Infant Jesus of Prague ~ Santo Niño Celebration

Main Celebrant:
Most. Rev. Oscar A. Solis D.D.,
Bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah

St. Catherine Labouré Church
Friday, January 18, 2019
Mass starts at 7:00 P.M.

Most Rev. Bishop Oscar A. Solis, DD and local priests will
celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at 7:00 p.m.
The Novena prayers and Chaplet will follow after the Mass.
Please join us in this celebration. We are privileged to have an exact replica of the
Infant of Prague (Santo Niño) clothed in a relic of
the Holy Robe that adorns the original statue in the shrine at Prague.
Please bring your own statues. The devotion of touching them to the Holy Robe
will conclude the celebration. This is a privilege not enjoyed in the Shrine at
Prague because the statue is enshrined high above a side altar.
Please feel welcome to join us.

PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND: ISRAEL & JORDAN

Join Fr. Lester, Catholic Chaplain of Cedars-Sinai Medical center,
on a pilgrimage to the Land of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

May 6-19, 2019.

contact our Pilgrimage Coordinator, Delia L. Tio, at (310) 625-5859,

Seats are limited.

What you see on the sculpture in detail is Christ risen among 117 Holy Vietnamese Martyrs. 
We picked 8 of the 117 and made their face larger. One of these 117 Martyrs is a woman.  The back ground is a few significant places in Vietnam, plus Our Lady of Lavang, the mission boat, etc... Around the frame are the tools/weapons that were used to torture these men and woman. These 117 Martyrs were canonized by pope John Paul the 2nd in 1988, which is exactly 30 years ago.
On the very bottom center of the sculpture you can see our VIetnamese community logo of St. Peter (the pope hat and the keys of heaven) to the left of it is the medal of St. Catherine Laboure.  
This sculpture is truly custom made for our church only. 

An translated version of the video is forthcoming.
