Collect Prayer

Almighty ever-living God,

who in the abundance of your

kindness surpass the merits

and the desires of those who

entreat you, pour out your mercy

upon us to pardon what

conscience dreads and to give

what prayer does not dare to ask.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son, who lives and reigns

with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Roman Missal

Faith is not a light which scatters all

our darkness; but a lamp which

guides our steps in the night and

suffices for the journey. Pope Francis

Protect your families … Be sanctuaries of

respect for life. Pope Francis

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION: OCTOBER 7, 2016

This coming Friday is the First Friday of the month. We have Eucharistic Adoration at 7pm in our church. We pray for vocations, all the needs of our parish, and for our families.

“Could you not watch one hour with me?” - Mark 14:37

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition

needs a great push. People ask me: “What will

convert America and save the world?” My

answer is prayer. What we need is for every

parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed

Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.

Mother Teresa

Serving at the altar is a privileged way to draw closer to Jesus, which in turn enables you to open yourselves to others, to journey together, to set demanding goals and to find the strength to achieve them. Pope Francis

Altar Servers We are in need of altar servers, especially as Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas are coming up soon! Training will be provided.

3 reasons to consider being an altar server: 1. Respect and better understanding of the

Mass. 2. Community with peers. 3. Opportunity for leadership.

Please call Mrs. Craft at (310) 515-5208 and leave a message with your name and phone number.
