IMMIGRATION RESOURCES
In light of the current immigration situation in our country, which has resulted in widespread worry and uncertainty in our parishes, schools and communities, let us pray that our brothers and sisters living in fear may find strength and peace in our support through God’s work.
Below are links to two important resources for undocumented immigrants:
. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Immigration Resources page, which contains the most up-to-date immigration information.
. Frequently Asked Questions for Undocumented Persons in 2025, a comprehensive document created by the SoCal Immigration Task Force, which addresses many of the questions posed by our undocumented community, and provides practical guidance during these uncertain times.

GOODNESS, BLESSING, AND ORDER: GENESIS 1 IS THE KEY TO THE BIBLE
Guest Speaker: Fr. Garrett Galvin OFM, Ph.D. (President, Franciscan School of Theology)
Sunday, January 25 — 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.
Friars Lounge
Although Genesis 1 is set chronologically before the rest of the stories of the Bible, many scholars believe it was one of the last parts of the Book of Genesis to be written. It seems to be the product of an editor who has two strong perspectives before him or her and finds a way to honor both of them while furthering a message of goodness and orderliness that is not always present in Genesis. Genesis 1 emphatically focuses the reader on blessing and especially goodness.
