Sanctuary for Weary Souls: Divine Mercy Comes to Hollywood
In Los Angeles, Christ the King Catholic Church stands at the border separating Hollywood and the Larchmont sections of the city.
This church also features a special shrine: the archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy, offering mercy, solace and healing to all.
“Today, this shrine becomes a beacon of light, a symbol of the unfathomable love that God has for each one of us,” Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles said Oct. 14, 2023, when he officially proclaimed and dedicated the Divine Mercy Shrine within Christ the King Church as an archdiocesan shrine. “It is a place where we can come and experience the transformative power of Divine Mercy. Here, we can seek forgiveness, find strength and embrace the promise of eternal life.”
