![]() Father Paul Hruby
| Father Paul James Hruby became pastor on July 1st, 1999. Father Paul is no stranger to the parish or to Glendale because he was baptized in this church on January 29, 1956. He grew up in Glendale in Holy Family parish and continues to have strong ties with the people in Glendale. He was officially installed as pastor September 19th, 1999. One of the hallmarks of Father Paul's ministry is service to the poor. Under his leadership, we became sister parish to St.Columcille's Parish in south central Los Angeles and the various ministries and our religious education program works with each parish. Fr.Paul's other charism that he brings to our parish is a sense that "All are Welcome". He formed a new welcome committee and we regularly welcome new members to our parish community. Fr.Paul brought in one of the first lay pastoral associates in the Archdiocese, Mr. Bill Shaules, to help in ministering to our parish. In 2002, Incarnation celebrated her 75th anniversary with a weekend of events including a reunion of Incarnation alumni and a grand liturgy concelebrated with Cardinal Mahony. On July 30, 2006, Incarnation Parish received the keys to the property of the nearby North Glendale Methodist Church. Their congregation grew less over the years and finally merged with the United Central Methodist Church. An offer was made to sell the property to Incarnation in a bid to keep the site in Christian ministry. Incarnation now enters a new era with significantly greater space for its growing ministries. Our
parish goals will be to continue to focus our attention to the areas defined by the
parish at large: Evangelization, Worship, Religious Education, Community Formation,
and Outreach. We will also
endeavor to embark on a journey of parish Renewal, that we may continually respond
to our generous God.
