Please beware of emails appearing to come from Fr. Kirk or someone else you know claiming to need money and requesting that you not contact them by phone.  These scams often ask for money in the form of gift cards or other untraceable payment methods.  These emails or text messages are scams.  You can also tell they are scams by looking at the email address.  Emails from the parish will come from "@stacojai.org".  Please know that no one from the parish will ever contact you requesting money in this way.
