+JMJ We have settled back into daily life in San Buenaventura Mission following our vocation outreach in the summer months of June and July. The Rite of Christian Initiation process in our Parish has resumed Tuesdays from 7-8:30 PM. We are having three weeks of registrations after all the Saturday evening and Sunday Masses the bi-monthly high school youth Confirmation process, which begins Sunday August 29^th and for the weekly children’s Religious Education program, which begins Saturday September 11th.

We are compiling the theological basis of our Charism and Spirituality which we will present to the Co-Adjutor Archbishop Jose Gomez, when he becomes the new Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles next year.

Construction of our convent seems to have moved slowly during the months that we have been out of town with electrical wiring being done and the exterior appearance remaining unchanged. However, the various inspections by the city have passed, so we hope more process can be made in the coming month.

Please pray for founding growth as we enter into our 26^th year at San Buenaventura Mission living and sharing our Chrism and Spirituality through catechesis with evangelization in order to pass on the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Church. Let us call upon our Mother Mary for her intercession under her title of the Immaculate Heart.
