The many blessings of faith
Cancel-culture is a recent term used to describe a cultural phenomenon in which some who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized or shunned in professional or social circles, particularly in social media. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds his disciples that while they must challenge the behaviors and attitudes of those who struggle to love their neighbors, they shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. The Gospel writer points to the fact that Jesus’ life was the complete fulfillment of the ancient prophecies, not their rejection. It’s a great reminder to acknowledge the many blessings in our Judeo-Christian faith and value our treasures new and old (Matthew 13:51-52).

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles mandates all clergy, staff, whether paid or volunteer, and all volunteers who work in any capacity with or around children, the elderly, or people with special needs to complete the initial three-hour VIRTUS® Protecting God’s Children for Adults™ program. The program helps clergy, staff, volunteers, and parents to understand the facts and myths about child sexual abuse, how perpetrators groom children and young people, and how they, as caring adults, can learn and implement the important “Five Step Plan” to Protect God’s Children in helping to prevent child sexual abuse.
More than 150,000 clergy, staff and volunteers have participated in these training sessions throughout the five Pastoral Regions of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Please know you are welcome to attend a training at any parish in our diocese.
