Social Ministries

Holy Name of Mary Catholic Community Archdiocesan Detention Ministries provides Communion Service, Sacrament Preparation and Bible Study / Fellowship to the young inmates of these camps, which are run by the L.A. County Probation Department. The age range of these young men who are often abandoned, neglected and sometimes forgotten, is from 14 to 18 years old. If you have a heart to help in these young men’s salvation, or if God has been tugging on your heart to make a difference in the world where we live, give one of the Chaplains a call as each of the camps needs are different. They will be happy to introduce you to a fulfilling, grace-filled ministry. Contact the Pastoral Office for more information.

Respect Life

The mission of our Respect Life Ministry is to provide an educational, political, and supportive agenda that fosters a strong respect for life at every stage and in every circumstance. As the need arises we keep our parish informed on political issues that have a high social justice impact in the sanctity of life arena, including abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and capital punishment. Contact the Pastoral Office for more information.
