JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
The following churches have designated holy doors, through which the faithful may pass towards the path of spiritual renewal. St. Dominic Savio, Bellflower St. Mary of the Assumption, Whittier Church of the American Martyrs,
Manhattan Beach St. Catherine of Alexandria, Avalon St. Anthony Church, Long Beach
5 Ways to Live the Year of Mercy
1. Attend Mass or Pray before the Blessed Sacrament.
2. Make Profession of Faith.
3. Go to Confession or Sacrament of Reconciliation.
4. Receive Holy Communion.
5. Pray for the Holy Father and his inten-tions.
In particular, taking into consideration the spirit of this Holy Year, it is suggested that pilgrims recite the lovely prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee, and conclude the time of prayer with an invocation to the merciful Lord Jesus (for example, “Merciful Jesus, I trust in You”).
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
This coming Friday is the First Friday of the month. We will have Eucharistic Adoration at 7pm in our church. In our prayers, we include vocations, all the needs of our parish, and our families.

Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time November 15, 2015 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31, 2016
LENTEN REFLECTION at Maria Regina Church
The annual observance of Lent is the special season for the ascent to the holy mountain of Easter.
Catechumens are led to the sacraments of initiation by means of the rite of election, the scrutinies, and the
catechesis.
The faithful, listening more intently to the word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are prepared through a spirit of repentance to renew their baptismal promises (Ceremony of Bishops, 249).
You are welcome to reflect on the Lenten Sunday Readings with Sister Ugocha Chukwuleta every Tuesday evening from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
Classes begin February 16, 2016. Please register by calling the church office or by completing and turning in this form (offertory basket or to the church office) soon so that we may prepare for you. Thanks.
