ON THE COVER
This Christmas our beautiful church was decorated with
elaborate and symbolic displays. They feature a Christmas
tree with lights, and garlands, representing everlasting
life. Greenery like holly and mistletoe, along with wreaths
and candles, symbolize eternal life and the birth of Jesus.
Nativity scenes depict the humble beginnings of Christi-
anity. The church decor aims to create a warm and inviting
ambiance, inviting the congregation to rejoice in the birth
of Christ and the hope he brings.
Sacred Heart Conference
would like to say
“Thank You!”
Because of your generous support each quarter,
the conference has been able to FEED, CLOTHE,
HOUSE, and HEAL many people in need in our local
community by: providing food from our parish pantry
and food/gas cards to homeless and families in need
each month; providing rental/utility assistance; pro-
viding furniture and appliances from the St. Vincent
de Paul Thrift Store; and by listening and praying for
individual needs.
We are also able to support the unsheltered in our
community by providing clothing, lunches, blankets,
rain ponchos and other necessities. All these acts bear
witness to God’s compassionate and liberating love,
and are made possible because of your support!
Our next collection will be January 21, 2024.
We appreciate your continued support! Nonper-
ishable food items are always needed for our parish
pantry. Items can be dropped off at the Parish Center.
If you feel called to this ministry, please join us at
our meetings on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each
month at 6:30 pm in the Parish Center. (626)339-7580
The Parish Office will be closed this
Monday, January 15
in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Day.
The only Mass for the day will be at 9:30am.

Candlemass:
Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
Friday, Feb. 2, 2024
BLESSING OF CANDLES
Traditionally candles are blest for the “new year”
on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord; known
also as Candlemass, as the Scriptures reflect on Jesus
as the light of nations. In medieval times the church-
es and monasteries would bless all the candles they
needed for the next year. These would be the candles
used for Mass and Prayer Services.
As candle making was a very hot process, this was
done during the cold of winter and then ready to be
blest come February 2nd and the Feast of the Presen-
tation of the Lord; when we present the Lord as the
light of all nations.
BLESSING OF CANDLES FOR HOME USE
Today many parishes invite families to bring their
own candles to be blest, and taken home for family
use. Traditionally this would be white candles only,
however, today we welcome any candle: white or
with a religious symbol in color on in a glass with
Christian images. The basic candle should be white.
These candles are blest for the family to use at home
for prayer together. We invite you to bring your can-
dles on Feb. 2nd.
MASS SCHEDULE
8:15am & 5:30pm
There are two Masses on Friday, Feb. 2nd. The
Blessing of Candles is done at the beginning of the
Mass. At our 8:15am Mass we are proud to have our
parish school children present. We have a second
Mass at 5:30pm. The Blessing of Candles will take
place at the start of both Masses.
JANUARY 2024
BLESSING OF THROATS
Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024 + Feast of St. Blaise
10:30am Prayer Service in Cavanagh Hall
The traditional Blessing of Throats on the Feast of
Saint Blaise is actually a prayer for good general health.
The prayer of blessing prays: “may God deliver you from
every disease of the throat and from every other illness”.
There will be a simple Prayer Service in Cavanagh
Hall at 10:30am. Our priests and deacons available will
administer this blessing individually to all present.
The Saturday evening Mass is not a Mass in honor
or St. Blaise as it is instead the celebration of the Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time, thus the blessing will not take
place during Mass. However, we will offer it after the
evening Mass on Feb. 3rd, as we would if this were a
weekday.
As this is the First Saturday of the Month we will
have our regular Mass of Anointing of the Sick, with the
sacramental anointing following the 8:15am Mass. Parish
priests will anoint. Parish deacons will administer the
Blessing of St. Blaise following the sacrament.
BENDICIÓN DE GARGANTAS
Sábado 3 de febrero de 2024 + Fiesta de San Blas
10:30 am Servicio de oración en Cavanagh Hall
La tradicional Bendición de Gargantas en la Fiesta de
San Blas es en realidad una oración por la buena salud
general. La oración de bendición reza: “Dios os libre de
toda enfermedad de la garganta y de toda otra enferme-
dad”.
Habrá un sencillo servicio de oración en el salón
Cavanagh a las 10:30am. Nuestros sacerdotes y diáco-
nos disponibles administrarán esta bendición individual-
mente a todos los presentes.
La Misa del sábado por la tarde no es una Misa en
honor ni a San Blas, sino que es la celebración del
Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, por lo que la
bendición no se llevará a cabo durante la Misa. Sin
embargo, la ofreceremos después de la Misa de la tarde
del mes de febrero. 3º, como lo haríamos si éste fuera
un día laborable.
Como este es el primer sábado del mes, tendremos
nuestra Misa regular de Unción de los Enfermos, con
la unción sacramental después de la Misa de las 8:15
am. Los párrocos ungirán. Los diáconos parroquiales
administrarán la Bendición de San Blas después del
sacramento.
 God Our Father,
You created everyone in Your own image
and likeness, to share Your love as Your
sons and daughters. Help us to see Your
face in the faces of the poor and the vul-
nerable, the forgotten and the voiceless.
Bless us as we seek to build a culture of life,
through our Onelife LA celebration. Keep
us close to our Blessed mother Mary, as we
strive to promote the dignity of all human
life from conception to natural death.

