My Dear Parishioners,
The month of October is Respect Life Month.
Years ago, the Catholic bishops in the United States put together A Campaign in Support of Life, and I wanted to share this plan with you.
This plan calls upon all the resources of the Church – its people, services, and institutions to pursue this effort with renewed energy and commitment in four major areas:
- Public Information and Education to deepen understanding of the sanctity of human life and the humanity of unborn children, and the mission of the Church to serve all human life.
- Pastoral Care for women with problems related to pregnancy; for all who have been involved in abortion; for those who are disabled, sick, and dying, and their families and caregivers; for those who have lost loved ones to violent crime; and for those in prison sentenced to death.
- Public Policy efforts directed to restoring legal protection to the lives of unborn children and those vulnerable to pressures to end their lives by assisted suicide, and to providing morally acceptable alternatives to abortion and assisted suicide.
- Prayer and Worship directed to participation in the sacramental life of the Church and in programs of communal and individual prayer, that the culture of death that surrounds us today will be replaced by a culture of life and love.
As Catholics, we are urged to advance pro-life positions within our families, church, and community, as well as within professional organizations.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY COMES TO CORPUS AND THE PALISADES Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles launched a four-day Pacific Palisades Community Build on September 23 to help rebuild houses that suffered varying amounts of fire damage, The four-day build began on Wednesday with remarks at Habitat’s base camp at the site of the Corpus Christi rectory, which was destroyed in the fire. Monsignor Liam Kidney addressed the volunteers and attendees: “Thanks to all of you for being willing to be part of the creation of a home for humanity. If we could only remember we’re all God’s children – being together and being there for one another is the greatest gift that we can give to each other.” Over 700 volunteers participated over the next 5 days.
REST IN PEACE: Please keep in your prayers our long-time parishioner, Julie Stoeckinger, who passed this week. May she rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
Siempre Adelante!
Monsignor Liam Kidney
