Monthly Senior Citizen Luncheons  As sign of thank you to all of our senior citizens, the parish sponsors a bi-monthly senior's lunch in the Parish Hall. These luncheons are usually held on the fourth Thursday of each month and are pre-announced in the bulletin and from the pulpit. Mark your calendars--you must make a reservation. Anyone interested in helping with this event, kindly contact the parish office during the week at 323-664-2111. 

(If you are, or know of, a senior who is homebound and would like to receive delivery of a daily hot meal, St. Vincent Meals On Wheels might be the answer: http://www.ag4svmow.org)
