Ministries

Our St. Louise de Marillac Guadalupana Ministry is an organization of Mexican/American women (but not limited, open to all), who provide works of charity, service, and prayer to our entire parish family.

The society is dedicated to spreading the love of our Lord Jesus Christ through his blessed mother, our Blessed Virgin de Guadalupe.

Together, our SLDM Guadalupanas …

• Provide a celebration for our Virgin de Guadalupe on her feast day of December 12th every year, with an early morning rosary and mariachi Mass, followed by a reception in our parish hall.
• Attend Adoration on First Fridays of the Month from 4:00-5:00 with rosary, song, and prayer.
• Host an evening of soup and scripture one Friday during the Lenten season.
• Award scholarships to graduating students of St. Louise School (based upon successful completion of scholarship requirements).
• Provide numerous novenas and prayers for our deceased loved ones.

The Guadalupanas provide funding for the above activities through their Casino Day, Breakfast, and Dinner/Dance fundraisers throughout the year.

The Guadalupanas meet once a month on the 3rd Tuesday of every month in the Parish Office Conference Room at 9:30 a.m.  Women 18 years of age and older are welcome.

For further information, please contact Rachel Flores, Chair of the Guadalupana Ministry, through our Parish Office, (626) 915-7873.

Reading the Bible is such an important part of our growth in the Christian life. Reading it in a prayerful manner with a discussion for understanding is transforming. If we want this growth and change to happen, we must practice some particular skills, ways of reading and listening. We need to be able to listen for the voice of God. Through quiet listening we become aware of the presence of God in the Scriptures.

Through this six-lesson Bible study, we will be diving deep into understanding who Jesus is and what that means for us. We will be learning how to abide in the wisdom of Christ to navigate the ever-increasing demands and messages of our culture. We will learn what it means to live in the freedom of Christ and how to continually set our minds on Him.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help meets on Wednesdays at 6:45 PM in the Church.

The Catholic Church venerates St. Maximilian Kolbe as the patron saint of drug addicts and families recovering from drug addiction, among others.

Here at St. Louise, the St. Maximilian Prayer Society (formerly Families Healing from Substance Abuse through Faith, Prayer and Group Support), is dedicated to supporting families of all parishioners with a loved one(s) afflicted by substance abuse and other addictions through prayer and group support.

For more information, please contact the parish office at 626-915-7873.

The Hospitality ministry serves God by welcoming and showing kindness to guests. Christ showed kindness to strangers and welcomed those who accepted the Him. It's only natural that a church dedicated to spreading Christ's message would do the same.

Parishioners gather together to portray the Way of the Cross, helping the faithful to participate in the passion of Jesus. Few words are spoken by the actors as people listen to the speaker tell of the events that happened during each Station and meditate on the prayers being read. The live action of the actors helps the faithful visualize what happened in a way different way from viewing the traditional Stations of the Cross. Prayerful meditation of each station may bring a person into a deeper understanding of Christ’s passion. Opening our hearts to Christ’s suffering during his passion and death helps us to celebrate Christ’s Resurrection on Easter with renewed hope and a better relationship with Jesus. 

Volunteer opportunities include being part of the cast, the lighting crew, helping with the costumes (possibly some sewing) or advertising. Practice takes place a few weeks prior to Palm Sunday. The stations are portrayed on Palm Sunday and Good Friday.

For more information or to volunteer, please contact our Confirmation and Youth Ministry Coordinator Ivonne Melendrez at 626-332-5822, extension 405.
