WHAT'S
GOING ON
at
CORPUS CHRISTI CHURCH.
My Dear Parishioners,
This past June, eleven new priests were ordained for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles at the Annual Ordination Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. This is the biggest class we’ve had in the Archdiocese in several years.
The Ordination Mass is a sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a priest and is enabled to minister in Christ’s name. The essential Rite of the Sacrament takes place during the Laying on of Hands, an ancient tradition in the Church.
With the many challenges that we encounter in life, people are seeking for something more, and these men with their diverse backgrounds and experiences may be very helpful to our church community and might inspire young people to encounter Christ and consider a vacation.
The men who have entered the priesthood are Deacons Thomas James Green, Miguel Cabrera, Joseph Cho, Stephen Watson, Eduardo Tovar, Marko Rudela, Anthony Huynh, Alejadro Reynaga, Jaime Arriga, Eric Mejia, and Lucio Moreno.
Biographies and video stories of each of the new priests are available at lacatholics.org/ordination.
Please keep them in your prayers.
Siempre Adelante!
Monsignor Liam Kidney
Pastor

VOTIVE CANDLES FOR YOUR INTENTIONS
You are invited to come into the church to light votive candles at our Blessed Mother shrine for your own intentions, or in memory of your loved ones.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A MASS SAID FOR SOMEONE?
A lovely way to remember a deceased loved one, a recently deceased friend, parent of a friend, or relative, or someone who is ill, or perhaps just a friend you would like to honor, is to have a Mass said for them. Each day and weekend a Mass is offered in memory of a deceased person, or for the intentions of someone who is ill, or perhaps whose birthday is that day.
If you would like to have a Mass said for someone, you can contact the parish office at 310-454-1328, come in person, or email jane@corpuschristichurch.com with the name of the person, if they are deceased or living, and if you are requesting a specific date. Please note that the annual Mass book fills up quickly, and often specific dates are booked well in advance. You can pick up a card to send to the person or their family so they will know when the Mass is being said, and that you are thinking of them. We can also mail the card for you. We would love to honor your request, so give us a call!
As always, our priests are available to anoint those who are very ill and to bury the dead. Please call the parish office, 310-454-1328, and you will be directed to our emergency pager number.
God Bless You All and Keep You Well!
