VATICAN II:

Renewing Our Faith Today

Wednesday Nights Beginning Sept. 9

Led by Fr. Oliver Coughlin

Join us for a 5-part series: Discovering Vatican II – Renewing Our Faith Today.  Come deepen your understanding of one of the most significant events in the modern history of the Catholic Church. This series explores the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), its purpose, and its lasting influence on Catholic life.

Session 1 - Sept. 9: Why Vatican II? – An overview of Pope St. John XXIII’s vision for the Council: to deepen the Church’s witness to Christ and help her proclaim the Gospel more effectively in today’s world. 

Session 2 - Sept. 23: Dei Verbum – Divine Revelation through Scripture and Tradition.

Session 3 - Oct. 14: Lumen Gentium – The Church as the “Light of the Nations” and the People of God. 

Session 4 - Oct. 21: Sacrosanctum Concilium – The renewal of the Sacred Liturgy. 

Session 5 - Oct. 28: Gaudium et Spes – The Church’s engagement with the joys and hopes of the modern world.

Each session begins at 5:30 PM with appetizers and refreshments for fellowship. The presentation runs from 6:00–6:30 PM (no more than 30 minutes), followed by time for Q&A and discussion.  All are welcome—parishioners, newcomers, and anyone interested in how Vatican II continues to shape our prayer, worship, community, and mission.

Pope Leo XIV's Catechesis Series

On January 7, 2026, Pope Leo XIV began a series of catecheses on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, inviting the faithful to rediscover the actual texts of the council fathers. The work of the Council Fathers paved the way for a new ecclesial season, placing at its center the mystery of salvation and the unity between God and his people. At the same time, it opened the Church to seek dialogue with the people of good will for a more just and fraternal world. We see that the documents have lost none of their relevance and are pertinent to the demands and challenges of today. Closely studying the Council documents will help us to be attentive interpreters of the signs of the times, and to proclaim the Gospel to all. As we make our journey of rediscovering the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, let us welcome the past with its rich tradition; let us consider the present with its joys and sorrows; and let’s look towards the future with an urgent appeal for greater justice, love and peace.

Bereavement Support Group

Thursdays from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Parish Center

The mission of the Bereavement Support Group is to give care and support to those who are grieving the death of a loved one. We know that a helpful way to work through one’s grief is to be with others who are facing a similar loss. The support group provides a safe environment for the expression of feelings and experiences, helping participants to find meaning in their loss and to move forward through our Catholic faith. If you are hurting after losing a loved one, we hope that you will come to grief support and find strength in our community. For more info, call Wendy Figueroa at 714-580-2677 or our Spiritual Advisor Deacon John Davies at 562-355-1550.
