It is a tradition that in times of plague, disasters, calamities or imminent danger, sacred images are put out on windows and doors to implore for safety and protection. St. Clare of Assisi held the Sacred Host on her window to prevent invaders from attacking the city. With the on-going pandemic and in lieu of the Annual Evening With Mary, the image of Virgen de los Remedios will be exposed from the main door of the church to allow parishioners to present their petitions and offer flowers to our Lady. This will be on Monday, December 7, 2020. Veneration starts at 4:00 in the afternoon, recitation of the rosary for healing and hope of the cure at 5:30, followed with an outdoor vigil Mass for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Registration is required by calling the parish office (323) 664 4660. Health and safety protocols apply.

The Mass in Lithuanian is available on live stream direct from the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Vilnius, every Sunday at 8:00 AM, Pacific Time. Click the link to the Divine Mercy Sanctuary (Dievo Gailestinguno Sventone) or go to : http://www.gailestingumas.lt

The following is the Holy Father’s Guideline on the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the current pandemic . Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by votum confessionis, that is, by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones (cf. CCC, no. 1452).
