Weekly Message 

“Be the Gift.” Christmas is God’s beautiful gift to us. In Jesus, God gives us His very heart—His love made visible, touchable, and close.  In a world shaped more by artificial intelligence and advanced technology, we may feel that machines can replace many things. But one truth remains: a human being cannot be replaced. Nothing can take the place of a loving heart, a listening ear, a gentle presence, or a generous spirit. Advent reminds us that God did not send an idea, a message, or a machine—He sent a Person, His Son.  

As we move toward Christmas, we will exchange gifts wrapped in colorful paper and boxes. These gestures are beautiful, but they point to a deeper truth:  the greatest gift you can offer—to God, to your family, and to the world—is the gift of your best self.    

This Advent, let us prepare by giving what matters most: Be the best father, mother, the best grandparent, son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend. Be the kind of person whose presence itself is a gift.  Remember: who you are today is God’s gift to you; who you become is your gift to God and others. May this season prepare our hearts to be a gift to others and to welcome Jesus with joy.

Blessed Advent to you and your families.  

In Christ,
Fr. Lijoy Jose, OFM Cap.
Pastor

       

 

Left Notice 1


There is an Advent spirit in the heart of every Human person. It is one of longing, of yearning for a fulfillment that somehow lies beyond ourselves; for we long for the coming of the Lord.
As you put your gift in the 5th Sunday Collection or in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box at the back on the church, your heart will discover the true meaning of Christmas as you help those who are suffering and poor to long for the coming of the Lord.

This year, as we celebrate the Jubilee Year of the Catholic Church, we invite you to make a special gift to Together in Mission to mark this sacred time of renewal and hope. Together in Mission 2025 “Gifts of the Heart” Annual Appeal launches with Announcement Weekend on February 1-2, Commitment Weekend on February 8-9, and Follow-up Weekend on February February 15-16, 2025.

As one Catholic community of faith, rooted in prayer, let us reflect on how we can support our underserved parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Did you know that one in every five parishes and one in every four Catholic schools rely on financial assistance to continue their vital ministries? Your generosity directly impacts these communities, providing the resources they need to thrive. 

This year’s cumulative Together in Mission goal is $16.9 million, representing the collective efforts of our Catholic family across all five regions. Your parish’s goal and progress throughout the year can be tracked on the Together in Mission Leaderboard at togetherinmission.org. Let us come together to make a difference and bring the love of Christ to those in need. Please consider making a special Jubilee Year gift to Together in Mission today!
