Our Mardi Gras Celebration!


Tuesday, February 17, 2026


Celebrate the joy and flavor of Mardi Gras as we prepare for the beginning of Lent—a 40-day season of fasting, repentance, and prayer leading up to Easter. Traditionally, Christians abstain from rich and indulgent foods during Lent, making Mardi Gras our final day of feasting and fun before the solemn season begins.


Event Schedule:
6:00 p.m. – Mass
6:30 p.m. – Adoration
7:00 p.m. – Food and Fellowship on the Patio


Following the Mardi Gras celebration, our Book Club will meet at 8:15 p.m. for discussion.


Come for the faith, stay for the fun, and enjoy food, fellowship, and community!

Please bring a dish, side dish, or dessert to share.


Kindly RSVP at 323-656-4433 or via email at stambrose1281@gmail.com, and let us know what you plan to bring.

ARCHBISHOP GOMEZ CALLS FOR PEACE, END OF VIOLENT ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS; URGES WASHINGTON TO PASS DIGNITY ACT TO FIX BROKEN SYSTEM


Click below for full message of Archbishop Gomez’s column:


In his weekly column in Angelusnews.com, Archbishop José H. Gomez shared his prayers for those who have died or have been injured by the immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and across the nation. Expanding on prayers and remarks shared with hundreds gathered for an interfaith prayer vigil on Saturday, January 24, on the steps of the Federal Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, Archbishop Gomez once again called for peace and restraint. He expressed his continued frustration with the lack of action by the nation’s leaders to fix the broken immigration system for more than 40 years and urged Congress to hold hearings on the only bi-partisan bill that has been introduced, calling the bill “a genuine, good-faith starting point” for dialogue about reform.

"LEO FROM CHICAGO" - Documentary


The Vatican media documentary about the roots of Robert Francis Prevost in his native United States. It follows an itinerary that begins with his childhood in Dolton, through the memories of his brothers Louis and John, and continues among schools and universities, communities and parishes, featuring the voices of confreres, teachers, classmates, and longtime friends.


A production of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Apostolate El Sembrador Nueva Evangelización (ESNE), broadcast on the official channels of Vatican

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 2025) - The Los Angeles County Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (MVA) is proud to announce the launch of a transformative new mental health initiative providing immediate, proactive, and stigma-free emotional support to veterans across the region. 

 

Developed in partnership with Happy: Frictionless Mental Health, Precise Behavioral, and The Reality Center, this countywide program connects veterans directly to free emotional support, telehealth therapy, and in-person sensory wellness - without delays, complicated systems, or eligibility restrictions. 

 

“It is extremely hard for veterans to ask for help, so when they do, we need to be able to get them help within hours or a day or two,” said Director Jim Zenner, LCSW. “Thanks to our partners and the L.A. County Quality and Productivity Commission, this program ensures that support is immediate and accessible.” 


Veterans can access the program in multiple ways: 


  • Direct Intake Link for Veterans (Fastest): Complete the secure intake form for self-referral here: https://wkf.ms/3HRqdQ7 
  • VPAN Peer Referral: Peer Specialists at VPAN can refer veterans through the VPAN Service Request Form here: https://wkf.ms/4nBr47R 
  • For more information or for more urgent referrals, please contact the Program Manager, Kristan Toth at kristan@frictionlessmentalhealth.com or call/text: 858-367-3001.

Discipleship is a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, both in spirit and in His mystical body, the Church. As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we become more aware of His love for us, and we grow in love for others. Through this overflowing love, we lead others to find their own relationship with God - all are welcome!

Scripture Sharing | Every Wednesday at 7:30 pm, we gather virtually for our Scripture Study Ministry. Each gathering consists of a short presentation on the coming Sunday's readings, followed by small group discussion on how this Word touches and affects us personally.
