FamilieS in Faith
The apostles ask Jesus to “increase our faith”. The greatest thing we can do as parents is to ask that the gift of faith be given to our children. Yes, God will work through us, but God will be the primary instrument. We may feel our faith is weak, but with God, all things are possible.

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
The Archdiocese is participating in an Independent Compensation Program for Victim-Survivors of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles, along with five other dioceses in California, is participating in an independent program to offer persons who were victims of abuse as minors by diocesan priests, access to compensation as well as access to counseling services if they chose.
Those harmed many years ago and barred from filing lawsuits because of civil statutes of limitations will be eligible to make claims under the Independent Compensation Program for Victim-Survivors of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests. The Archdiocese’s participation in the program is part of a long- standing commitment to supporting and compensating victims of abuse, the protection of children and the vulnerable, and the prevention of abuse and misconduct in Catholic parishes, schools and ministries.
Nationally recognized mediators and private compensation program administrators, Kenneth R. Feinberg and Camille S. Biros will administer the program. Funding for the program in our Archdiocese will come from self-insured reserves, monies set aside for this purpose. We pray that this new program might provide another avenue toward healing and hope.
Please visit www.californiadiocesesicp.com for information about the program.
For particular help, call Assistance Ministry at 213-637-7650.
SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.
