Blessed are you who fear the LORD.

“EVANGELIZATION TEAM”
November 15/16, 2014
Campaign for Human Development
How many poor people are too many in this, the richest of
nations? Struggling to hang on. Making hard choices
between hunger, housing and health care for their families.
Let us work together to end poverty in America. The
Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
invests in community-based solutions that know no racial
or religious boundaries. We support self-sufficiency and
self-determination as the best strategies for change. We
support projects that break the cycle of poverty for good.
Next weekend, November 22/23, we will be asked to join
in solidarity with the 34 million poor of the United States
through the annual collection for the Catholic Campaign
for Human Development. Please help break the cycle of
poverty by giving generously to this most worthy cause.
Envelopes are available at all church entrances.
Special Prayer Requests
For the Sick: Jessica Jimenez, Gerry Gallagher.
For the Recently Deceased: Aurora Escueta, Vincenza
We plan to visit and welcome newly registered parishioners. We will provide a welcoming packet with information
of all the wonderful ministries and events at our parish.
Anyone interested in participating as a team member,
please contact our soon to be Deacon, Serj Harutunian, at
818-541-0770 or email to Sharutunian@charter.com.
Nicistaro, Marita Stewart, Rita Menezes, Isabel Cranshaw.
SAVE THE DATE!
This year we will be supporting “Operation Christmas
Child” as our Christmas project for helping the needy.
Please join the Incarnation Girl Scouts, Religious Education and Incarnation school students in the their effort to
collect toys, candy and toiletries for poor children around
the world sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse. There will be
a table in the patio area this weekend with information.
EVANGELIZATION
I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate the love of Jesus to those who do not know him
or have forgotten him.

SIMBANG GABI
WITH BISHOP OSCAR SOLIS
ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 7:00PM
Simbang Gabi (Night Mass) is a Filipino Advent tradition
consisting of a novena of Masses that will be celebrated
by Filipino-Americans in more than 100 parishes in the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles. This year, we have the honor and privilege of welcoming Bishop Oscar Solis, the
first and only Filipino consecrated U.S. Bishop at our
Simbang Gabi here at Incarnation Church.
This year, we will begin with Mass at 7:00 PM, followed
by a “Taste of the Philippines” reception featuring a variety of Filipino food and entertainment.
The Simbang Gabi committee has been busy planning
and organizing this event all year. We call all of our fellow Filipino parishioners to help us showcase our Filipino heritage. We need volunteers, donations of Filipino
food and sponsors to help fund our event. The success
of this event is dependent on all of us. Please be generous
with your time and treasure.
To sign-up or for questions, please email Marguerite Lincoln at mlincoln@goldbullet.com or Ben Aranda at

Incarnation Justice & Peace Ministry
Acts of Kindness 2014
A reminder that our Justice & Peace Ministry is collecting
handmade lap blankets for the patients at USC County
Hospital during Christmas time, so you still have time to
make a knit, crochet, quilt or fleece blanket--or one of
each! Lap blanket size is 36"x 36" or 36"x 48".
This is sponsored by the Department of Spiritual Care under the direction of Fr. Chris Ponnet, and we hope to help
them reach their goal of 500 blankets! A Blanket Workshop will be held Tuesday, November 18, 6:00 –8:30 PM
in the school auditorium.
Christmas Cards & Stamp Donations
The Justice & Peace Ministry is also collecting Christmas
cards and postage stamps again this year. These cards
will be distributed to inmates of local prisons and jails
giving them an opportunity to stay in contact with their
families and loved ones at Christmas. Your donations can
be dropped off at the Parish Center in designated boxes.
For questions, please contact Leslie Boccadori at 818383-8793/boccadori@gmail.com. Thank you!
