‘Life is beautiful!’
‘Life is beautiful!’ declares Archbishop Gomez as OneLife LA celebrates 10 years
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles founded OneLife LA a decade ago with a mission of promoting “the beauty and dignity of every human life from conception to natural death.” On Jan. 20, the annual gathering commences its 10th anniversary of celebrating life with the energy, prayer and particularly joyful sense of fellowship for which it has become known. The enthusiastic archbishop took time to chat with me about the event’s impact and significance.
Charlie Camosy: For readers unfamiliar with OneLife LA, can you give us a quick overview of what it is and how it came about?
Archbishop José H. Gomez: OneLife LA is a peaceful, joyful procession and family festival that we hold each year in celebration of the beauty and glory of human life.
