Los Feliz parish gets a 100th anniversary surprise from an old friend: Pope Leo XIV
The pope doesn’t check his own email, right?
Pope Leo XIV may not be the first pontiff with an inbox, but when Father Max Villeneuve, OSA, pastor at Our Mother of Good Counsel Church in Los Feliz, dashed off an email to his fellow Augustinian letting him know about the parish’s upcoming 100th anniversary, he never really expected a response.
But when Villeneuve woke up the next morning, he found a personal reply from the man himself, congratulating the pastor, the parish, and offering a special blessing for the anniversary.
