Our parish is forming a parish pastoral council to investigate, reflect, and recommend different aspects of our parish reality. ♦ This council is an advisory body whose wisdom, insight, and consultation will help to build up the church and strengthen the people of God as we reflect upon the major issues concerning our parish. These areas could include but certainly are not limited to homelessness, outreach to the poor, outreach to the sick and homebound, outreach to the young, upgrades and maintenance to aging facilities, as well as fundraising and financial stability. Please let me know of your thoughts and areas of concern for our parish! ♦ Currently, we are accepting nominations for membership to the council. Over the coming weeks, we will be gathering these nominations (you can email me directly or call the office with your own personal interest or suggestion for someone else who you feel may be a good candidate) into a candidate pool which the parish leadership team will pray and reflect upon in putting together the eventual membership list for the council. ♦ We Need You! Our Parish Needs You! Please fill out a nomination form.
OneLife LA partners with many Southern California-based service organizations that provide life-affirming support to pregnant women, assist immigrants and refugees, the homeless, trafficking survivors, the elderly, the disabled and the dying, and help foster children find forever homes. This commitment to service ensures that participants view this event not only as a destination, but as a call to build up their communities. ♦ This family-friendly event begins with a solidarity-building walk through downtown Los Angeles, ending with a festival, live music, food trucks, entertainment, and inspiring speakers. ♦ Our speakers share powerful stories of what they have overcome in life and how they use that struggle to help others. These stories inspire and mobilize thousands of people to do good work every day to help those in need.

The meetings will be in Grill Hall. For the past nine years, the Fellowship has enabled men in the parish to learn about and deepen their faith in a loving, prayerful and dynamic environment. Each week we view and discuss compelling, inspirational video programs for the best known teachers in the Catholic Church, including Bishop Robert Barron, Fathers Dave Pivonka and Larry Richards, Schott Hahn, That Man Is You, and many others. After 18 months of “virtual” meetings, we are eager to again meet in person –including our famous hot breakfast! If you have been away from the Fellowship, or if you are a newcomer, please join us! You will be glad that you did. (For more information, contact Dennis Loomis at cdloomis@buchalter.com)

In Memory of Fr. David Ayotte, 1960-2021 ♦ We are most grateful to God for the time that Fr. Dave shared with our community and will forever carry him in our hearts. At the height of the pandemic, Fr. Dave encouraged us with these words: “in a certain way we’re entering into a space where something new is emerging…some new way of being church that we weren’t expecting before…but the Lord could be calling us to something much greater and there’s no way we can silence the action of the Holy Spirit…we might fight and oppose, but what the Lord is actually doing is doing something greater inside of us that we wake up to the real I AM; God in our life.”
