Welcome Fr. Oscar Daniel Martinez
On September 1, 2020 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 contracted COVID. -
Parish Mission Statement
“We, the people of La Purisima Concepcion Catholic Church, in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Christ in Word and Sacrament.
We are called and sent by Christ to live joyfully and gratefully the life God has given us and to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of love, faith, service, unity and solidarity, we strive to bring people closer together and closer to God.” -
Parish Hall renovation appeal
Dear Parishioners,
We are in the process of renovating our bathrooms in the Parish Hall. The bathrooms have needed repair and upgrading for some time. We have been able to start this project but need donations in order to purchase the new tile and fixtures for both bathrooms.
Currently, I am asking all our parishioners to help contribute towards this project. The Parish Hall is first and foremost available for all the parish organizations to use. At some point, we hope to renovate the rest of the hall and the kitchen to make it more desirable to rent out to other groups.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting our parish hall renovation.
May God Bless You,
Father Oscar Daniel Martinez

COVID-19 Updates
Revised June 21, 2021
According to the new guidelines from the Archdiocese and the local health department, the church will now be fully opened. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation is now lifted. Only those who have serious and legitimate health reasons are dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation.
Parishioners can still wear masks if they prefer, but it is not required, nor is social distancing. However, if someone has not been fully vaccinated, then wearing a face mask and socially distancing is strongly recommended.
Mass schedules will remain the same, with English masses Monday through Friday at 8 a.m. and Spanish masses Monday through Friday at 7:00 p.m. Saturday mass is at 5:00 p.m. in English and 7:00 p.m. in Spanish. Sunday masses will be at 10:00 in English and noon in Spanish. All masses will now be held inside the church.
The church will be open daily for private prayer after the 8:00 a.m. mass and closed after the 7:00 p.m. mass. The restrictions remaining are that communion will still be given only in the hand. Also, ushers, lectors and Eucharistic Ministers must still wear a mask when serving at Mass.
The Pastoral Center will be open daily from 8:30-4:30, Monday through Friday, being closed for lunch from 12:30-1:00.
Confession, beginning Monday, June 21st will no longer be held on Fridays. Confessions will now be held in the confessionals at the church 30 minutes before any of the weekday Masses. This is on a first come, first serve basis.
____________________________________
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.
Baptisms:
Community baptisms are held the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. Spanish Baptisms are at 9:30 a.m. and English Baptisms are at 10:30 a.m. If someone wishes to have a private Baptism, please call the Parish Office and schedule with the Parish Secretary.
Anointing of the Sick, Weddings, Quinceaneras, and Funerals:
Call the Pastoral Center to make arrangements.
