CATHOLIC COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN
June 6th & 7th
This weekend we take up the collection for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). Your support helps CCC fulfill its mission of love to share the gospel message of hope with people in the U.S. using the internet, TV, radio, and print media. Half the funds we collect remain here in the Diocese of Oakland to support local efforts. The other half support the communication activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other projects across the United States and abroad. Be part of this campaign to spread the gospel message! Support the collection today! Envelopes are in the pews for your use. Please make your check payable to “Roman Catholic Bishop of Oakland”. May God bless you for your generosity!

BEWARE OF EMAIL & TEXT SCAMS
PHISHING is an attack that attempts to steal your money, or your identity, by getting you to reveal personal information--such as credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords. Cybercriminals typically pretend to be reputable companies, friends, or acquaintances in a fake message, which contains a link to a phishing website.
OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means. If you do receive one of these texts or emails and are unsure, DO NOT OPEN IT and report these to Jay at 510-537-0806. God Bless and be safe!
