“| Explanation:| The Companions on the Journey community responded enthusiastically each week to the challenge and opportunity of creating a hybrid community - online and in-person in Palo Alto California. After 5 years on Zoom we transformed into a vibrant international community with companions from countries around the world all seeking spiritual truths that transcended the boundaries often found in traditional religious spaces. Our mission at COJ was to continue as a unique community that supported each of us in finding and following our own spiritual path. As we celebrated 27 years as an independent spiritual community we recognized that our longevity was a testament to Fr. Sens inspired spiritual direction and the deep commitment to community by all of our companions. We were inspired by our new companions getting involved in our Sunday Zoom liturgies offering thought-provoking questions on 3rd Sundays participating in the Wednesday evening book group and attending retreats. Through our weekly after-Mass meet and greet first Sunday of the month Get to know your neighbor Zoom breakout rooms and individuals connecting through our COJ directory we learned about each other. In addition to our weekly Zoom Masses with Fr. Sen we continued to celebrate our 4th Sunday Community Liturgies in-person followed by community potluck lunches and coffee and cake gatherings. We facilitated 2 community retreats in 2024: Bishops Ranch in Healdsburg with Fr. Sen in March also available via Zoom and a September Retreat at Villa Maria del Mar Santa Cruz. We continued to partner locally with Catholic Worker donating food clothing and funds toward education and housing each month with special donations for families during the holidays and at the beginning of the school year.”
