LATEST NEWS
The church is preparing for reopening on June 9th. There are several steps we need to take prior to reopening to ensure the safety of our parishioners and staff. Please read the below plan for details about visiting the church.
Archdiocese of Los Angeles Approved Plan for Reopening Visitation.
REGISTER TO ATTEND ONSITE MASS
EVERYONE MUST PRE-REGISTER TO ATTEND MASS.
While Visitation undergoes restorations inside the church Saturday/Sunday Masses will be held outside in the Junior High Courtyard. We are allowed 100 people at this Mass, which includes the priests and ushers. In order to ensure that we do not exceed 100 people, we are requiring all Mass attendees pre-register. This is also an important step in contact tracing. Please register below or call the Parish Office to be added to the list or for any questions.
In order to re-open safely, we are in need of volunteers at the Church for Sunday Masses, Weekday Masses, and Weekday devotional visits. Please see the volunteer descriptions and sign-ups below.
9:30AM Sunday Mass as well as Daily Masses will continue to be streamed online and Archbishop Gomez has extended the dispensation.
