Welcome to the Saint Ferdinand Church Website

WEEKLY EVENTS

Third Week of Lent

Merciful and Gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
---------Psalm 103:8

ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
We extend a warm welcome to Father Thomas Ovalle, O.M.I., who has taken the time from his responsibilities as Area Superior of the Oblates of Texas and the southwest to be with us for the Lenten Mission in English.  Come and experience the grace of a Lenten Mission on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening of the coming week, beginning at 7:00 PM.
 
Padre Walter Guerra Calderon, comes from El Salvador to preach the Mission in Spanish for our three Oblate parishes – at Mary Immaculate in Pacoima, Monday through Thursday at 7:00 PM.  Invite family and friends to join us.
 
Friday evening is our parish evening of Lenten devotion.  Everyone is invited to a Lenten Supper of Soup and Bread from 6:00 to 7:15PM, followed by Stations of the Cross in the Church.
 
Next Sunday is the Blood Drive, sponsored by our Life Teen Group.  There are still a few reserved spaces left.  Call the rectory – Give the gift of life, donate blood.
 
Next Sunday, there will be a second collection to benefit Catholic Relief Services.  Catholic Relief is the organization of all of us – U.S. Catholics, for international relief – emergency aid and on-going development.  We know that the earthquake disasters in Haiti and Chile call to our hearts for generosity in next week’s appeal.
 
We take this opportunity to say thanks to those who have pledged to this year’s Together In Mission Campaign – for the assistance of our Catholic communities in poor and dangerous neighborhoods of the city and metropolitan area.  We have pledged $104,389.50.  In addition, 40% of our goal of $48,367.00 has already been remitted.  Thanks for your generosity.  If you have not as yet joined in this common work of charity – the ushers will give you an envelope after Mass.
 
Mrs. Lillian Elsey, principal coordinator of the Women’s ACTS retreats will take moment to explain this wonderful opportunity and to invite the women of the parish to experience ACTS.
