With praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, our 11 transitional deacons were called forth to the Sacred Order of Priesthood. Their ordination took place on Saturday, June 1st 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.
