Revered Catholic procession, with stops in L.A. area, takes on deeper meaning amid raids
There was added resonance this year, as the annual pilgrimage the images of Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Juan Diego kicked off in mid-September visiting about 15 Roman Catholic parishes in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley – a pilgrimage that will continue through Dec. 7.
The impact of the January wildfires and the ongoing immigration raids have prompted many parishioners to seek solace at houses of worship.
And so, the Guadalupe Procession, already a beloved event in the region, became even more so among many Catholics.
