Our Mission
The Catholic Community of Our Lady of
Malibu welcomes all people to worship
God, to grow spiritually in the Catholic
faith, and to receive encouragement and
direction in shaping the wider world in
light of the Gospel.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
By the year 800, when anointing was defined as the
proper office of priests, very complicated rituals began to
take shape. Perhaps this was to reassure the laity, who
had memories of an earlier practice, that the new way
was not only better, but impossible for a layperson to
conduct. Blessings and sprinkling of holy water, the singing of as many as seven psalms, penance, anointing of all
the senses, viaticum, all capped off by the clothing of the
sick person in penitential garments, were part of the rite.
This proved unwieldy, and creative spirits got to work.
By the 1500s people made distinctions between visiting
the sick, anointing, and viaticum.
The attempt of the Church to be faithful to the image
of a healing Christ has some complicated history, including centuries when the celebration was rare. Most sick
people had no access to the rites at all; only monastics or
the well off had much hope of this care. Today, those
unhappy days are long behind us, and the care of the sick
is an essential task in every parish’s life. As Christmas
approaches almost everyone comes in contact with someone who is a candidate for pastoral care. You live out the
best of our tradition when you arrange for a sick person
to receive Holy Communion or the sacrament of the sick
and the consolation of regular contact with the faith community.

Christmas in the Heart
Christmas! ‘Tis the season for kindling the fire
of hospitality in the hall, the
genial fire of charity
in the heart.
The child to be born will be called holy, the Son
of God.
—Luke 1:35
"Is Catholicism consistent with capitalism?”
Join us on December 21st in Sheridan Hall at 9:45am to
discuss this topic based on the material on Chapters 20,
21 and 22 of the book On Heaven and Earth we have
been reading. If you do not have the book and want to
participate excerpts from the chapters have been posted
on the OLM Sunday Symposium website. Any questions contact Rosario (424)644-0679
or [email protected].

We are singing the same awesome songs from last
year, "Mary Had a Baby," "Go Tell It On he Mountain"
and "He Came Down.” If you participated last year,
and you saved the CD, then listen to it and learn the
songs. If you need the music and words, email me at
[email protected]. (I will send you the songs digitally, so you can upload them onto your device or burn a
CD yourself. If technology eludes you, I am happy to
make you a CD and leave it in the parish or school office.)
There will be two rehearsals:
Sunday, December 21st, 9:45-10:30am in the Hall,
and Christmas Eve, before the 5:00pm Mass. Please be
there at 3:45pm on Christmas Eve.
We will be serving pizza prior to the Christmas Eve
Mass, so if anyone would care to donate, we would be
most appreciative.
Thank you, we are so excited,
Cindy Colburn and Sky Kunerth
