IMPORTANT NOTICE

Dear Families, 

​

Advent is upon us and we are so excited to reach a NEW liturgical year- HELLO 2021! 

The season of Advent is special to Catholics around the world. We experience the coming of night earlier while the tradition of holiday lights around the neighborhood reminds us that on Christmas day the true light of the world arrives. Jesus is born and He defeats the darkness of the world. 

Our catechists created wonderful Advent lessons with crafts to be done by families. Make sure to visit the class sections to download activities or view videos. Log onto FORMED to view excellent holiday inspired films. Follow the Gospel reflections for the Sundays of Advent in the Parent & Family resource section. 

Purchase the Gathering Box Prayer Kit for your family to use during the holidays and during various liturgical seasons of the year. Each kit is $30 and available in the RE office. Call to reserve yours today. View demo video:CLICK HERE 

Celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, December 8 either virtually at home or in-person at the St. Clare Plaza. Details below in Upcoming Celebrations. 

Sincere thanks to the families and parishioners (some anonymous) for participating in the Secret Santa project for foster teens. Due to the generous response, 40 teens in LA County will have a brighter holiday season not only receive a gift but knowing that they are prayed for by this community of faith. List of donors available in the parish bulletin. 

Wishing all our families a blessed, healthy and safe Advent season,

Nancy Nazarian-Medina, Director of Religious Education

Our Mission

The Office of Religious Education strives to develop a strong sense of faith and Catholic identity in the youngest members of our church through young adulthood. We inspire to cultivate personal relationships for each child with our Lord Jesus Christ. Through these means, each child will become a living missionary disciple of Christ whose character and life are witnesses to His sacred teachings in the Gospels.
