At 1-year LA wildfire anniversary Masses, ‘we’re doing a little therapy’
Parishioners of Corpus Christi Church in Pacific Palisades and Sacred Heart Church in Altadena held special Masses to mark one year since wildfires upended their communities.
Both Jan. 7 liturgies gave survivors a chance to reflect on lessons learned and to pray for the healing still needed amid complicated rebuilding efforts.
Father Gilbert Guzmán, pastor at Sacred Heart, emphasized healing by offering the Anointing of the Sick to Catholics in attendance at the end of their bilingual Mass.
