Welcome Fr. Oscar Daniel Martinez
On September 1, Fr. Oscar Daniel Martinez Gutierrez ("Father Daniel") joined our pastoral staff as our Administrator.
Please continue to pray for Father Daniel, whose father, Ismael, passed away on October 8, 2020, and especially his mother and four siblings who have contracted COVID. Father Daniel does not know when he will be returning from Guadalajara. He will keep us updated.
Father Charles Lueras is the temporary administrator for our parish until Father Daniel returns. At this time, we do not know when that will be. Welcome, Father Charles! -

COVID-19 Updates
Revised November 16, 2020
The Church re-opening plan is based on requirements from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and from the CDC/SB County guidelines for places of Worship. We are monitoring archdiocesan notices and local health and safety announcements for changes to restrictions. We will modify our plan as these mandates are issued.
We are now back on the Purple Level, which means NO inside gatherings. Due to the canopy's tearing and the poles bending, we are not able to have any protection to brave the weather conditions during outside masses. We have made a schedule for 2 weeks and will wait for further mandates from the archdiocese before proceeding past the next two weeks.
Wed., Thurs., and Friday, November 18, 19 and 20, there will be an 8:00 mass which will be livestreamed on Facebook. Mass will be held inside the Parish Hall but no one is allowed to attend except for Father, Deacon and musician.
There will be no masses on Saturday, November 21st. On Sunday, November 22, there will be a 10:00 Mass in English to be held in the parking lot outdoors. This mass will also be livestreamed. There will also be a 12:00 Mass in Spanish to be held in the parking lot outdoors, which will also be livestreamed.
Please bring your own chairs to the outdoor masses, as well as blankets, umbrellas, water, and wipes and whatever you feel you need in case of inclement weather. In case of rain, mass will be canceled.
The following week, there will be an 8:00 Mass in English on Monday, November 23, an 8:00 Mass in Spanish on Tuesday, November 24 and an 8:00 Mass in English on Wednesday, November 25. These masses will be livestreamed only.
Please bring your own chairs to the outdoor masses, as well as blankets, umbrellas, water, and wipes and whatever you feel you need in case of inclement weather. In case of rain, mass will be canceled.
We ask your patience and understanding during these most difficult times. We will update you frequently so make sure you check the website and Facebook for any changes.
