I noticed the other day that I also have a similar looking scar on the top of my left foot from a battle with a lava lamp back in college. So,... Read more
Happy Lent. (Although my mother used to say, “If you like Lent, you’re doing it wrong.”) Tonight, Fr. Willy Raymond will be celebrating a Mass at 7pm at Family Theater for our Hollywood RCIA program.

Every year I ask God to send me an intention... Read more
