St. Francis de Sales Cathedral

on this week's Homily
The lost sheep, the lost coin, the lost son:  They all assure us that God is always and everywhere seeking out human beings who are lost and bringing them back into a loving relationship with Him.  Have you been successful in following God’s own example – as spoken to us through Jesus– in striving to reconcile and restore relationships with anyone who is “lost” to you?

Just a reminder that Fr. Jay will never text you for money or to purchase any kind of cards. Last night, Sept 2, 2019, a number of people received text messages from this number 213-973-0421 asking for money pretending to be Fr. Jay. Please do not respond to any request for money or purchasing of cards, etc. If you need to verify any request, please contact the Church Office over the phone or in person.

Although the renovations to the Cathedral have been postponed, individual parishioners have come forward and offered to fund the restoration of our Stations of the Cross.  We have secured the services of Godfrey Studio of Ecclesiastical Art.  The lead artist on this project (Belinda Godfrey) is, herself, a third-generation ecclesiastical restorationist.  In order that the work can begin on Monday, the stations along with 4 statues have been removed from St. Francis.  So don't be alarmed when you see empty pedestals or miss the stations ... rather, share our excitement!
