Thousands to gather for annual Virgen de Los Remedios Mass at LA Cathedral
Thousands of devotees from diverse nationalities will gather on Sept. 22 for the annual Virgen de los Remedios Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, California, a tradition introduced by Filipino immigrants nearly 20 years ago.
The festivities will begin with a procession to assemble at the cathedral plaza at 3 p.m., and will be followed with a concelebrated Mass to be presided over by Bishop Clarence Silva of Honolulu.
Silva is a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church and chairman of USCCB Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Island Affairs.
