Overview
Celebrations throughout the liturgical year of the Church take many forms – daily Mass, Sacraments, devotions, and various other rites that flow from our Sunday celebration of the Eucharist as a community. Our liturgical life nourishes our religious faith, binding us to our heavenly Father and to each other.
As we engage in parish life, there will be times when we need to be ministered to by fellow parishioners, and other times when we bring our own unique gifts to share with others. St. Paul speaks about how the Spirit gives each and everyone of us special gifts - these gifts are called charisms. Everyone has received gifts from the Lord that were given for the good of the community. We encourage you to prayerfully consider how we can meet some of your needs and how God is calling you to meet the needs of others.
If you are a minister, please remember to send your availability by the 20th of each month to our ministry contact. The schedules are printed by the 20th every month and are available on the website, and hard copies in the Parish Center and Sacristy.
Altar Servers
Young people from the Catholic School or the Parish School of Religion, can serve at our Lord’s Table, beginning in grade 5. They will receive special training to assist the priest/deacon in the celebration of the Mass and at special liturgies. For more information about this ministry, contact the Parish Office at (626) 915-7873.
Children’s Liturgy
At the 10:00 AM Mass every Sunday, volunteer lay presiders share and discuss Sunday readings in an age-appropriate way to children in 1st-5th grade. Children are dismissed just after opening prayers and go to the Conference Room to hear the Word proclaimed in a simplified way. The children rejoin the congregation and the Mass during the Preparation of the Gifts. No registration is required and it is free to all families.

Ushers are men and women who assist with seating and facilitate the collection and communion aspects of Mass. Greeters are individuals and often entire families who join together with the Holy Spirit to welcome our community into our sacred place of worship.
