Third Sunday of Easter
April 19, 2026
"He was made known to them in the breaking of the Bread."
Luke 24:35
As the two disciples walked toward Emmaus, their hearts were heavy with grief, yet Jesus was walking right beside them. Often, like those travelers, we fail to recognize the Lord’s presence in the midst of our own daily journeys and struggles. It was only in the 'breaking of the bread' that their eyes were opened to the truth of the Resurrection. This weekend, may we invite the Risen Christ to stay with us, allowing Him to open the Scriptures and transform our hearts. As we receive Him in the Eucharist today, let us recognize Him anew and carry His light back into our world with joy.

Community is truly at the heart of our mission at Ss Peter & Paul, and we were blessed to see that spirit in action at our 5th Annual Spring Fiesta! We want to extend an enormous thank you to the Roberts family for their incredible generosity in hosting us at East LA. Because of their kindness, every dollar raised from the event went directly toward supporting SPP! It was wonderful to see such a large turnout of parishioners and friends coming together for an evening of food, fellowship, and fun. This vibrant sense of connection is what makes our SPP community so special. We'd also like to thank the wonderful staff at East LA for the delicious food & drinks and for their warm hospitality throughout the evening!
And of course, thank you to everyone who attended and supported this event. Your presence helped make this year’s Fiesta our most successful one yet!
The 2026 Annual Appeal is officially underway at our parish. This yearly initiative is more than just a collection; it is a critical opportunity for us to support the mission of the Church across all four counties of our Archdiocese. We extend our sincere gratitude to the parishioners who have already made a pledge or gift to the 2026 Appeal. If you have not yet had the chance to contribute, we invite you to prayerfully consider how you can help us meet our goal.
Our 50/50 raffle is well underway, and we're nearing the drawing on June 29. If you haven't grabbed your tickets yet, they are $10 each or 13 for $100. Every entry directly supports our parish and its ministries, and one lucky winner will take home half of the final pot. You can pick them up after Mass, at the office, or download the 50/50 ticket form linked below. Thanks for your continued support!
