Our November Meeting - Remembering Our Loved Ones


Tuesday, Tuesday November 10 in Fr. Gerald Meisel Hall at 7:00 pm, St. Matthew's Church 672 Temple Ave, Long Beach

Dear Friends,

We will remember loved ones who have passed with a rosary, music and shared memories. Attendees, please bring your rosaries and photos of loved ones in frames with stands. You are also invited to bring a dish to share that your loved one liked. Songs after each rosary decade: • Ave Maria • How Great Thou Art • Entre Tus Manos • Old Rugged Cross • Wind Beneath My Wings. At this annual event we will be especially remembering Deceased members of Comunidad and our Catholic Ministry with Lesbian and Gay+ Persons (CMLGP). Please text the names of your loved ones to Steven Nadolny at before November 4.

Because Nov. 3 is election day, our monthly meeting will be moved to November 10


Steering Committee Elections


Elections will be held at our November meeting. If you are interested in becoming more active in Comunidad’s Ministry, this is your opportunity. Committee members typically meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month to plan events for the general meeting. Anyone who is interested is welcome to join. Please call or text Steven Nadolny at if you want more details. God Bless

Bellringers Needed



In keeping with our annual tradition, Comunidad bell ringers will once again be outside the church after all the Masses on the weekends of December 5/6 and 12/13 collecting cash donations which will be used to purchase Christmas groceries for parishioners who otherwise might not be able to enjoy a holiday meal. Donations from this collection are specifically meant for persons and families who belong to our parish.

If you are interested in helping, please call or text Steven Nadolny at .
