Happy Anniversary, Archbishop!

For 15 years, Archbishop José H. Gomez has faithfully shepherded the Archdiocese of Los Angeles with courage, compassion, and a deep love for Christ and His Church. As we celebrate this special anniversary, we invite LA Catholics and our friends to join us in offering a special gift of prayer: a Spiritual Bouquet.

A Spiritual Bouquet is a beautiful Catholic tradition — a collection of prayers, sacrifices, Masses, Rosaries, holy hours, and acts of charity offered for a particular person or intention. Together, as one family of faith, we can surround Archbishop Gomez with our gratitude and prayers as he continues his ministry among us.

You are invited to participate in one or more of the following ways:

• Submit your prayer intention through our online form below.

• Leave a message of gratitude or prayer in the comments on LA Catholics social media posts.

• Send a short video message sharing your prayers or encouragement by texting it to 424-208-4812.

All prayer intentions, messages, and videos will be gathered and presented to Archbishop Gomez on March 26, which is the 25th anniversary of his episcopal ordination.

Let us come together in thanksgiving for his leadership and ask the Lord to continue blessing him with wisdom, strength, and joy in the years ahead.
