Action
Detention Ministry
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.
