A Message from our Pastor, Fr. Bobby

The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. As the Church, we are the body of Christ. But just as Jesus’ human body was made flesh in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit, so the Church is constantly guided by that same Spirit. The point of our synod “listening sessions” was together listen not to our own voices, but to the Holy Spirit speaking through us. That is not easy and takes a lot of discernment. But it is worth it.

Congratulations to Jackie and Tony Yanez, who were honored this past week for their work for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, especially for Circle V Ranch. May God bless them always. Please pray for me this week as I will be with our Capuchin brothers in Pittsburgh for their provincial chapter.  May the Risen Lord bless you all!      Fr. Bobby

Jubilee Year Proclamation

As we emerge from a time of crisis, Jesus invites His Church in Los Angeles to rise anew. With providential timing, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has an occasion for such a new beginning: the 250th anniversary of the founding of Mission San Gabriel Archangel by St. Junípero Serra. As proclaimed at each Mass, Archbishop José H. Gomez has declared a Jubilee Year in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles beginning September 11, 2021, and concluding September 10, 2022. This “Forward in Mission” Jubilee Year celebration will be a special time of grace not only to remember the rich legacy of the Catholic faith in this land but above all, to revive the life of faith in our local Church through a fresh proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the raising up of a new generation of missionary disciples.

USCCB Daily Mass Readings

"Keep your eyes fixed on the outstretched arms of Christ crucified, let yourself be saved over and over again." Pope Francis

"Jesus keeps knocking on our doors, the doors of our lives. He doesn't do this by magic, with special effects, with flashing lights and fireworks. Jesus keeps knocking on our door in the faces of our brothers and sisters, in the faces of our neighbors, in the faces of those at our side."   Pope Francis
