Welcome!
Welcome to Saint Junipero Serra Parish! We are a Catholic Faith Community, located in Quartz Hill (Lancaster), California. Our parish was founded on August 15, 1987 and has grown significantly in these 30 years. Please feel welcome to join us for Mass, especially on the Lord’s Day. Our liturgies are supported by a full spectrum of ministries. We really take seriously the Catholic Church’s insistence that “participation of the faithful is the goal to be considered before all others.” Read More...
Pastor's Corner
August 18, 2019
This column is again “a week late and a dollar short”! Fr. Norbert is with us and for the time being is saying Masses in the main parish. He needs to get his first driver’s license. Then he will be almost every week at St. Elizabeth Mission. Wish him luck with this new experience living in the USA! He did live for awhile in Sierra Leone, in the CSJ mission we help financially with the teens’ 30 Hour Fast every year. His undergraduate studies were in British Literature and his English is very good.
We will throw a welcome party for our new associate pastors, Fr. Jonathan and Fr. Norbert, on September 15th from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. We hope to have our various choirs singing for us as well as festive foods and beverages for all. Please put it into your social calendar! We are so blessed to have these two priests with us.
You may remember my requests for prayers when our Fr. Lawrence was ill with cancer and my going to Ohio for his funeral in June. He had served as the treasurer of the USA-Mexico Vice-Province of the CSJ for over twenty years. The superiors did a con sultation of all confreres in the Vice-Province for suggestions for his replacement. I received a clear plurality of votes. The Superior General offered me the position as V-P Counselor/Treasurer. The Provincial strongly encouraged me to accept it, and I have. This involves mostly bookkeeping, but there are various meetings and visits to the individual communities. The next two V-P Council meetings will be held in California—here in November and San Pedro in January. I will be going to Ohio in October to make sense of Fr. Lawrence’s files and see what I ought to bring back home here. It is an affirmation but also a challenge that brings a bit of trepidation with it. Prayers please!
Sub Tuum Praesidium: “We turn to you for protection, Holy Mother of God. Listen to our prayers and help us in our needs. Save us from every danger, glorious and blessed Virgin.”
The prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”
