Together in Mission 2025: Gifts of the Heart Annual Appeal
This year, as we celebrate the Jubilee Year of the Catholic Church, we invite you to make a special gift to Together in Mission to mark this sacred time of renewal and hope. Together in Mission 2025 “Gifts of the Heart” Annual Appeal launches with Announcement Weekend on February 1-2, Commitment Weekend on February 8-9, and Follow-up Weekend on February February 15-16, 2025
As one Catholic community of faith, rooted in prayer, let us reflect on how we can support our underserved parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Did you know that one in every five parishes and one in every four Catholic schools rely on financial assistance to continue their vital ministries? Your generosity directly impacts these communities, providing the resources they need to thrive.
This year’s cumulative Together in Mission goal is $16.9 million, representing the collective efforts of our Catholic family across all five regions. Your parish’s goal and progress throughout the year can be tracked on the Together in Mission Leaderboard at togetherinmission.org. Let us come together to make a difference and bring the love of Christ to those in need. Please consider making a special Jubilee Year gift to Together in Mission today!
Select your parish: Mary Immaculate Parish – Pacoima (P369)

Books can help children understand difficult situations
All children are bound to experience difficult events as they grow up. When complex situations arise before children develop the ability to fully articulate their emotions, books can help them feel more at ease with feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness. While a book can’t make everything better, stories can often help provide understanding and comfort. The picture book “Wildfire!” gives children a look at forest fires, firefighting and protecting natural spaces. The book can be found at https://a.co/d/7LyZzsX.
