Speakers, liturgies bring grieving LA Congress crowd to their feet
A rousing keynote talk from Bishop Joseph Espaillat gave Congress-goers mourning the loss of Bishop David O’Connell a needed boost. And on Sunday morning, organizers pulled together a bilingual prayer service in O’Connell’s honor, presided by Archbishop José H. Gomez. His life was celebrated in many ways with Irish prayers and music, images of O’Connell from throughout the years, and testimonies from some of those who knew him best.
“Now he (Bishop O’Connell) has more power because he’s in heaven, and I’m sure you’re going to feel his presence more.”
-Archbishop Gomez
