When the parish’s 65-unit Santa Angelina affordable and permanent supportive housing development opened in 2024, its famed Early Childhood Center had to give up two of it classrooms, so it got two new spaces of its own in the brand new $2 million parish hall complex.

Speaking at Saint Matthias Episcopal Church, Whittier

March 28, 2026


During Lent, the people of Saint Matthias Episcopal Church in Whittier kept their hearts so firmly fixed on Jesus Christ that they took their eye off the ball.

Only on arriving for a delicious potluck at 6 p.m. did I realize that the event coincided with the Dodger-Diamondback season opener. I reckoned the healthy attendance purely as a gesture of respect for the Risen One.
