Our March Meeting: Stations of the Cross
Tuesday, March 3, 7:00 p.m., Fr. Gerald Meisel Hall, St. Matthew Catholic Church, 672 Temple Ave., Long Beach
On Tuesday, March 3rd, Comunidad prays the Stations of the Cross. The Stations recall the Via Dolorosa, the path that Jesus walked on the way to His crucifixion. Along the way we reflect on our own journey as Gay and Lesbian Catholics. We will begin in the Fr. Gerald Meisel Parish Hall at 7:00 PM with Stations following at 7:30 PM in the Church. At the completion of the Stations, we will return to the hall. We are looking for volunteers to make soup and to read. We will have signup sheets at our February meeting or you can contact me at My email address if you are interested. Please join us.
Our April Meeting: “Via Lucis: Stations of the Resurrection.”
Tuesday, April 7, 7:00 p.m., Fr. Gerald Meisel Hall, St. Matthew Catholic Church, 672 Temple Ave., Long Beach
Our April 7th program will be new for us. We will celebrate Easter with " “Via Lucis: Stations of the Resurrection.”
The Via Lucis, or Stations of the Resurrection, is a devotion that focuses on the events following the Resurrection of Jesus Christ to the Coming of Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Via Lucis moves from the experience of suffering, which in God's plan is part of life, to the hope of arriving at man's true end: liberation, joy and peace which are essentially paschal values
The Via Lucis is a potential stimulus for the restoration of a "culture of life" which is open to the hope and certitude offered by faith, in a society often characterized by a "culture of death", despair and nihilism.
Please contact Steven Nadolny at My email address if you are would like to read one of the stations
Blessed Sacrament Church: Out Lenten Retreat
Lent invites us into the desert, a sacred space of silence, reflection and encounter with God. This year, Blessed Sacrament Hollywood invites you to step away from the noise of daily life and join them for a meaningful Lenten retreat focused on renewal, hope, and joy.
Blessed Sacrament Church is honored to welcome Bishop Matt Elshoff as our special guest speaker. This retreat will help all honestly confront the deserts we face while recovering God’s faithful presence within them.
