Griselda Torres was evacuating during the Eaton Fire when a phone call gave her the news: her parish was on fire.
For Torres, the faith formation director at Sacred Heart Church in Altadena, the call was “like a blow to my stomach.”
She worked there, knew the parishioners. She lived only a few blocks away. She had lived in the area nearly all of her life.
Thanks to some swift action by a deacon and other helpers, they narrowly helped save Sacred Heart from being engulfed in flames.
