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).

We continue to hold outdoor Saturday Vigil Mass at five in the afternoon. (In case of unexpected rain, Mass will be held indoor with open windows and limited occupancy.) Registration is required by calling the parish office. Always wear face coverings and warm clothing. Use main door to enter while side door is for exit only.

Rev. Tomas Karanauskas sends his Christmas greetings to parishioners and friends.

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.

We are blessed with the fidelity of parishioners who send their Sunday collection envelopes in the mail. Despite the closing of the church and suspension of the sacraments due to the ongoing pandemic, there are expenses and bills to take care of and we rely only from your generous contributions. Our pastor says daily Mass in private. He prays for everyone’s safety and good health. In God’s spirit we are still united through prayers from your homes and with the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in our church. We appreciate your thoughtfulness during these days of anxiety and fear. Thank you very much and may God’s blessings be always upon you. For your convenience you can give on line by clicking the donate button, send it through mail or drop it on rectory’s front door. “Give and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together and running over.” Luke 6:38

Pilgrimages are becoming more popular, these days for many purposes. In addition to gain indulgences by visiting and praying to holy shrines, the pilgrim is able to make discoveries along the way, about his or her self, the human spirit and the culture of the land to be explored. Meeting people of diverse backgrounds, sharing experiences, camaraderie and interactions will provide a better understanding of our faith community. Through this, we put our prayers into action. Every year, our parish holds an annual ministry to promote goodwill and brotherhood between Lithuanians and Americans .

We are accepting registration for the Sacrament of Confirmation and for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Preparatory Program.
