First Friday 24-Hour Adoration Change

It is very difficult to staff 24 hours of Adoration each month, especially during the early morning hours. We want to make sure that both the people who attend and Jesus on the Altar are safe. We did have an incident last month and are not sure that it was safe.

The Adoration group, along with the Staff, have decided to change the Adoration hours. So beginning next month, Friday, August 3, First Friday Adoration will begin at 9 am Friday and continue until 9pm Friday. First Friday will then end with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration will not continue through late night Friday and early morning Saturday. All adorers currently volunteering for the late night Friday and early morning Saturday hours are encouraged to volunteer during the 9am-9pm hours on First Friday.

Please call the Office (714-536-6913, x-112) to volunteer for a new hour. Thank you to all who have supported and continue  to support this most important St. Mary’s by the  Sea program.

2018 Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA)

“We Are One” – Our parish goal for the 2018 Pastoral Services Appeal is for at least 674 of our families to pledge $75,000 to support Faith Formation, Outreach Ministries, Clergy Formation and Support and parish and diocesan advancement. Gifts made over $37,000 (our 2018 diocesan goal) will come straight back to us and go towards the completion of our own parish projects. The PSA provides a convenient way for all of us, no matter what our time limitations, to take an active role in the mission of the church. As a guide to a proportionate gift, please consier pledging a percent of your income, or the pay you receive for one or two hours of work each month for ten months. You can submit your PSA Pledge Envelope at the regular collection during Mass, return it to the Parish Office, or go online at www.oc-foundation.org.
