At Cathedral Mañanitas, a 12-year-old carries on the family tradition
For nearly as long as he can remember, Sebastian Gonzalez, 12, has watched his grandmother help lead the rosary during the annual Las Mañanitas vigil at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels celebrating Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Each year, Gonzalez and his family settle into the pews for a long night of prayer and song, a tradition that’s endured from one generation to the next.
“I’ve always seen her go up and read the rosary, and I’ve always thought to myself how amazing it would be to be able to do that,” said Gonzalez, a student at St. Bernardine of Siena School in Woodland Hills.
