Events 2023

St. Mary's by the Sea Roman Catholic Parish Posted on August 11, 2023 by adminAugust 11, 2023

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary A Holy Day of Obligation – August 15th

At the end of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary, forever unstained by sin, was brought body and soul to heaven. Since it was through her that God’s Son was born and since her Son brought redemption to the whole world, we can assume that our Blessed Mother was taken summarily to heaven to be reunited with her beloved Son. Mass times will be as follows:

Mon., 8/14: 5:30 pm Vigil Mass 

Tues., 8/15: 8:00 am / 12:10 pm / 5:30 pm &

7:00 pm Latin Mass

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the Church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. This collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis, the Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees. When you contribute, you become an instrument of peace.

PLEASE BE GENEROUS! For more information about Christians in the Holy Land, visit www.myfranciscan.org.good-Friday

We are heading into our exciting month of events in August…. And we will need your help with fun activities soon. We have a few new volunteers coming forward to help with both the Parish Picnic to be held on Aug. 13th, from 11:00-2:00ish which is wonderful! The Church will supply grilled foods: brats, burgers, and hot dogs, (and any monetary donations are always appreciated to help pay for the food, tent and the table and chairs we needed to rent). You can help as well with the Picnic            set-up at 9:30am on Aug. 13th, at Lake Park located on the corner of 11th and Lake St. Help is needed to accept and arrange food brought by fellow parishioners around 11:00; Cooks to start grilling then too, please. All Parish attendees who CAN contribute food, here’s the suggested plan: those with last names starting with A-P, please bring appetizers, side dishes, or salads and Q-Z last names please bring desserts. Our KOC will contribute money toward drinks and ice, and another very, very good raffle prize to add to those we have been acquiring.

NEXT: The Rummage Sale committee starts collecting boutique donated items (from 9:00am-5:00pm) on Sat. Aug 20-Thurs. 25; we then need a lot of help to set-up the tables and tarps in the church parking lot with all the priced sale items on Thursday, 8/25 at 2:00 pm!!

Parish Centennial Celebration

St. Mary's by the Sea Roman Catholic Parish Posted on May 20, 2022 by adminMay 28, 2022

Centennial Celebration

2023 will mark the 100th Anniversary of the construction of our Church. At that time, it was Sts. Simon & Jude Church run by Franciscan priests until 1973 when they moved to their current location on Magnolia Avenue in Huntington Beach. Our Church was then officially designated St. Mary’s by the Sea in 1977 after the Diocese of Orange was established in 1976.

For our anniversary, we are currently planning to have a Centennial Celebration, which will be held next year. We are so grateful and excited in anticipation of such a great occasion, but we need you, your ideas and gifts. Since we are just in the planning stages of the celebration, we will soon be forming various committees to oversee certain projects. Some of these projects (but, probably not all) will include a new parish directory, gathering facts about the history of our Church, organizing photos and stories for possibly a booklet or video, promoting our event including on social media, the actual celebration Mass and dinner, and planning the decorations for that day. We are also open to any other ideas you think we might be interested in.

If anyone would like to help us make our Centennial Celebration one to remember and would like to join one of our committees, please contact the Office (714-536-6913, x-112) with your name and phone number. You can also email us at stmarys.hb@gmail.com.

In addition, since we will be documenting the history of this Church over the past 100 years, we are looking for help from our parishioners and their families for any knowledge you may have about the Church and photographs or pertinent stories you would be willing to share with us or lend, including any accounts of spiritual growth you may have experienced.

CLICK HERE: Centennial Celebration Volunteer Sign-up Form

Some volunteer topics:   photo directory, social media, historical records, decorations, dinner.
