A MESSAGE FROM OUR SENIOR WARDEN

August 2026

Christ Church Parish was represented at the Ordination and Consecretation of the 8th Bishop of Los Angeles, Bishop Antonio, by Patricia Orton, Tony Hermisillo and I. The program was well attended, entertaining and educational. Ask us about it.

The opportunity to meet Bishop Antonio will take place this weekend on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at St. Paul’s in Pomona. Hopefully, those interested in attending were able to register as requested. We are continuing with Requiem and Renaissance and look forward to sharing more information in the near future. In fact, many may be requested to participate in a survey. We hope that you will participate.

Our Vestry meeting that was scheduled for Sunday, July 19th had to be postponed because of the active discussion that occurred after Jeff Paulus’ assessment and anticipated options were presented as we approach our final meetings with the Diocese on Requiem and Renaissance. My prayer is that we will find solutions that includes old and young with some dynamic opportunities that will attract community members who share our passion for a safe place to worship, expand our knowledge, and enhance our love for each other while we engage and contribute to the ever-changing society around us. We have our sacristy, library, garden, kitchen and brain injury awareness. What will it take to expand to include youth and senior tutoring in areas that are essential to the quality of life in our community. Do we need some arts and crafts, some musical diversity, some language training? Do we need to establish a relationship with the local schools and share our safe place with their families for tutoring, career guidance, college and estate planning? What should we be doing? What do we want to do?

Our next Vestry meeting will be August 16, 2026, and will take place in the library after hospitality. All are welcome!

We are here for you and welcome your ideas, family and friends!

THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL!
