all of them were unexpected or not what the person was expecting Lousen, Margaret Gibbons, Jim Le Berthon,
to happen. Has this happened to you? There have been times in my Renee Meyerson, Roxanne Martin, Maryanne
life when I was mad at the position or situation I felt God had put Moses, Patricia Ryan, Dominic Lingua, Thomas
me in. I got irritated and wanted to just throw my hands up and Hansen, Gary Lucero, Christopher Kramer,
quit. I can feel for the Apostles, yet I did not give up and I did what Harmon Jones, Rudolph Casillas, Regis Coyle,
I thought God was calling me to do. Low and behold, it was exactly Bob Spychalsky, Maria Esparza, Bernie Sullivan,
where I should be!! When I got over being irritated, I realized the William Mulvoy, Andrew Clark, Veronica Ford,

what seems to be the correct thing and not what others are asking Jane Roach, Richard Mancini, Guillermo Gaetos,

Child safety has been affected by Covid-19 pandemic
Today, as we deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is
noteworthy that the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
(NCMEC) reported that child safety has also been affected as a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic. “In 2021, NCMEC stated that they had
experienced a 97.5% increase in online enticement reports between
January 2020 and December 2020, versus the same time period in
2019.” NCMEC maintains a 24-hour hotline at 1-800-843-5678, and the
CyberTipline receives reports of child sexual exploitation incidents via
an online form at https://report.cybertip.org/. For more information,

TOGETHER IN MISSION
We are excited to announce the
Together in Mission 2022 Campaign
will launch
Commitment Weekend February 19-20
As one Catholic community of faith, let’s pray and reflect on how we can continue to help our struggling
parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Did you know? One in every 5 parishes needs financial assistance, and 1 in every 4 Catholic schools
needs critical funds to keep their doors open. Our cumulative Together in Mission 2022 goal is $14.4M,
representing the Annual Appeal throughout all five regions.
Together, let’s make a difference and gather as one Catholic family for our schools and parishes.

OUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
SYNOD MEETINGS
The Holy Father Pope Francis has summoned the Church to participate in a worldwide synod with the theme:
“For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission“
Instead of an assembly of bishops in Rome only, Pope Francis invites the whole People of God to participate in the synod –
to “journey together” with our brothers and sisters in Christ along the path of renewal, guided by the Holy Spirit.
Everyone is invited to join us at one of the following listening sessions which will be held in Healy Hall:
Feb. 14th (7-8:30pm), 19th (5:30-7pm), 20th (11:30am-1pm), 21st (7-8:30pm), 28th (7-8:30pm)
We encourage all to participate: young adults and seniors, active parishioners and those who have drifted away, as well as
those who feel marginalized from the Church. We will pray and reflect together on where we are as a Church and how the
Holy Spirit is calling us to move forward. Looking forward to seeing and hearing from all of you.

LEONARD RUDNICK TO RECEIVE SVDP JUBILARIAN AWARD
Our parish conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
would like to recognize one of our members,
Leonard Rudnick
with the SVDP Jubilarian Award
for the work he has done at Holy Redeemer-St James as a Vincentian.
Although there had been a conference at Holy Redeemer, it had been abandoned several years
before. In 2011, Leonard worked with the LA Council to reinstate our conference and to recruit
volunteers. Leonard became our President and held that position for six years. He continues to help
us whenever called upon. He is generous and always willing to help when needed. He has the true
heart of a Vincentian.
We wish to congratulate Leonard Rudnick on his award!
With God’s help, you will continue to succeed in your leadership and in your duties,
because Our Lord’s work is accomplished not so much by the multitude of workers
as by the fidelity of the small number whom He calls.
