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.

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.”

You may bring bread and/or wine to be blessed at Mass and shared at your family meal. The Mass will be available on Zoom! Log in: 266 236 8157
