Catholic School Physically Closed For Remainder Of Year – Distance Learning Continues
April 3, 2020
Diocese of Fresno – Office of Catholic Schools
Mona Faulkner, Superintendent
The decision has been made that all Catholic school sites in the Diocese of Fresno will remain closed for the remainder of the current school year. Distant learning will continue in all 21 schools until the last instructional day in May.
We realize that our seniors and 8th graders are deeply disappointed that the traditional graduation ceremonies and privileges will not be occurring this spring. However, each school is eager to plan a celebration, hopefully in early summer, that will honor the accomplishments of these talented graduates.

Bishop’s Message – COVID19 – 3/25/2020
We were all hoping that the restriction on the celebration of public Masses would end by Monday morning of next week, that is, on March the 30th. That is no longer the case. Please advise your parishioners, ministers and employees that the suspension of public Mass and all activities at our parishes will continue INDEFINITELY. Clearly this will directly impact our Holy Week celebrations, RCIA programs and, again, many other activities. more
