A woman prays near the gravesite of Servant of God Father Aloysius Ellacuria, CMF, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude. One year ago, she stood in the same place seeking help for her sick husband.
“Prayers are powerful,” said Elizabeth Plaisted, parishioner of Nativity Catholic Church in Torrance. “We came to pray to Father Aloysius for his intercession and now my husband is doing great. He had his surgery. He’s cancer-free.”
Plaisted was among those attending the 43rd Anniversary Memorial Mass of Father Aloysius Ellacuria, CMF, held at the Chapel of the Annunciation at Mission San Gabriel June 8.
