Not Catholic? Come anyway.
Every church on this site is open to anyone, and every Mass is public. You do not have to be Catholic to come in, sit down, and stay for the hour; nobody will ask. If it has been years, or it is your first time, here is what to expect at Mass, from what to wear to what to do at Communion.

Confession in Los Angeles
Most parishes of the Archdiocese hear confessions on Saturday afternoon, in the hour before the vigil Mass, and many keep a weekday time as well. The confession finder lists the scheduled times at the parishes nearest you, soonest first. Where a parish publishes no time, its page still carries the office telephone: a priest will hear a confession by appointment, and asking is enough.
Eucharistic adoration
The Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration at parishes across the Archdiocese, in a weekly holy hour at most of them and around the clock at a few. The adoration finder shows the hours nearest you; the perpetual adoration chapels are listed on their own page, for the hours when nothing else is open.
Mass in your language
Every Mass listed here carries the language it is celebrated in, so a Spanish Mass at a bilingual parish is marked as one and an English Mass at the same parish is not. Beyond English and Spanish, parishes of the Archdiocese celebrate in Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, Armenian, Chinese, Polish, Italian, French, and Latin. The Latin Mass page lists the parishes where Mass is celebrated in Latin.
The pastoral regions
The Archdiocese is governed in five pastoral regions, each with its own auxiliary bishop: Our Lady of the Angels, covering the central city; San Fernando, north over the hills; San Gabriel, east through the valley of the mission; San Pedro, south to the harbour and the beach cities; and Santa Barbara, north along the coast through Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Every parish page names its region and its deanery, so a parish can be placed in the Archdiocese and not only on a map.
