Dear Friends,

We will be accompanied by Dr. Heather Moore: a singer, arranger, musician and accompanist who received her doctorate in music from USC in 2025. Light refreshments will be served. Come sing with us!

Even in what can often feel like uncertain times, your Comunidad Board and family wish you a Happy New Year and a year filled with love, joy, peace, health, happiness, friendship and family. We look forward to spending 2026 with you!
Our Christmas BellRinger Collection
Thank You for your support and generosity! During the first three weekends of Advent our bellringers raised $5,492.00! We received 67 applications and were able to assist 283 people with gift cards. The cards were distributed on Thursday, December 18th so they could purchase holiday meals for themselves and their families.
40th Anniverary Mass - February 8
This year Comunidad and our Catholic Ministry with Lesbian and Gay+ Persons (CMLGP) celebrates its 40th Anniversary! On Sunday, February 8th, we return to Blessed Sacrament Church in Hollywood (6657 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028) at 5PM for Mass. It was there that then Archbishop now Cardinal Roger Mahoney initiated our ministry. Our then pastor, Fr. Gerry Meisel, was the first accept the Cardinal’s invitation to host our ministry and Comunidad was born. We will have signups at our first Tuesday January and February monthly meetings for those who may wish to carpool to the event. Comunidad will also host our own 40th Anniversary Mass and Celebration later this year. Come help us plan it!
