Mission Statement
We are a community of worship on Sundays and weekdays, growing spiritually, supporting the gracefully aging parishioners in our community, while also preparing and offering to our children in catechism class the tools they will need to use in their daily lives. We focus on training future Religious Education teachers about the teachings and protection of our children, with emphasis on their protection.
We support people in recovery from alcoholism and drugs. We are helping our young families with wedding ceremonies and do a follow up to confirm or assist in their spiritual growth.
We reach out to the poor as instructed by Pope St. John Paul II in his encyclical Solicitudo Rei Socialis and we reflect the wishes and prayers of our current Pope Francis.
OLPH is one of 42 parishes and 17 missions within the Diocese of Santa Rosa. We are focused on getting to heaven and you are most welcome to join us on our journey there.

GOSPEL FOR FEBRUARY 09, 2020
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste,
with what can it be seasoned?
It is no longer good for anything
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then
put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lampstand,
where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your heavenly Father.”
PRAYER INTENTION FOR
FEBRUARY

“Public health measures and Science will rescue us” Virus will end, let us hope and pray that it is soon. It may or may not happen to the perfect satisfaction and it may not happen right this moment. Where is God, in this picture? God is acting on all of these, bringing an end to such suffering.
I Would like to share my pain for those of you who have lost your loved ones, and in your grief and in the struggle of illness, join my prayer with the Atlanta Brave’s Baseball player “let me live”, help you live, is my prayer for you. In this pandemic crisis, how do we pray? Any way you like. This crisis has personally taught me that our intellect is still finite, our, minds are still only human and some what limited even to deal with the virus like this covid19.
Our hearts are still good kind and yet Greedy and Jealous at times. Wait until they find the vaccine or other medicine? Our “ego’s” will be rising so high and who profit more when they find the medication, that will also be a question.
So, our minds and hearts are all made in the image and likeness of God. There are some practical draw backs, I cited for you above. With all these do not loose heart, let us take care of one another! pray for me, as well.
Fr. Angelito
