Food for the SOHL

  • Summary

  • Servants of the House of the Lord is a growing charismatic community of Catholic families and friends across Southern California, brought together by their common love for the Lord and the life He has blessed us with. Our Open Prayer Meetings (OPMs) are monthly gatherings where we invite a speaker to discuss a specific topic with our group. During these talks they share their wisdom on how seemingly-complex aspects of our faith can be broken down into bite-sized nuggets that we can apply in our everyday lives. These episodes are some of the talks given by our speakers throughout the years.

    (Recoded 12/18/2022)


    On May 14, 2022, Br. Eric M. Cruz, made his Final Profession of Religious Vows as a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Mass was held at Holy Name of Mary Church. San Dimas, California. Very Rev. Lane K. Akiona, ss.cc., Provincial Superior of the SSCC US Province, received the vows in the name of the Church and of the Congregation. In his homily, Fr. Akiona mentioned, “Live in action the Heart of Jesus and Mary. Be inclusive, merciful, reconciling, compassionate, tender, and be filled with great hope as a sign that God’s power continues to work in and through you.”
    The next day, on May 15, 2022, Br. Eric was ordained a deacon, at the same parish, by the Most Reverend David G. O’Connell, D.D., V.G., Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, San Gabriel Region. Joined with him were the Fr. Akiona, the SSCC priests of California, and the deacons of Holy Name of Mary. The family of Br. Eric were also present to celebrate these momentous events. Bishop O’Connell said in his homily, “We are called by the Lord to have that love for the people. We need people to wash the feet of our beloved people, the beloved poor, the beloved suffering and ill, and those who are alone.” As a Filipino native, he grew up witnessing poverty and the continuous need of the people for help and compassion. This reality continues to inspire him to pursue his vocation to the priesthood. He was accepted in the congregation in 2014.
    Deacon Eric will continue serving the Holy Name of Mary Church community for the duration of his pastoral year.
