May our Blessed Mother watch over them and keep them close to her Son, that they might always know his love and walk in his way for their lives.
-Archbishop José H. Gomez
With praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, our 8 transitional deacons were called forth to the Sacred Order of Priesthood. Their ordination will take place on Saturday, May 31st at 9 AM at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.
We thank you for your prayers as the #newLApriests settle into their parishes and lives as priests.
