I am Roman Catholic and the least I expect from a Roman Catholic Church is Holy Water in the benitier - which this Church clearly is cheap on and never provides to the Faithful.
HOWEVER there were several Halloween pumpkins around Christ's Crucifix. REALLY?? Since when is Halloween a religious celebration?
So at St. Augustine Halloween is OK but Holy Water is not necessary.
I will never again return to St. Augustine - There are MANY other Catholic Churches in Los Angeles that respect tradition and the Faithful instead of commercializing pagan festivities.
SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.

For the first time my wife and I went to this church while Our language different with language of the church Reverend but Mr.Christopher With utmost kindness , humility and patience equanimity guide us and welcomed to us.This behavior was very valuable and attractive for us.
Beautiful church. Mass services are also great as there are 2 Masses on weekdays and multiple on weekends (with one Mass is in Spanish). The Church inside is cozy and plenty of seats. Since I discovered this church, I've come here often for worship.
