What is happening at Saint Ferdinand?

In the past few weeks, we have been asked by many as to when are we returning to normal, and our answer has been: “We don’t know.”  Currently our ministry of Saint Ferdinand Church has limited by the orders of the California governor, State & County Health Officials and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
