It is very important to me that I continue learning about the history of St. Mary’s, and listen to the thoughts of those who have been part of this parish for longer than I have. If you have been coming to St. Mary’s regularly for more than 10 years, please join me for a listening session at 12pm on Sunday, July 10th. Thanks in advance! Love, Father Michael
Since Fr. Nathan is taking over the reins in Las Vegas and we have been fruitful enough to have an outreach in Santa Paula, Fr. Michael will be splitting his time between the two communities. Beginning July 1st, he will spend Sunday thru Wednesday evening in Sherman Oaks and Thursday morning thru Saturday evening in Santa Paula. You can always reach him by cellphone (let him know if you don’t have it) and email. Keep an eye out for slight changes in our Saturday evening Vesper schedule. May God continue to bless our growing community!
The Annual Eparchial Appeal is underway! You can use the instructions you received from the bishop, or you can visit our parish’s donation page here: https://ephx.org/st-marys-eparchial-appeal/ We are working to support our Eparchy as a community, so please prayerfully discern what you can give, and I know we will meet and exceed our goal (we get a large percentage back) if we have full participation. Thank you for your generosity!
Donations are being accepted through Sept. 30. So far, we have raised $8,565.00 of our $25,544.72 goal. We need to raise $16,979.72 to meet our goal.
Thank you to those who have contributed: Bates, Chirdon, Clemens, Cook, Crans, Herrera, Koman-Keogh, Michnya, Mina, Onufrak, Patzwahl, Summe, Theisen, Wiggins, P. Zimmerman, and W. Zimmerman
I just returned from the Holy Land. What an amazing blessing to spend time in one big relic of Our Lord, His mother and the Apostles etc. I’m still processing my experiences, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing my application of these experiences in my homilies over the next few weeks and months. In the meantime, I wanted to share one thought I had about halfway through the trip. We go as pilgrims, to set our eyes and feet on the “holy places”, but for the Apostles, Mary Magdalene etc. this was their normal life and stomping ground. I made this realization as I was on the shore of the Sea of Galilee where Christ multiplied the loaves and the fishes. I immediately missed all of you and my mission field of the Proto-Cathedral and Santa Paula Outreach. Our Lord desires that we make our own homes, parishes and daily lives “holy places”, and since we carry the risen Lord in the tabernacles of our hearts, we can make our own stomping ground relics of Christ.
–Fr. Michael
“Let it be done for you as you have believed.” Jesus brought healing to the centurion’s servant when he sought healing. When we have faith and live it out, our Church can continue to share the love and healing of God to the world. A vocation to holy orders or the monastic life brings that to the Church in a special way. To learn more, contact the Vocations Office at 206-329-9219 or email: vocations@ephx.org
