Welcome Father Gianantonio !
Hi there,
I am Father Gianantonio Baggio CS, new pastor for Saint Peter Italian Church and San Conrado MIssion.
I'd like to introduce myself to all of you, since the majority of our parishioners do not live close to the Parish.
I was born on January 24th, 1964 and I was raised in Italy, in the small town of Bassano del Grappa (VI) a few miles from the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, my Patron Saint. After many years in the seminary with the Missionaries of Saint Charles Borromeo ( Scalabrinians) at the age of 24, I was sent to study theology in Argentina, and on Juy 11, 1992 I was ordained into the priesthood in my hometown parish together with my brother Fr Fabio Baggio CS. Mom and dad are already in Heaven and my brothers, Fabio and Luca are in Italy.
Since then, my mission has always been in North America: 21 years in the USA, 3 in Canada and 3 in Mexico serving Italian, Latin American, and US communities.
God willing, I will share with you this new mission experience in Los Angeles for as many years as possible; with your prayers and support, we will continue to make our Parish a center of Faith, Culture and Outreach for migrants and the poor.
"That they may be one as we are one." (John 17:22)
May these words of the Gospel guide us in God's service, as Jesus taught us, to help unite everybody in the only true love: the Father's, the Son's and the Holy Spirit's.

65 Years of Priesthood
Congratulations to Father Raniero Alessandrini, C.S.
on the 65th anniversary of his ordination!
Your hard work and dedication to our parish community are greatly appreciated.
Sacro Cuore di Gesù, prega per noi.
Jesus revealed his Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque through a series of apparitions in the late 1600s. The first apparition came while she was praying before the Blessed Sacrament. She gave Jesus her heart and He took it and placed it in His fiery, burning heart before returning it to her.
PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Oh Lord Jesus Christ, to Your most Sacred Heart I confide this intention {name petition}. Only look upon me, then do what Your love inspires. Let Your Sacred Heart decide.
I count on You.
I trust in You.
I throw myself on Your mercy.
Lord Jesus, You will not fail me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your kingdom come.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked You for many favors, but I earnestly implore this one. Take it, place it in Your open Heart. When the Eternal Father looks upon it, He will see it covered with Your Precious Blood. It will be no longer my prayer, but Yours, Jesus.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. Let me not be disappointed. Amen.

Scalabrini Year 2021-2022
Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Scalabrinian Year 2021-2022
November 9, 2022 will mark the 25th anniversary of beatification of John Baptist Scalabrini. For this special occasion has included a “Scalabrinian Year” that will begin on Sunday, November 7, 2021, and will end on Wednesday, November 9, 2022. The theme for the Scalabrinian year is: Making the world everyone’s homeland, a theme that fits in with the recent teaching of Pope Francis. May the Holy Spirit, who guided Blesses Scalabrini along the many paths explored by his immensely charitable heart, guide us so that we may grow tirelessly in charity.
We are called to intensify our prayers and initiatives so that Blessed John Baptist Scalabrini may be proclaimed a saint: a proclamation to give glory to God and to make his testimony as a missionary bishop shine with greater prominence, a voice for the voiceless, help for those in need, inspiration for those who are inclined to give their lives to Christ alongside migrants, refugees and seafarers.

STATEMENT ABOUT THE ST. PETER’S ITALIAN CHURCH VANDALISM
October 11, 2021
Our centennial church, which has served the Italian community since 1904, had its facade damaged by vandalism this morning October 11, 2021. Our parish and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles are working with law enforcement on the investigation.
Our parish lives in the spirit of the gospel and will continue to strive for harmony, unity and cooperation with all communities. We will continue with our outreach programs in collaboration with the Missionaries of St. Charles Scalabrinians, the Order of Malta and other nonprofit organizations, to help the needy and the poor of all nationalities.
We pray for all the people who suffer discrimination and isolation, so that they can find peace in their hearts, and we can live in harmony and peace. Our parish is a home of prayer and encounter, where everyone is welcome to find GOD. We forgive and look forward to having the strength to do GOD’s will.
Fr. Fernando Cuevas, C.S.- Pastor

The Parish of St. Peter was founded in the year 1904 to care for the spiritual and social needs of Italian immigrants who came to America in search of religious, social, and economic freedom.
Today, through liturgical, educational and social programs, St. Peter’s Italian Church in Los Angeles continues the mandate given to the Missionaries of St. Charles by their founder Blessed John Baptist Scalabrini to care for all migrants as they journey toward the Kingdom of God.
