Additional observations St. Bruno is a parish of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It was established in 1955 on land that had previously been a lemon orchard. It was named for St. Bruno, the founder of the Carthusian Order in France. It serves nearly 3,000 registered households.
Registered households can be a misleading statistic for parish size. Often it does not reflect those who have moved away. How many families have made a contribution to a Sunday collection in the last year?
Glad that they offer more than 1/2 hour for confessions.
