​"God has not grown weary of us. Let us welcome Lent as the great season in which he reminds us: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Ex 20:2). Lent is a season of conversion, a time of freedom." - Pope Francis' 2024 Lenten Message

Recent news reports about the immigration actions and statements by the new federal administration have caused concern in our communities especially regarding the impact of these actions on our immigrant families.

The pastoral offices of the archdiocese for: Divine Worship, Life, Justice, and Peace, New Evangelization and Parish Life, Religious Education, and the Department of Catholic Schools and your Regional Bishop invite you to attend a regional workshop on all things related to the new Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA).

The recent fires in Los Angeles have deeply affected our schools, parishes, and beloved community members. In times of trial, our faith calls us to come together in solidarity to provide hope and healing for those who are struggling.

OLHR School and its office remain closed, and ALL classes will continue VIRTUALLY: January 9, and Friday, January 10, 2025

The recent fires have impacted many in our communities. Archbishop José Gomez has shared the following message with our Catholic community of faith in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles:

Archbishop José Gomez will be joined by Bishop Matthew Elshoff, Bishop Brian Nunes and Bishop Albert Bahhuth to celebrate a special Mass for the victims and first responders in each of the respective pastoral regions that have been impacted.

As we joyfully celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, we remember that Jesus, born in Bethlehem, is revealed to all of us. His light shines on the rich and the poor, kings and shepherds, the wise and the foolish, saints and sinners. This feast is a beautiful testament to God’s desire to reveal Himself to each of us, fostering a personal relationship rooted in His boundless love that has come into the world.

Everyone from around the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is invited to join in as the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.

As we gather in the spirit of our Catholic faith, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a blessed and joyful holiday season to all members of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish.

As we look forward to the New Year, may it be a time of abundant blessings and spiritual growth for each of you. Together, let us embrace 2025 with hope and dedication, continuing our journey in faith and service to our community with love and compassion.

In this season of giving, we invite you to reflect on the words of 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

By making a charitable donation before December 31st, you not only help us bridge the gaps in our budget but also have the opportunity to reduce your annual tax bill. Please consult your tax advisor for guidance. To ensure your donation is properly documented, we encourage you to use your monthly envelopes, allowing us to provide you with a receipt if needed. Your support is a testament to your faith and commitment to our shared spiritual journey. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Join us in celebrating the birth of Jesus this Christmas season. We warmly invite our community to come together in worship and joy. As Pope Francis beautifully reminds us, "Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace." Please review the attached schedule for details on our Christmas Masses. We look forward to sharing this blessed time with you.

Las Posadas also teaches us about hospitality. As we know, Mary was about to give birth to Jesus, but she and Joseph could not find a place to spend the night. No one would welcome them into their house, and there was no place for them in the local inns. This taught us to feel how they must have felt when no one opened the door to them. This still happens today: there are many people in desperate need to leave their country of origin who are not welcomed in a country that is not theirs. They are fleeing violence, poverty, and danger and trying to find a new life in another country, but the doors are shut in their faces; they are forgotten, marginalized, and treated with disrespect. They are stripped of their dignity, often forced to do jobs that no one else wants to do for much less money than they deserve. Just like the Holy Family needed help 2,000 years ago, there are people today who need our help and we need to open the doors of our hearts and let them in. There are people in our society who need our charity and our hospitality to have a better life.

Blessed are you, holy Virgin Mary, deserving of all praise; from you rose the sun of justice, Christ our God
