Incarnation Catholic Church

What Incarnation Catholic Church does

Incarnation Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish established in 1927 and operated under the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, headquartered at 1001 N Brand Boulevard, Glendale, California. It serves a multigenerational, multicultural community in northwest Glendale, offering a weekly schedule of six Sunday Masses (English, Spanish, and Tagalog), daily Mass, confession, and Eucharistic adoration, supplemented by online livestream via YouTube for homebound and remote participants. The parish is led by Pastor Fr. Rodel Balagtas (installed August 2019) and Associate Pastor Fr. Christian Morquecho (July 2025), supported by two deacons, a director-level staff of five, and approximately 54 total employees including school and preschool personnel.

Its core product set is sacramental and educational: weekly liturgical services, comprehensive faith formation for children (OCIC, K–5, First Communion), a two-year youth Confirmation program, Adult OCIA, sacramental preparation (Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick), youth ministry with retreats, and a parochial school (Incarnation School) and licensed preschool on campus. Auxiliary ministries include Liturgical Music (four choirs by Mass time), St. Vincent de Paul outreach, Life Justice & Peace Ministry, the Heart of Jesus charismatic prayer community, Knights of Columbus, Coffee with the Saints (seniors), and a dedicated Fil-Am Ministry. Technology infrastructure centers on a Tech & Livestream Ministry that operates video/sound equipment and YouTube streaming, with digital communications handled through Flocknote, Facebook, and Instagram.

The business model is donation-driven and nonprofit. Revenue streams comprise weekly offertory collections, recurring online giving via the eCatholic platform, Venmo (@incaglendale), suggested sacramental donations (e.g., $150 Baptism), ticketed parish events (e.g., $50/person Summer Luau with 500 tickets), Together in Mission campaign pass-throughs, and school/preschool tuition. The parish is currently building a new Parish Community Hall (groundbreaking March 2026, target completion October 2027) to support its centennial, after divesting its prior community center property in 2023.
