HOLY WEEK
With Fr. Michael
Masses will be available on the Parish Websites, the evening of each day.
National Day of Prayer & Plenary Indulgence
on Good Friday
On Good Friday, Catholics throughout the nation are asked to join as one with Archbishop Gomez, President of the USCCB to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart at 9:00 AM (PT). The event will be livestreamed here: USCCB and here: Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
For a an informational flyer, see: Invitation.
By a special grant from the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See for those who pray for the end of the pandemic, a plenary indulgence is available for those who join Archbishop Gomez in praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart on Good Friday. A plenary Indulgence removes all of the temporal punishment due to sins and may be applied to oneself or to the souls of the deceased [Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1471]. To receive this indulgence, a member of the faithful would need to:
- pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart on Good Friday
- be truly repentant of any sins they have committed and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (at the earliest opportunity)
- pray for the Holy Father’s intentions.
