+ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Almighty Father, We praise your holy name for the many blessings you grant us. We place our complete trust in you, without doubting your bountiful care for us. Help us to acknowledge that every good thing comes from you. Help us to never take for granted all that we have received from you, so that we may always be filled with heartfelt gratitude and a sincere love.

For the past 15 months, the Coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of restrictions on our daily lives and the liturgy in general. On June 15th, in accordance with the guidelines of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, our church will be able to reopen. However, we are still cautious about Masses and other gatherings where many people gather. Putting each other’s safety first, we have prepared the following guidelines for a gradual reopening.

Dear brothers and sisters of St. Gregory Nazianzen Church, I would like to send my warmest greetings to all of you. Our parish will begin the process of reopening in mid-July. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, however, some restrictions will remain in place and our reopening will happen slowly over time. It’s important to remember that Archbishop José Gómez has extended the dispensation from our Sunday Mass obligation until further notice.
