Pastor’s Corner

My Dear Brothers and Sisters:

This is a great weekend and a wonderful month for our community! This Sunday at our 5:30pm Mass 61 of our youth will be confirmed by the Most Reverend José Gomez, of Los Angeles. Please keep them your prayers that after receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation they will continue to be involved in our community as active parishioners committed to their Catholic faith.

I have some additional exciting news to share. At long last, I have accomplished one of my early goals, one that I have wanted since I first arrived here—that our church would be blessed with a statue of our own patron, St. Bede the Venerable. After almost seven years, I am delighted to announce we have our statue of St. Bede. Please note his presence in the west corner of the sanctuary. The statue is from Italy and made of wood. This Sunday, at the conclusion of the Confirmation Mass, Archbishop Gomez will bless our statue. Many people have asked me for information about our patron and I am delighted to share that I will soon have you a short biography of Bede, his life and accomplishments, and the story of how our actually came to possess a first degree of him. Stay tuned for more on this effort — I promise to keep you informed as to the progress.

Our Catholic Easter Season is such a rich and faith-filled time for us. Coming up on May 13th, we are again blessed when our children will receive their First Holy Communion. I ask that you also keep these first communicants in your prayers— praying that their encounter with Jesus will be memorable and that they will cherish the moment – not just that day but every time they receive Christ in the Eucharist throughout their lives.

Going Above and Beyond The Kids’ Corner Sharing the Gospel You are one of God's sheep. Jesus calls you by name. You recognize his voice. Close your eyes. Listen to the voices of your family and friends. You can tell who is talking by the sound of their voices. You choose to follow Jesus on his path. You love God above everything. You love your neighbor as yourself. You share your toys, money and food with your family and the poor. Prayer Jesus, help me hear the right voices, and not follow the wrong voices. Mission for the Week I will listen and follow directions of my parents and teachers right away.