Most Reverend José H. Gómez

Dios Padre nuestro,

Tú que creaste a todos a tu imagen y seme-
janza, para compartir tu amor como hijos
e hijas, ayúdanos a ver tu rostro en los
rostros de los pobres y vulnerables, de los
olvidados y de aquellos que no tien voz.
Bendicenos en nuestros esfuerzos para
construir una cultura de vida, a travéz de
nuestra celebración UnaVida LA. Man-
tennos cercas de nuestra Santísima Madre
María, mientras trabajamos por promover
la dignidad de toda vida hermana desde la
concepcion hasta la muerte natural.

 JANUARY 2024 SECOND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
READING 1 1 Sm 3:3b-10, 19
Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD
where the ark of God was.
The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, “Here I
am.” Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am. You called
me.” “I did not call you, “ Eli said. “Go back to sleep.”
So he went back to sleep. Again the LORD called
Samuel, who rose and went to Eli. “Here I am, “ he said.
“You called me.” But Eli answered, “I did not call you,
my son. Go back to sleep.”
At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD,
because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as
yet. The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time.
Getting up and going to Eli, he said, “Here I am. You
called me.” Then Eli understood that the LORD was
calling the youth. So he said to Samuel, “Go to sleep,
and if you are called, reply, Speak, LORD, for your
servant is listening.” When Samuel went to sleep in his
place, the LORD came and revealed his presence,
calling out as before, “Samuel, Samuel!”
Samuel answered, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him,
not permitting any word of his to be without effect.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Sacrifice or offering you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, “Behold I come.”
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
to do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!”
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
READING II 1 Cor 6:13c-15a, 17-20
Brothers and sisters:
The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord,
and the Lord is for the body; God raised the Lord and
will also raise us by his power.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of
Christ? But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one
Spirit with him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a
person commits is outside the body, but the immoral
person sins against his own body.
Do you not know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,
whom you have from God, and that you are not your
own?
For you have been purchased at a price.
Therefore glorify God in your body.
ALLELUIA Jn 1:41, 17b
Alleluia, alleluia.
We have found the Messiah:
Jesus Christ, who brings us truth and grace.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Jn 1:35-42
John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he
watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of
God.” The two disciples heard what he said and fol-
lowed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him
and said to them, “What are you looking for?”
They said to him, “Rabbi” — which translated means
Teacher —, “where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come, and you will see.”
So they went and saw where Jesus was staying,
and they stayed with him that day.
It was about four in the afternoon.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.
He first found his own brother Simon and told him,
“We have found the Messiah” — which is translated
Christ —. Then he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said,
“You are Simon the son of John;
you will be called Cephas” — which is translated Peter.
