=== Los Angeles Satanic Mass ===
On January 14, 2017, the Temple hosted what it billed as the largest Satanic gathering in history, hoping to double the attendance of the 2015 gathering in Detroit for the Baphomet unveiling. Film crews from VICE and NatGeo were on hand to document the event. The mass included three parts: Invocation Ritual, Destruction Ritual and a Bloodletting Ritual.<ref>{{cite web |date=January 14, 2017 |title=Satanic Mass ft. 3teeth, Author & Punisher, Coven of Ashes |url=https://www.facebook.com/events/1829019433995074/ |access-date=November 29, 2018 |website=Facebook}}</ref> Local Los Angeles media was also on hand to cover the event, calling the event "a bloody good time".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Verbueren |first1=Hannah |date=January 13, 2017 |title=The Satanic Black Mass was a Bloody Good Time |url=https://www.laweekly.com/slideshow/the-satanic-temples-black-mass-was-a-bloody-good-time-7826667 |access-date=November 29, 2018 |website=LA Weekly}}</ref>
