Letter from our Pastor: Cardinal Mahony’s Retirement

CTK — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:52:07 +0000

Dear Parishioners:

The Canon Law of the Church requires every bishop on his seventy-fifth birthday to submit his letter of resignation to the Holy Father. In this past month of February 2010 our Archbishop, Cardinal Roger Mahony, reached his seventy-fourth birthday. The process for the selection of the next Archbishop of Los Angeles has already begun. The Cardinal and the Council of Priests have requested that all parishes and parishioners of the Archdiocese join with them in prayer for the selection of the Cardinal’s successor. The following prayer has been approved for recitation in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Lord, God,
You are our eternal shepherd and guide.

In your mercy, grant to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles a shepherd who will walk in your ways and whose watchful care will bring us your blessing.

In your love for us, give us the joy of receiving a shepherd who will be an example of goodness to your people and who will fill our hearts and minds with the truth of the gospel.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Lenten Message from the Pastor

CTK — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:24:01 +0000

Dear Parishioners:

How many times have we wished, “If only I was in Jesus’ presence so that I can talk to him” and don’t realize that we do. As Catholics we have a gift that no one else has. . . Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. Here at Christ the King, we have the opportunity to adore, meditate, pray, and to be one with Christ during the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every First Friday of the month from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and every Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

I encourage you, especially during this Lenten Season, to take this gift being offered to all of us and to show our love for the Lord by being with him during the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

During the exposition, the Holy Eucharist should not be left by himself and to ensure that He is not left alone, we have started a sign-up sheet for the First Friday of the month from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. which is located in the front entrance of the Church. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Parish Office.

Yours in Christ, Fr. Antonio Cacciapuoti

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Tuesday: 7:00 pm—9:00 pm

1st Friday: 7:30 am to 9:00 pm

Confirmation Update

CTK — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:14:46 +0000

As a community of faith, we are each called to help enrich the lives of OUR youth, especially those who are seeking out their faith. There are many ways to help, but the one that we forget the most is the power of prayer. Our Confirmation Candidates will be attending their second year retreat on March 5, 6, and 7, 2010, in Running Springs, California. This retreat is the final step of their confirmation process, but marks the beginning of their personal journey with Christ. During these coming weeks, we ask that you pray for our confirmation candidates to have an open mind and open heart so that they would be able to experience a personal encounter with our Lord. Please feel free to contact Lourdes Ciau, Confirmation Coordinator, at 323.217.3344.
