Message from the Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
Last week at all of the Masses I announced that Archbishop Gomez has approved my retirement beginning July 1, 2026. For those who may not have been present last weekend, I wanted to repeat that announcement as part of this pastor's message: My service as Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish began on July 1, 2014. These last eleven and a half years as part of this wonderful parish community have been full of blessings and joys. I give thanks to God for being missioned here and for all of the amazing people who have been part of this parish family. Today I wanted to share with you that I will conclude my service as Pastor at the end of next June. I turn 74 in 2026, and Archbishop Gomez has approved my retirement. I wanted to share this directly with you rather than simply place a notice in the bulletin. I have mixed feelings as I share this with you. I know this is the right time and that I will have new opportunities to minister in different ways in the coming years, but I truly will miss OLPH. Please keep me in your prayers as I will pray for you. It seems so fitting that this is the weekend of our celebration of Thanksgiving, for my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you for your love and support. What a privilege it has been to be on this pilgrimage of faith with you. I am grateful to you, and I thank God for you! (To Be Continued...) THANK YOU FATHER CRAIGFor your many years of dedicated,
kind, spiritual and joyful service to the parish and all of the Santa Clarita community!! Daily Scripture Readings A great way to learn the Bible and incorporate it into your prayer is to set aside some time each day to reflect on the Scripture readings that are assigned to the daily liturgy. A simple way to do this is to go to the site https:// bible.usccb.org. This service is also available in Spanish at https://bible.usccb.org/es.
Once at the site, you have several options. You can click on the readings for the day and read the texts yourself. There is also a tab for the daily reading podcast in which those Scriptures are verbally proclaimed. Finally, there is a tab for a video, usually about two and a half minutes in length, which presents a variety of speakers offering brief reflections on the meaning of those Scriptures.
