My Dear Parishioners,
Even though we, as Catholics, are called to seek peace in all things, I believe it is important for us to reflect and celebrate our Veterans. We must thank them for their service and thank them for the freedom that we, and so many other people in the world, enjoy. Many of our soldiers are good Christians who often have been called to die for others. Jesus says that there is no greater gift than that. If you search our listing of Catholic Saints, over five hundred of them were soldiers, including the Peace-loving St. Francis of Assisi.
War is an absolutely terrible thing, but unfortunately, it happens too often. With all of the evil in the world, there must be some people who will fight to keep freedom going. We in the United States of America should be very proud of our veterans and all that they have accomplished. We should always keep them in our prayers.

NEWS AROUND THE ARCHDIOCESE
Archbishop Jose Gomez released the pastoral letter "The Wonder of America" on October 22, 2026, to mark the upcoming 500th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 2031. The letter frames the Guadalupe event as the spiritual origin story of the Americas, connects the mission to historic Californian missions, and calls Catholics to a five-year spiritual renewal leading up to a Guadalupe Jubilee. You can read the full letter by going to www.lacatholics.org Archbishop Gomez Letter Ahead of the 500th Guadalupe Anniversary.
