This is also the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ On Care for Our Common Home and the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of Creation. Studies have shown that being out in nature impacts our mental and physical health and we know as people of faith, being in Creation also brings us closer to God and one another! Our diocese joins these efforts by participating in the national Catholic Pilgrimages of Hope for Creation as we hope for a new way forward together as a world, Church, and family.

Our speaker for September is Fr. Daniel Seo of Our Lady of Peace Korean Catholic Center and he will be speaking on the role of beauty and theology when it comes to Church Architecture.
Isn’t beauty subjective? How can the Church justify expensive buildings in the midst of widespread poverty? What is the role of church design in glorifying God? What should be the purpose of a church building? These are some of the questions Fr. Seo will address in his talk.

Theological Implications of Alien Life
2025-08-30 17:00 - 21:00 | CA
Fr. William Goldin, Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe-La Habra, is truly delighted to announce a new series of one-evening theology, dinner, and themed cocktail events, opening on August 30th. Many people have questions about the Catholic Church’s position on strange occurrences, and often people incorrectly think that the Church is afraid to discuss such matters. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Church isn’t afraid of the truth, whatever that truth might suggest, about the universe or the world. All truth, if it is real, comes from the Holy Spirit. And so, in order that we might think about such strange and often numinous topics, OLG-La Habra is launching a new Symposium series: The Mysterium Encounter Symposium Series, a Three-Night Symposium series, taking place once every few months on Saturday, August 30th, 2025, Saturday, November 1st, 2025, and Saturday, January 31st, 2026!
The first symposium of our Mysterium Encounter Symposium Series will cover the Theological Implications of Alien Life. Fr. William Goldin will be hosting and moderating this symposium, and OLG-La Habra will have three speakers discussing how our theological tradition grapples with the possibility of aliens and extraterrestrial life, especially in view of the ongoing Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Hearings taking place in the US Congress. Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Paul Thigpen, is a world-renowned theologian and journalist, whose book, Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith, is a ground-breaking work on the topic. He will be joined by Fr. Thomas Davenport, OP, from the Faculty of Philosophy at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Fr. Davenport holds a PhD in Physics from Stanford University, whose work in the hard sciences involves theoretical particle physics, and who is also a professor of the philosophy of science in Rome. Our third speaker, providing the theology of the Fathers of the Church, will be Dr. Tikhon A. Pino, the Director of the Pappas Patristics Institute in Boston. In addition to great theological, philosophical, and scientific discussion, we will also be having themed cocktails, dinner, and… a tinfoil hat competition!
We hope to see you there! Registrations are limited, so sign up now to reserve your spot!
