ST. ISIDORE, FARMWORKER - PATRON OF FARMERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES..........

St. Isidore whose liturgical memorial the Church calendars today, was a 12th century Spanish farmworker. He is the patron of farmers, farmworkers, and rural communities. St. Isidore is known for miracles. As we remember St. Isidore today let us pray for all farmers, farmworkers, and rural communities, who help provide the many agricultural fruits,vegetables, and grains, Californians and others need to eat balanced and healthy meals. Our Sacramento Diocese includes a St. Isidore's Parish, in Yuba City a further reminder of the patronage of this saint in an area with a preponderance of farmers and farmworkers. St. Isidore pray for us and make us whatever work we do faithful witnesses to the discipleship we share and the love and glory of God which is our promise and hope in Jesus the Christ Our Risen Lord..........Fr.
