§ Regarding our incoming Assisting Bishop, as of today we have procured a house for him to rent in the Harden Ranch area of North Salinas.  After looking at and reviewing several options, the Bishop like this for its location to Hi-way 101, shopping, and general neighborhood. 
§ Bishop Romero presently lives in a house in Belize that has all the furniture owned by the Diocese.  Therefore, he will need furniture and furnishings donated to get his house set up to become his family’s home.  Items needing to be donated in good  condition include: 
o 1 Queen size bed
o 2 sets (4) twin beds
o Dining room table chairs, etc.
o Kitchen utensils, dishes, pots, pans, small appliances, etc.
o Living room furniture: sofa, chairs, end tables, lamps, coffee table 

§ Fr. Juan Erazo at San Pablo in Salinas is coordinating donations for the Bishop’s house.  If you have access to any of the above items and wish to donate them, please call Lucy Murguia at St. Paul’s  831-424-7331.  We will have access to set up the house beginning on November 24.
