer, the pr ies t watches his congregants walk back to their seats .
They drop to their knees and bow their heads. Hands clasp. Around the church, a tear runs down a cheek, then another, then another.The pr iest knows the prayers behind the faces of these undocumented immigrants , whom i t is his special mission to serve. I t ’s a prayer he shares: Señor Jesús, please don’t make us leave the United States .
The Rev. Rey Pineda is a DACA recipient . He’s one of near ly 690,000 young adul ts granted temporary authorizat ion to s tay legal ly in the country that they were brought to as chi ldren — the only publ ic ly ident i f ied DACA recipient who has used the authorizat ion to become a Cathol ic pr ies t .Across the country, “dreamers” such as Pineda, 29, are a t the center of a debate so content ious that i t threatens to shut down the government . One s ide bel ieves that anyone who broke the law to come here in the f i rs t place doesn’t belong here now. The other s ide bel ieves in grant ing a chance to people who came here as chi ldren and are now enmeshed in American communit ies .The same debate is s immering at Pineda’s Atlanta par ish, where he leads a congregat ion of thousands of Hispanic immigrants and thousands of conservat ive white Southerners . I t ’s a confl ic t about pr inciples , such as fa i rness and cul ture , and welcome and securi ty, and forgiveness .But i t ’s a lso a confl ic t about what should become of their pr ies t .
The Pont i f ical Councsi l for Just ice and Peace and the Internat ional Union of Superiors General have designated February 8 as an annual Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Traff icking.
Join us a t 6:30 pm on February 8 at the Pastoral Center to learn how human t raff icking affects San Diegans and immigrant communit ies , how to support vict ims of human t raff icking, and what act ions to take to prevent i t f rom happening again.
