Los Angeles Catholic cemeteries celebrate Día de los Muertos
Día de Los Muertos celebrations are also scheduled for All Souls Day on November 2.
Mexican American and Catholic communities gathered, many in colorful attire, at the 10th annual “Día de los Muertos” celebration on Saturday, Oct. 26.
“Día de los Muertos,” or “Day of the Dead,” events at different L.A. area cemeteries — hosted by Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries of the L.A. Archdiocese — kicked off Saturday at the Calvary Cemetery and Mortuary in East L.A.
“This year’s celebrations will offer a unique opportunity for families to enjoy a Catholic tradition that unites faith, prayer and cultural heritage to honor the faithful departed,” a news release from the Archdiocese said.
