A Baldwin Park priest’s unexplainable recovery from an Achilles tear in 2017 has led to the canonization of a new saint.
Last month, Pope Francis recognized by decree that the recovery of the Rev. Juan Manuel Gutierrez was the result of a miracle thanks to the intercession of Pier Giorgio Frassati.
In 2017, Gutierrez was playing basketball in Camarillo with fellow seminarians while he was working toward becoming a priest.
