3 Together in Mission 2018 This year s theme of Let Us Love reminds us that our gifts to Together in Mission are an active demonstration of our faith and love for those in our Archdiocese who need our support. We invite all families, those who have given in the past, and those who have never made a gift to prayerfully consider to make a commitment to this year s campaign. Your gifts will go a long way to helping our parish reach our 2018 goal of $36,303. Every gift, regardless of the size, matters so long as we give what we can and answer the calling of our faith. Together, we can make sure God s love and presence are felt by all, especially those in need. God bless you for your generosity. It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith not only with our words but with our actions. Pope Francis Unidos En Misión 2018 El tema de Amemos de este año nos recuerda que nuestros donativos a Unidos en Misión son una demostración activa de nuestra fe y amor por aquellos en nuestra Arquidiócesis que necesitan nuestro apoyo. Invitamos a todas las familias, a aquellas que han dado en el pasado, y aquellas que nunca han hecho un regalo a que consideren comprometerse con la campaña de este año. Sus donaciones serán de gran ayuda para que nuestra parroquia alcance nuestra meta 2018 $36,303. Cada donación, independientemente de su dimensión, resulta importante siempre que donemos lo que podemos y respondamos al llamado de nuestra fe. Juntos podemos asegurar que todos sientan el amor y la presencia de Dios, en especial, las personas necesitadas. Que Dios los bendiga por la generosidad de su respuesta y apoyo. No es suficiente decir que cristianos. Debemos vivir la fe, no sólo con nuestras palabras, sino con nuestras acciones.

5 Together in Mission 2018: Let Us Love Dear Brothers and Sisters, We thank you all for your continuous support to our parish during the Together in Mission The theme of this year s Together in Mission is Let Us Love. The Archdiocese has assigned Maria Regina with the goal of $36,303. We know this is a time of financial struggle for everybody; however, we would ask you to continue to financially support Maria Regina Church to meet this goal. Would you consider, faithfully, a pledge of $80 per family? This way, the burden will be light for each family to donate. With 455 pledges, we would meet our goal, and thanks be to God. May God reward your generosity. Fr. Sang Tran, Pastor How to Make a Gift for Together in Mission 2018: Online ourmissionla.org/give Envelope Phone (213) (M-F, 8am - 5pm) Dear Brothers and Sisters, LENT Lent is a privileged time of interior pilgrimage towards Him who is the fount of mercy. Let us enter the penitential spirit of Lent. Let us embrace the difficulties, even crisis and make sacred all that surrounds us. God is present to us in the midst of helplessness and weakness. Jesus walks with us as a family and as a community: Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Mt. 18:20). We are called to help one another to find God in the merciful face of Christ through: Fasting and Almsgiving, together in Prayer: The law of fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday applies to all persons ages 18 to 59. All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on all Fridays during Lent. This applies to all persons ages 14 and older. The Stations of the Cross will take place on all Fridays during Lent at 7:00pm. May this Lenten season find the whole Church ready to bear witness to all those who live in material, moral, and spiritual destitution the Gospel message of the merciful love of God, our Father, who is ready to embrace everyone in Christ. Fr. Sang Tran, Pastor May Mary, our Holy Mother, woman of faith and sorrows, lead us to her Son. May our faith make us loyal and faithful to Him.
