We citizens of California want to
have the right to practice our First Amendment by Public Worship and
the freedom to assemble and our right to petition against an unjust law
forbidding us to assemble. We petition churches open their doors for normal weekly services "UNRESTRICTED."
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and right to petition.
Freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits laws establishing a national religion or impeding the free exercise of religion for its citizens. While the First Amendment enforces the “separation of church and state” it doesn't exclude religion from public life.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching practice and observance.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
In the United States the right to petition is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifically prohibits Congress from abridging "the right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".

Governor Newsome it is shameful that Liquor stores and Cannabis shops are open during this Pandemic. Neither one of those are essential for life. However spiritual development and healing during this time can be considered essential. Open Churches now!
I want the Churches opened back up. We have achieved the goals of flattening the curve, few cases of Covid and not overwhelming the healthcare system. Let my people go back to Church.
We hope to avoid resorting to Civil Disobedience but eventually we will follow the example of Minnesotans who are bravely ignoring their Governor’s order prohibiting church gatherings of more than ten.
Please open our Catholic Church, we need our sacraments, we need, to be in the Holy Sacrifices, God is present in the Eucharist and only He can heal this pandemic, but we need to be in mass to pray, we need to be there with him, we are starving for him, we need Our God, Our Lord, Our Savior, we need Our Lord Jesus Christ
With a commitment to follow strict guidelines for safety, please allow Churches to open their doors. This is where we find strength, healing, solace, guidance, and peace with our Lord. We need spiritual nourishment more than physical.
We need it . We can’t be without adoration , mass , retreat
Please let us visit the Holy Sacrament of Jesus Chirst

It is our Constitutional right to practice our Religion freely. Let us control the safety measures necessary to avoid the COVID 19 virus and keep our parishioners safe. It is our sacred God given responsibility and trust to provide Mass and Sacraments for our faithful people. Currently, we are denied Freedom of Religion.
