My Dear Parishioners,
In today’s Gospel we hear the words of Jesus, “Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
We can prepare ourselves for Christ's Second Coming by living a life of active faith, grace, and charity.
We can participate in the Sacraments (especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation); and, also, through active love of neighbor, practicing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and using personal gifts and resources faithfully (as illustrated in parables like the Talents)
“Watch with the heart, watch with faith, watch with love, watch with charity, watch with good works…; make ready the lamps, make sure they do not go out …; renew them with the inner oil of an upright conscience; then shall the Bridegroom enfold you in the embrace of his love and bring you into his banquet room, where your lamp can never be extinguished” (St Augustine, Sermon, 93).

Added to our Mass at 9:30 am at the Carondelet Center, we have been granted use of St. Matthews Church in the Palisades on Sundays between 12:30 – 3 pm and we are, therefore, planning for a 1 pm Mass there in the near future.

NEWS AROUND THE ARCHDIOCESE
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was beatified (not yet canonized as a saint) on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri. Sheen never talked down to anyone, he lifted people up. He never watered down the Church’s teachings or avoided tough conversations about our need for conversion. To read more about the life of Archbishop Sheen go to www.lacatholic.org – Fulton Sheen
