My Dear Parishioners,

On this Easter Sunday 2025, three months after the devastating fires in the Palisades, we take time to look back and to honor the suffering and the resilience of our faith community.

These past few months we have traveled together through many hardships, and we have roamed from church to church.

Thanks be to God, we are now in a “semi-permanent” sacred space where we celebrate our Mass each week.

This Easter it is especially important for us to remember that Christ’s resurrection is the source of our hope. “For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection” (Romans 6:5)

This message that we share in the benefits of Christ’s Resurrection is a reminder that we must never lose hope, even in the darkest times.

Since the fire, there have been many priests, laypeople, parishes and schools from all over the country who have reached out to us in solidarity and hopefulness.

• ·       From the Missions Committee at a Methodist Church in Texas: “Our church continues to life your community up in our prayers as your congregants grieve the damage done to your church and many of their homes. We pray that God  will swiftly heal and rebuild your church spiritually, emotionally, and physically and will bestow innumerable blessings upon your congregation.”

• ·       From Corpus Christi Church in Piedmont, CA: “We heard the devastating news about your church and your homes, and we are extremely saddened. We can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling. Our school community decided to start a fundraiser, so we sold ‘free dress’ passes, and all of the profits are being donated to your parish. We are holding you close in our hearts and sending you lots of prayers.”

• ·       Also, Holy Family Parish in Denver, Colorado, have collected from their parishioners cards of encouragement, which they wanted to share with you, and which we have placed in a basket at the Chapel entrance. Please feel free to take these cards and share them with your friends and neighbors.

Happy Easter!

I wish you all the joy of renewal and the grace of God’s never-ending love.

Siempre Adelante!

Monsignor Liam Kidney
Pastor
